All thanks to that southern fried backstabbing rat bastard, Jeff Sessions. If Sessions had any honor, he would fire everyone at the DOJ and commit seppuku.

President Trump ratcheted up his attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Saturday, tweeting that Sessions was "scared stiff" and "Missing in Action" in defending him amid special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Trump slammed Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer at the center of the Trump dossier scandal, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) and once again slammed Mueller's investigation as a "witch hunt."
"The big story that the Fake News Media refuses to report is lowlife Christopher Steele’s many meetings with Deputy A.G. Bruce Ohr and his beautiful wife, Nelly. It was Fusion GPS that hired Steele to write the phony & discredited Dossier, paid for by Crooked Hillary & the DNC," Trump tweeted.
"Do you believe Nelly worked for Fusion and her husband STILL WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF 'JUSTICE.' I have never seen anything so Rigged in my life. Our A.G. is scared stiff and Missing in Action. It is all starting to be revealed - not pretty. IG Report soon? Witch Hunt!" he wrote.
Trump’s attack on Saturday was likely prompted by murmurings that the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is readying subpoenas for people connected to the controversial Steele dossier.
Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) is reportedly preparing subpoenas for DOJ official Bruce Ohr, his wife, Nellie Ohr, and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, sources told The Hill this week.
Bruce Ohr is facing scrutiny from Republicans for his contacts with Simpson and Steele during the presidential campaign, the news of which prompted Trump allies to demand a special counsel investigation into the DOJ and FBI in December.
Simpson hired Steele to help produce the dossier that made a series of salacious allegations about Trump's connections with Russia.
Nellie Ohr worked for Fusion GPS during the presidential campaign — a fact that Republicans have promoted as a possible link between the DOJ and the opposition research firm.
Trump has gone after Sessions for the Russia probe before, saying earlier this month that the attorney general should stop the investigation "right now."
"Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further," Trump tweeted on Aug. 1.
Trump is also known to harbor hostility toward Sessions for recusing himself in the investigation.
“The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself...I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined...and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion!” the president tweeted in June.
who wants him to “unrecuse” he should resign but his boss is 8 months late firing him
It is what it is—I’m just hoping Trump takes it to the next level and goes full pinochet on their asses...Send in the marines.
Do you believe Sessions lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing?
You can bet Sessions ‘isn’t’ missing in action.....but the media will continue to run with the massive stories how Trump and Sessions are not getting along and even creating the stories....meanwhile the “Silent Executioner” is at work.
The only thing to really see is what Session will do once the investigations are over......When the hammer comes down, it will be glorious.
Trump can fire Sessions at any time that he wants and no one gets to object or attempt to punish him for doing so.
“Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52 (1926), was a United States Supreme Court decision ruling that the President has the exclusive power to remove executive branch officials, and does not need the approval of the Senate or any other legislative body.
“Chief Justice William Howard Taft, writing for the Court, noted that the Constitution does mention the appointment of officials, but is silent on their dismissal. An examination of the notes of the Constitutional Convention, however, showed that this silence was intentional: the Convention did discuss the dismissal of executive-branch staff, and believed it was implicit in the Constitution that the President did hold the exclusive power to remove his staff, whose existence was an extension of the President’s own authority.
“There’s no way that he would allow him to be employed if he didn’t want him that bad.”
Unfortunately, the GOP(rinos and neverTrumpers) in congress & the senate have a say in that matter... ‘threatening to impeach’. That’s why that rat bastard still has a ‘job’
If/when Trump goes all in and fires that piece of living sh!t, he’s not only putting his job on the line but the survival of America as well. That’s how bad Sessions and the party of bush(GOP) have farked us.
Are you saying we will let them remove our President? Not a whimper .. just let the criminal deep state have it?
After all this.. we give up?
The difference between Sessions and Trump is that Trump has promised at some point to take back the DOJ. Session on the other hand as served notice that he will be recused.
I'll say the second and Sessions is terrified about being outed. He likely was given a look at his FBI file the day he showed up at the DOJ and told to watch his step by the career professionals.
“Republicans in the Senate have said that they will move to impeach Trump if he moves on Sessions.”
Give me a link proving your assertion...
I got into an unfortunate argument-- https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3673296/posts?page=50#50 --with some dickweed coughLostInBayportcough about that and asked him to prove it. he posted links that said no such thing, and essentially called me "Perry Mason" for figuring out that he was an idiot.
I love FR!
This makes no sense. Trump’s relationship with Sessions is not that of political equals, so why even bother to “attack” him publicly? Trump is the executive, and his very image will be forever associated with the exclamation “Your’e fired!” So, what is the deal? Fire the turkey and get on with it! This silly game of public shadow boxing is getting old, and suspicious.
Likewise, he should declassify the 19 FISA docs, and get the information on Halper out! Clearly, we have a situation under the surface that smells; Trump’s biggest obstacle in all of this are Congressional Republican leaders, Ryan and McConnell, and Rino’s like McCain. And what is this about Goodlatte talking about “burning down the Republican Party”? They seemingly have a leash on Trump that prevents a knockout against Mueller and the criminal Obama Deep State, that should have been used already. What is going on, I ask?
I agree with you about “deep state” Sessions. He has always wanted a Gov fat cat job with all the power and perks. The AG of DOJ has serious clout with all the other crooks living in Northern VA.
“As has been repeated out here Ad Nauseam the Republicans in the Senate have said they will side with the Democrats & impeach Trump if he moves on Sessions.”
Same statement to you: Give me a link that proves your assertion. And the execrable Daily Beast doesn’t count.
“Reality check....who the heck would the US Senate ever confirm to replace him? We’d end up with some swamp-thing hack being acting AG.”
The Vacancies Reform Act of 1998.
“The little-known law allows the president to appoint acting heads of departments for up to 210 days when the incumbent resigns or is unable to perform his duties. In the case of the attorney general, there is a caveat: The candidate must be a Senate-confirmed official and cannot be asked to fill the position permanently.”
“In theory, Trump could look outside the Department of Justice for a successor to Sessions. However, his choices would be limited to the 50 or so of his appointees the Senate has so far confirmed.”
All thanks to that southern fried backstabbing rat bastard, Jeff Sessions. If Sessions had any honor, he would fire everyone at the DOJ and commit seppuku.
Yes maybe that’s who I was thinking of.
You’re right. The rinos and neverTrumpers have had Trump’s back since he first threw his hat in the ring. Anyone thinking they might impeach Trump is a loony-toon. /maj sarc

Go look up the fag Lindsey Graham in USA Today, or The Hill on March 20th. Said Trump would be impeached if he removed Trump. Don’t ask me again. It’s common knowledge the GOPe would remove Trump.
