Trump heightens attacks on Sessions: He's 'scared stiff and missing in action'
The Hill ^ | 08/11/18 | Tal Axelrod

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.

The 3D checkmate move was made when that contemptible stooge Sessions Manchurian Candidated himself into Trump’s inner circle. Before Trump understood how badly he had been played the DS had circled the wagons around its key operative Sessions.

If Trump is saying sessions is ‘scared stiff’ does he mean he is frozen to inaction by fear of political reprisal? I believe he is being blackmailed or his family is being threated with bodily harm. NSA metadata. He may be being forced to stay to provide cover for the deep state. Hillary may have something on sessions. The question looms large. Sessions is not staying to write his name in the history books. So....What do they have on him that he would defy the President, the committees, and 60 million voters?

"My prediction: 1) The Midterms go poorly for us, and we lose just enough seats in the House for the Democrats to take over. 2) The Democrats draw up and pass articles of Impeachment for Donald Trump having gone to Russia to pee on prostitutes. 3) AG Sessions finally breaks silence, calling the charges against Donald Trump “troubling and credible” and calling for the President to “step down to preserve the honor of the Presidency” and to “start healing the nation.” This dickwad is as deep-state as deep-state gets."

That prediction is all too likely and made all the more plausible by the GOP's lackluster campaign run by Ronna Romney. The Dems are beyond the crawling over glass stage. They are willing to burn the country down to win. The Republicans ... not so much.

From Q post 1711 📁 Jul 26 2018 11:44:26 (EST) https://1zwchz1jbsr61f1c4mgf0abl-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Gohmert_Mueller_UNMASKED.pdf📁 What was the point of filing impeachment art if Ryan was going to reject? Known beforehand? Optics. Think logically. Could Sessions publicly challenge [RR] w/o creating a dilemma? What events would immediately transpire if Sessions challenged [RR]? Would it immediately demonstrate that Sessions must be aware of key Mueller facts? Facts (or failure of duty) that he cannot possibly ‘know’ if recused? Facts (a case) he is suppose to be recused from? Think logically. One challenge to [RR] would immediately trigger attacks to remove Sessions given his clear involvement in receiving information re: a case he is fully recused from. Who does Huber [directly] report to? Is it normal [RR] is side-stepped re: Huber CoC? Why is this important? Why did Sessions recuse? Is the LEFT attacking Sessions? What advantage(s) exist based on this setup? POTUS publicly expresses his anger re: his recusal? Do you believe POTUS would allow a complete takeover of his DOJ if nothing was being done behind the scenes to hold people accountable? When POTUS states “the swamp is being drained” do you believe it? When POTUS states “it’s happening” do you believe it? Do you believe POTUS would allow Sessions & [RR] to run HIS DOJ if something wasn’t being done to his liking? LOGICAL THINKING. Clickbait derails logical thought. Think for yourself. Trust yourself. Mueller investigating POTUS’ Tweets for obstruction? You have a front row seat. Enjoy the show. Q

That DOES seem to be part of President Trump’s playbook - keep trolling and tweeting on a daily basis so their irrational hysterical hate-filled rants never stop.
He might be doing that so that they aren’t able to pay attention to other things that he’s doing to defeat them and their sick ideology, or so that the world grows, gradually, to see them for the deranged numb-skulls that they are, or because he simply enjoys insulting them - just as we do.

Most likely it’s “all of the above.”

What makes that comment so hilarious is that Nellie Ohr might be one of the ugliest women ever to set foot in Washington D.C. LMAO.

Reading between the lines on Trump’s tweets the past few days, I can only conclude that earthshaking events are on the horizon.

Or that he’s watched too much Hannity, who raves on and on every day about earthshaking events on the horizon.

11. President Waters declares that May 10 is “National Hate Donald Trump Day.”

12. President Waters, taking a cue from Zimbabwe and South Africa, champions a Constitutional change to strip white land-owners of their land.

13. President Waters declares Caucasians as an “Enemy of the State.”

I doubt I'll ever understand why the hell Trump tapped Sessions to be his AG.

My completely baseless theory is that Sessions was bemused by Trump and thought "here's a guy whose found a new way to sell road apples to the rubes" and figured he'd have fun with it and get on the stage with the MAGA hat. It's not like he'd ever lose his Senate seat, and maybe he'd get the AG job he's coveted if the guy ever won! Ha, yeah, like he would.

But Trump did win and Sessions got his AG job. But by then his smile had faded because it turns out that this Trump guy really did mean all that crap about lowering taxes, rolling back regulations, standing up for America to other nations and even prosecuting elites as if there was equal justice under the law! Why, that's not how it's done! We only talk about that crap, we don't actually do it!

So he was well situated to become a roadblock to Trump. I'm sure some sort of blackmail was employed to make him not only take the job, but to make him a ball-less nonentity while in it.

At least that's my theory.

“Trump is also known to harbor hostility toward Sessions for recusing himself in the investigation.”

So does Gen. Flynn, Paul Manafort, etc.

Sessions is a pathetic joke. Here we are more than 18 months later after the Steele "Dossier" became public and we all knew it was (a) bullshit and; (b) paid for by the Hillary campaign and just NOW the Judiciary Committee is getting around to issuing subpoena's?!

The whole damn' system is a freaking joke.

She got a license so that she could practice her already fluent Russian on short wave. Does the NSA listen in?

After reading a bunch of articles about Jeff Sessions and his mysterious reluctance to get involved with any judicial matters of magnitude, I have to come to the conclusion there’s prolly one of two possibilities:

1. Political heavyweights have dirt on Sessions and he’s being blackmailed.

2. Sessions, with help from Huber out west, has been deconstructing the Deep State’s evil deeds and has prepared numerous indictments which will be served either in the first week of October as an ‘October Surprise’ or in November right after the midterm elections.

Or, I could be full of BS :)

Question: Does President Trump know the reason for Sessions’ reluctance?

Trump would never let his friends & family be harmed by Mueller as they have.

No friends or family of Trump have been harmed by Mueller. The exception would be Flynn, but he is first in line for a pardon. The rest of them? Gates? Papadop? Manafort? Irrelevant in every way.
