I think it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Obama democrats are going to regret having elevated the Sessions Russians issue to that rhetorical crescendo. If this was bush he would ‘for the good of the country’ let them off the hook and thus being made aware of their vulnerability would cover that avenue and attack from a different tack. But this is not bush. This is Donald J Trump and I expect him to come out with a long knife and gut them like a fish.
That’s what time will tell.
I kinda agree. The Obama team went at this with the idea that GOP behavior would occur and that’s what they expected out of Trump.
The thing is...he’s not real GOP-like in behavior.
If I were any of the legal minds involved in the episode from the Obama team...I might start to worry that they might approach my state’s legal establishment and suggest that I lose my license to practice law.
From the Senate prospective...if they had targeted Senator Sessions prior to the election, that means that various other Senators might also be on some ‘watch-list’, and they will want to dig into this and put everything on the table. A truth-commission will make this a major pain for the 2018 mid-term elections.
Samurai_Jack, your observation in re Bush letting them off the hook is spot on. Trump doesn’t play that way.
I have no doubt that Trump is diligent about keeping the long-term best interests of the nation at the front of his planning and his agenda.
It may be that he is willing, also then, to push this whole matter to a clean legal conclusion.
In medicine, there are often instances where the short term impact of the treatment is horribly debilitating; cancer comes to mind, first. Chemo therapy and drastic surgical interventions are not uncommon, as we know.
Same may be the case here. In order to ferret out the truly cancerous deep state, and restore the good health of the nation, the short term ‘treatment’ may have to be radical, bruising, and (for some) painful.
We need to stand firm with Trump, and pull this nation back from the brink of the pending coup by the leftists.
