President Trump is talking to Senator Ted Cruz and others about what they would do differently as Attorney General, should Jeff Sessions resign, as reports indicate.
White House sources also report President Trump was truthful when he made comments expressing buyer’s remorse over appointing Jeff Sessions to the role. Trump staffers believe Sessions, Donald Trump Jr, and Rohrabacher aide Paul Behrends were unfairly scapegoated due to the left-wing Russia narrative.
In addition, a replacement for special prosecutor Bob Mueller is being acitvely discussed as the President weighs the decision to fire the Rosenstein-appointed prosecutor. Many within the Trump camp see Mueller as acting in bad faith with the investigation due to partisanship, and are urging the appointment of a truly independent alternative.
Facing criticism as a political witch hunt by many, Bob Mueller has hired a who’s who of liberal activists as his team of prosecuting attorneys. Research on Muller’s prosecutors is being conducted for the administration by Chuck Johnson’s team. Finally, top Trump donors are funding their own research operation independent of the White House in order to push back against the media’s fake Russia narrative conspiracy theory.
I don’t have a bit of a problem with this. Actually, I like it!
Let the RAT bodies hit the flo’.
It seems that Ted Cruz is playing an ever increasing role in the Trump administration, although not in an official capacity.
I say that is a good thing.
I understand why Session recused himself even though it was a mistake - he saw how Flynn got kicked to the curb and probably thought he was next.
Wait, disregard what I wrote - I just saw who the author (Jack Probiotic) was.
However, I believe he would be a great AG to follow the Constitution.
Jeffy has proven himself to be old school, not a new wave fighter.
The Donald fired a shot across Sessions bow pretty much saying ,”Do what you are supposed to do or YOU’RE FIRED!”. Luv it.
I’m calling fake news on this because there is no way Cruz would want to become Attorney General. In the first place he has enough enemies in the Senate who would vote against him just to stick it to him. In the second place, he wants to be president one day and leaving a senate seat for a cabinet post is not the way to do that.
If Sessions resigns the recusal goes with him.
He might as well fire Mueller, who will twist himself into pretzels to find a path to Trump’s destruction.
CEO gathers expert opinion from all quarters, then decides.
Should have picked a nasty SOB to start
A bunch of Swamp Leftists might actually stroke out and assume room temperature over this. So it’s a win-win.
So far, most of Trump's "experts" are from the Goldman-Sachs/Council on Foreign Relations pool.
Thank God for Bannon and Conway!
Being a Hoke dad I say “Just Do It!”

Was referring to Cruz not as a possible contender for AG, but as a source of advice as to how to deal with Sessions.
Fake News..
Exactly!
