I’m a Trump fan, but he needs to stop tweeting stuff like this. If you have an issue with Sessions, he works for you, call him to the Oval for a meeting. All this back and forth does is further the media narrative regarding a “White House in chaos.” If the POTUS is dissatisfied with Sessions, fire him and move on.
You’re fired
I see the potential for the president to abuse his power with the fbi and doj (obama is a perfect example and you can add the IRS and other agencies). But the president and people who work for him need to be able to have private discussions and not forced talk to each other through twitter and other public channels.
We cannot have agencies that do not report to the president - that seems to be what is going on. There is a 4th branch of government that is accountable to nobody if parts of the executive branch are independent and the president cannot directly tell them what to do or even consult with them on issues. The “deep state” is very real if there are executive branch agencies that are not accountable the elected president.
If the heads of these agencies disagree with an order they should resign. If they think the order is illegal, they have the IGs they can report to and they can go to congress if the IGs ignore them. We have “checks and balances” available but congress has given up their oversight authority to a large degree and it’s been replaced with “walls” between parts of the executive branch and those agencies have put up other barriers to prevent oversight and make them an unaccountable 4th branch. So even when congress or the president want to provide oversight they are unable.
Neither did I.
Sessions is dangerous to this country, he needs to go.
If indictments are not handed out after the IG report into the Hillary Email mess is released then yes Sessions needs to go.
The Bleachbit scrubber should be under indictment now. He LIED AFTER he was granted an Immunity deal. So should David Kendall and his band of legal henchmen.
They handled, stored TS and Classified documents in a facility that was not approved for them and they also allowed those without clearance to view them.
Maybe he doesn't want to end up like William Colby, Antonio Scalia, Seth Rich, et al.
The Manchurian Attorney General!
You nailed it.
Any conversation he has with Session could be used to imply that Trump was interfering with Mueller's forever attempt to get something on Trump so the Rats could impeach him if they regain control of Congress.
Sessions seems totally tone deaf to what his boss wants. How disappointing to see what he has done in that job. We had very high hopes for an active DOJ to roll back Obama policies.
Now, he is seeing all the criminality and is giving the DOJ and the FBI a pass because he wants to protect their reputations and ongoing cases that could be compromised if this all gets out into the open.
He is willing to let Pres Trump and family be falsely accused and hounded out of office to protect the government.
Trump obviously wants Sessions to resign so he doesn’t take criticism for firing him.
AG Sessions needs to direct the IG to complete some logical portion of his mega-investigation and move it long to the prosecution stage. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Jeff “America Be Damned” Sessions. Nailed it. No justice, no peace. Alinski Rules.
Sessions & Company are one of the fire walls. Trump is just a speed bump on the road to another Progressives Utopia.
The reason for Twitter is simple, there’s some kind of message that Trump wishes to deliver to create conversation in the media and public in a certain direction.
One of the things in this we must consider is that this was not so much a public message to the A.G. (no A.G. would change direction based on such a comment as this in the public sphere - that’d be humiliating). What we need to consider is that this was a public message directed toward the I.G. (Horowitz).
Trump publicly questioning the independence of Horowitz actually serves to give Horowitz Much Greater credibility in other circles in Washington D.C. So if Horowitz comes out with an investigation that paints the corruption of Democrats and Deep Staters in stark relief, then it becomes much harder for the Democrats and Deep State to dismiss Horowitz as a tool of Trump...which is exactly the tact they will take if a report condemning the corruption comes out. They personalize and demonize the deliverer of the report, it’s their method of isolating and destroying the person (Horowitz in this case), not the report itself.
Trump might actually be giving cover to Horowitz in this case. If Trump publicly condemns Horowitz, the Democrats cannot then agree with Trump later in the face of a report detailing their corruption. This could be Trump preparing the ground and taking the Democrats favorite assault tactic away from them.
This is why JFK made his brother Attorney General.
Sessions needs to be fired ASAP, unless Trump knows something we don’t.
Trump can’t be scared about not getting a new Attorney General confirmed.
Our only hope is a few people in Congress, who need to step up and start leaking....even if it’s illegal.
The longer this goes on the more powerful the government gets by destroying evidence and covering up their crimes.
When Howorwitz comes out with his report and its negative towards the Dems fire Sessions at that time. Reason he as proven he will do nothing in a timely manner.
...As long as I am the attorney general...
Hint, hint!
On both fronts there are things going on behind the scenes, over which we can only speculate.
