Trump says arrest of Senate staffer in leak probe 'could be a terrific thing'
Washington Examiner ^ | June 8, 2018

President Trump said Friday that the arrest of a Senate Intelligence Committee staffer who is accused of lying to the FBI about leaking to the media "could be a terrific thing."

Trump, who routinely denounces leaks, said he still is learning details about James Wolfe, the former Senate intelligence Committee security director who was charged with making false statements about his links to four journalists.

"It's very interesting they caught a leaker in a very important — it's a very important leaker. So it's very interesting," Trump said on the South Lawn of the White House. "I'm getting information on it now. It happened last night. It could be a terrific thing."

Here is what you said:

‘Because we know what Trump and Sessions discuss behind closed doors.’

Respectfully, no we don’t. One thing we know for a fact, however: Mueller is investigating Trump for obstruction for (allegedly) ***thinking*** about firing Sessions.

Let that sink in.

But Schumer says it’s troubling. What am I to think?

They apparently thought House of Cards was a guidebook.

Expect Congressional suicides in the next 60 days, if this trend is related to that one.

Schumer had hysterics over the possibility of Sessions losing his job. What am I to think.

Duh, I was being sarcastic. Again, keep listening to the liberal media.

Awan has been arrested.
Wolfe has been arrested.
McCabe wants a deal.
Comey admitted leaking classified intelligence on national TV.
Podesta brothers are on deck.
Page/Strzok are clearly in jeopardy of being arrested, too.
Brennan lied to Congress.
Clapper lied to Congress.
Sid Blumenthal had classified intelligence on his civilian laptop.
McAuliffe funded McCabe’s wife.

Lots of dots. The lines to be connected through those dots will look a lot like prison stripes.

No deals from Trump. Debbie tried. The next week should be quite entertaining.

Taking the water off the table.

Yeah. That was awesome. Don’t know if you caught his presser on the lawn today - masterful. It’s all I can say.

Guy knows exactly what cards he’s holding and the level of physical danger he’s in and its clear he has it all locked down.

“We’ll do a deal, and if we don’t we actually come out ahead, and after we’ll love each other again.”

So blessed he won.

Trump has been making signals since he’s been in the WH, but some even around here are so conditioned to listen to the media, that it flies over their heads. Oh, he hates Sessions because Trump for sure wants the liberal media to know that. Duh.

Interesting. First you say you meant the opposite of what you said. Then you classified facts as “liberal media.”

What’s wrong with this picture?

Trump would have fired Sessions - full stop.

Sessions is fastidious. He’s going to make sure when the trap closes that the people in the trap are toast.

You listed three facts and a boatload of conjecture. This speaks to one of your facts:

‘REPORT: Sessions is REFUSING to Press Charges in the Awan Hacking Scandal’

We know the democrats and the liberal media will look for any loopholes. They are already trying with that Senate staffer Wolfe and that reporter.

Hence Sessions recusal, and the kabuki that Trump and Sessions play about Sessions being replaced. It’s ropadope. Trump has no intention of firing Sessions.
