Sessions appointed Durham too, which is something you dopes are unaware of.
Durham's been on the case since the day after a certain unnamed letter began posting on the internet. Let that sink in.

As the world knows, the President disagreed with me on recusal, but I did what the law required me to do. I was a central figure in the campaign and was also a subject of and witness in the investigation and could obviously not legally be involved in investigating myself. If I had ignored and broken the law, the Democrats would have used that to severely damage the President.
Some have asked, why take the job as Attorney General if I knew I would have to recuse myself from the investigation? I knew no such thing. I wasn’t informed of Comey’s secret investigation until after I became Attorney General, and the investigation wasn’t publicly confirmed by the FBI until weeks after my recusal.
Knowing of the President’s disagreement with my decision, I tendered my resignation in writing the morning after Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel. But President Trump chose not to accept it, and he asked me to continue to serve as his Attorney General and to help him “Make America Great Again.”
The investigation was a disruptive and prolonged fiasco for America and especially for President Trump, and a massive waste of money chasing the deepstate myth of Russian collusion. Recently disclosed documents also reveal the extent of former FBI Director James Comey’s underhanded efforts to undermine our President.
One thing you may not know is that I advised from the beginning of the administration that Comey should be removed and the FBI given a fresh start. I concluded that Comey was driven by ego, lacked self-discipline, and lacked the judgement necessary to lead an agency as critical as the FBI, as was evidenced by the completely improper way he declined to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
The end result of the Mueller investigation is that the President (and I) were fully exonerated, so much so that the subsequent Ukraine impeachment witch hunt did not even mention the phony Russian collusion idea.
My principles, like my faith, are immovable and non-negotiable. I believe it is always right to do the right thing. My opponent, Tommy Tuberville, calls that weakness, which reveals his true lack of integrity.
rue strength and courage are found in the determination to do the right thing, even when you know the consequences may be painful. You can always count on me to do my best to do the right thing, for you, for the state of Alabama, and for the United States of America. I will never go wobbly on you.
I believe President Trump is a great President who is steadily making progress for America, despite relentless opposition. My support for his agenda is not about me, or even about him. It’s about doing the right thing for the country I so love. I have given my entire life to the support of our conservative ideals and to stopping the radical left from their attempts to redefine, and thereby destroy, America. I always have, I always will.
I endorsed President Trump because he had the incredible strength of will and the guts to stand up for the right things, for ending illegal immigration, for protecting American workers, and for stopping endless wars. I’m glad I did.
After the President dismissed me as Attorney General, I did not say a cross word about him, as I thought that would be dishonorable.
The great people of Alabama support the President enthusiastically, and we also make our own decisions on who to send to the US Senate.
This just means we are strong, and no one tells us what to do or how to vote. We’re Alabama, it’s just who we are. After all, it’s our vote, not Washington’s.
Mr. Tuberville is an opportunist who isn’t from here. He stopped here for work for a while, and moved on, eventually retiring in Florida. He doesn’t know the first thing about Alabama. He says the President is wrong on China, says we must import foreign workers to take American jobs, and up until a few months ago, he said he favors amnesty for illegal immigrants. If you don’t like his position on an issue, just wait a few weeks and he will change it. His house is built on sand.
Alabamians have long resisted pressure from people in Washington telling them how to vote. In fact, Alabama’s motto is – “We Dare Defend Our Rights.”
The folks in Washington have been wrong about Alabama before, every time. We make our own decisions.
We will vote overwhelmingly to give President Trump a second term, and we will choose who we send to the Senate. The people of Alabama do not have to choose between voting for the President and voting for me, they can do both.
When I return to the Senate, I look forward to helping the President build the wall, protect American workers, and fundamentally reset our relationship with Communist China.
Respectfully,
Jeff Sessions
You can tell Freepers don’t read the article ..lol
Sessions appointed Durham too, which is something you dopes are unaware of.
Durham's been on the case since the day after a certain unnamed letter began posting on the internet. Let that sink in.
“...why you didn’t tell President Trump beforehand, that you were going to recuse yourself”
I really think that was answered.
Okay...show me where it is in the letter please. I'm asking nicely.
Read the article@?
What sacrilege!
“Excerpt: “Some have asked, why take the job as Attorney General if I knew I would have to recuse myself from the investigation? I knew no such thing. I wasn’t informed of Comey’s secret investigation until after I became Attorney General, and the investigation wasn’t publicly confirmed by the FBI until weeks after my recusal. “ “
Scroll to the top of the thread. Please stop being dumb.
Or refer to the Mueller report if you must.
(excerpts)
WASHINGTON — Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions carried a letter of resignation with him every time he went to the White House for nearly a year, according to testimony revealed in the special counsel report released Thursday.
*snip*
Later that week in July of 2017, Priebus said Trump decided against asking for Sessions' resignation, but engaged in a series of tweets referring to the attorney general as "beleaguered."
*snip*
The repeated attacks on Sessions, coupled with increasing pressures about the future of his tenure at the Justice Department, prompted the attorney general to craft a letter of resignation.
"According to Hunt, in light of the president's frequent public attacks, Sessions prepared another resignation letter and for the rest of the year carried it with him in his pocket every time he went to the White House," the report reads.
Can you figure that out? Sessions offered his resignation, just like he says, which was not accepted. Yet Trump continued to bash him so he drafted ANOTHER resignation letter which he carried to the White House every time he went.
Also, why would a man lie about offering his resignation when it's so easily denied by Trump if not true?
#LogicalThinking.
Bash Sessions and the situation as you understand it, but make sure you understand it first.
And think.
What name calling? He asked a simple question. Here's the quote in question.
Wonder how stupid an honest person would have to be to not see that.
Please direct me to where he 'name called' you or anybody else. By the way, do you think he was calling you stupid or dishonest? Or both?
You're a bit disrespectful of a fellow Freeper who has been here a while longer than you. I made a statement that didn't require you to be obnoxious.
What about your so called seniority demands more respect than any other poster? I've always wondered about that. Maybe you can explain it to me. Thanks.
I anxiously await your reply.
He appointed Durham to be U.S. Attorney in Connecticut in October of 2017. Is that what you are talking about?
Uh...that’s doesn’t answer the question I asked. There’s nothing in it about why he chose not to tell President Trump before he announced it publicly. Sorry, I just don’t see anything of that nature in that clip.
Sessions: "Knowing of the President’s disagreement with my decision, I tendered my resignation in writing the morning after Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel."
I'll name the source of the above quote. Jeff Sessions. Scroll to the top of this thread for more information.
So, not only do you not acknowledge what Sessions himself just said, but you prove the case against you further by citing the reportage at the time, despite the reporter of your piece being a CIA derp.
Either way, Sessions himself has confirmed the veracity of the 'rumor' out of his own mouth.
Seek another line of argument. You lost this one, and by your own hand.
Doh.
90% don’t read article before piping off
“why he chose not to tell President Trump before he announced …”
Frankly, I don’t ‘get’ that.
Great standard of proof there, councilor.
Nothing in your post addresses the fact that he was unaware that his own subordinate was officially investigating him and that he then became aware once ensconced in the office. Stop leaving that out of the equation.
Remember the Scout's oath.
Right?
Its like logic, reason, and facts have no effect on them.
Maybe they're from planet Krypton.
Seniority has it’s recogtion in a sane medis.
We all know WHY he was under bogus investigation. That's not the issue. The issue is that he WAS UNDER FBI INVESTIGATION.
You really do need to understand that basic fact before you continue to open your yap.
You're starting to deserve a little name calling.
We have reached common ground.
Yay.
The better question is, what's up with his Mr. Durham?
Ask yourself that one. Update yourself.
Yes they did and yes it did.
And all the meantime Durham was at work and Trump was setting the table for true justice. Removing and inserting people in the DOJ, FBI, CIA, DNI, and the Judiciary, amongst others.
The fruits of which are being laid upon the table as we speak. So you rubes can travel back in time and criticize the how of how we got here all day long if you want.
Just try to not distract your know-it-all asses from enjoying the bounty before you and yet to come.
And take that frown and turn it upside down, while you're at it.
