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 wasnt informed of Comeys secret investigation until after I became Attorney General, and the investigation wasnt publicly confirmed by the FBI until weeks after my recusal.
Knowing of the Presidents 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 Comeys 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. Its 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. Im 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. Were Alabama, its just who we are. After all, its our vote, not Washingtons.
Mr. Tuberville is an opportunist who isnt from here. He stopped here for work for a while, and moved on, eventually retiring in Florida. He doesnt 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 dont 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, Alabamas 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
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Which is when my source started posting and my source says he began his investigations then. I know you wouldn't believe my source in a million years, but I do.
When Trump said, "You'd be in jail", he meant it. And he got on it pretty lickety-split, in DC time.
Durham is Trump's STEALTH BOMBER, as my source describes it. Working all that time while everybody was looking at other squirrels, like Huber, Horowitz, and Mueller.
THE PLAN is being conducted with MILITARY PRECISION by some of the greatest military and intelligence minds in America. Of which Donald Trump is one.
You'll get it eventually. And soon.
Of that I have no doubt.
He's saying that Trump was surprised by Session's recusal and that Sessions didn't inform Trump before he actually recused himself.
Fair point, if true. But its a whole different criticism than the one being addressed in the letter, and therefore a strawman.
The question is WHY he recused himself.
Whatever it means, seniority on a web site has no bearing on the truth of the words typed.
If, as he claims, he did not know of Comey’s investigation until after a few weeks...I am sorry, at the next SECOND...he should have resigned.
He should have given President Trump the opportunity to have a WORKING ATTORNEY GENERAL.
The President of the United States was without an Attorney General at a crucial time. That is unforgivable, in my opinion.
Sorry dude.
On FR seniority deserves extra consideration .
Sbould be that way in all media. But it would limit their obecience to marketreers
Consideration in a social sense, sure.
But why consideration in the judgement of a man's words or the truth of them?
An overabundance of that attitude creates an insular community and discourages the addition of fresh blood, which can cause the death of the community (and fewer donations).
Maybe people should consider that.
I have considerable seniority, for example, and I don't weigh it any more against somebody that signed up yesterday when it comes to their argument. Unless they are obvious plants from the enemy.
So, if you're saying it can be a trust issue, then yes, I see your point. Just lets not make it a truth issue.
Judge the argument on its merits, not on the seniority of its maker.
Senority here shows s substance beyond tempral limtits
Just hoe it is.
Whatever that means. Can you please explain your above statement? I'd like to understand what you mean.
Are you saying that somehow, the passage of time makes a man wiser, more intelligent, or knowledgable than somebody who signed up last week?
Seniority in life counts for something, and we must respect our elders for the simple fact that they are our elders. If that's what you're talking about, then I'm on your side. But this isn't life. This is the marketplace of ideas. Also, saying with authority and backed by seniority that something is 'just how it is' does not make it so.
And that for sure, is the way it is. I do know that much.
Emancipate Yourself From Mental Slavery
Hey Jeffey boy, F-you pal.
FR has seen many purges.
Surviving is a result of truthfulness and humility
I like to recognize that.
It’s not like other places,
That's a mighty bold statement.
GUTLESS??? A little girl has more guts than that skittish little girly man.
“”Good fortune offered this nation an unusual chance at ideal nation-forming and...some honorable leaders seized that chance,” writes William Lee Miller in The Business of May Next, and none among the founders made more of the opportunity than did James Madison, subject of this engaging work. Madison is depicted during the critical years between 178 and 1791, when he was so active in articulating the governmental aims of the fledgling nation that he sometimes found himself in official dialogue with himself. More than simply a historical and biographical account, the book traces Madison’s political and theoretical development as a means of illuminating its larger theme, the moral and intellectual underpinnings of the American nation.”
“Business of May Next”
you would be well served to read it.
You’re at that point IMO.
Should be at your library.
Okay, whats up with Durham? Happy now?
And you're about to find out about Durham. I predict you'll be happy too.
Do you think I don't understand about the founding of America?
Another mighty bold statement.
My library?
I'm a Kindle man.
Take it as you wish, but it’s meant complimentary.
Madison’s views would be wasted on many.
