No, he should NOT get rid of Sessions. I’m hoping someone will talk Sessions into releasing the cost to date to the taxpayer of the Special Council. If anything could put totally legal pressure on that group it would be letting the people know what it costs

Trump’s hiring overtures to the rinos in the kabuki party was repaid with treachery.

It’s time to purge them all with extreme prejudice.

I disagree. The media portrayed an image of Trump and they completely hide anything that went against that image. At the high level, they knew exactly what they were doing.

Wait for the August recess, Fire Sessions, appoint a Pit Bull, and let loose the Pit of War.

>>><<<

Good idea. A real bad ass could do the job. Recess appointments last for a long time.

“proof of misconduct”

Proof of a crime against the laws of the USA should be the standard.

Some people are of the view that Trump people shouldn’t have met the Russian lawyer.

I think that it was appropriate, because the “Russian government official” might have wanted Trump-paid legal counsel and funds to live in the US.

The Clintons have a way of getting foreign money for the Clinton Foundation from foreigners that they claim is legal.

The “Russian government official” wouldn’t have wanted to give up a comfortable job and family life to reveal Clinton activity that might not have actually violated US law.

Since the Clintons are lawyers who should be expected to behave in a lawful fashion, the Russian lawyer “government official” might have wanted confirmation from Trump-paid legal experts that possible Clinton/Russian activity was actually illegal.

Of course, any “Russian government official” divulging Russian government misconduct and purchase of an American’s loyalty would be working not for the Russian government, but against it.

One might put adjectives like insubordinate, unauthorized or turncoat before “Russian government official”.

Sessions could be the undoing of Trump. Most of Trump’s trouble could be traced back to appointing Sessions as AG and, to a lesser extent, retaining Comey as FBI director.

Totally concur.I still don't think it's too late to make things right but valuable time has been wasted. One of the goals of the perpetrators of the Clinton/Obama/Soros coup and Never Trump Retards is to waste as much time as possible.

No US government official should forego actually useful work to go on a wild goose chase.

Sessions was perfectly right in recusing himself from this “Russian” rubbish.

Trump should apologize to Sessions.

Canada Free Press has uncloseable pop-ups. Won’t go there.

If you click on the little x, the pop-up stays, and new tabs open. Feh!

And although he was inherited, you could consider Comey in that mix too. I had high hopes for Trump and most have not yet materialized. I didn’t expect the world from him, but I expected better. I think too many folks around here are too eager to make excuses for him and brush off his antics as being “crazy like a fox”. To me, he’s a thin-skinned, ill tempered, narcissist who has shown himself to be anything but a great judge of talent. I hope I’m wrong. But as you have correctly stated, it’s been all of 6 months.

David Clarke doesn’t want a job with the Admin. He already withdrew his name

Jeff Sessions is without a doubt the most honest and ethical politician swimming in the current DC swamp. He is so honest that he actually abides by the laws of his profession.

Jeff Sessions recused himself because he is following the dictates of CFR 45.2 which states that DOJ employees may not:

“participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution, or who would be directly affected by the outcome.”

Sessions had no idea that Russia would become a media witch hunt after the election or he probably wouldn’t have accepted the attorney general position.

What I gather is that Trump would rather have Sessions take the heat and contain the investigation - resulting in even more intense media scrutiny - instead of Trump taking the bull by the horns and firing Mueller and really cleaning the swamp.

Trump shouldn’t make Sessions the scapegoat. He should start firing people. In fact,under CFR 45.2, Mueller and Comey should have recused themselves, but, unlike Sessions, they have no principles other than loyalty to the deep state.

“David Clarke doesn’t want a job with the Admin”

You mean the left, corrupt state, rinos & neverTrumpers don’t want Clarke to have a job with the administration.

> I had high hopes for Trump and most have not yet materialized. <

I must agree with that.

Back in the ‘90s there was a magazine that regularly carried articles by Trump (Forbes?). I read those articles while in my dentist’s waiting room. Trump’s articles were about economics, and I was impressed, very impressed.

Then Trump ran for president. Again, I was impressed by what he had to say.

Something is off now. I expected Trump to run a wild, loose campaign in the primaries, and that’s just what he did. That strategy is probably got him the nomination. Good for him.

But now it seems as if he’s running a wild, loose presidency. There was no pivot to a more settled, dignified approach. That bothers me.

However, I’m still optimistic for two reasons.

1. Trump is not stupid. He will learn, and hopefully course-correct.
2. Trump is not Hillary. The worse things Trump could possibly do would be better than anything Hillary would do. Trump beat Hillary. He’s in the Oval Office, not her.

Do you f..ing morons realize that 96% of the corrupt and illegitimate federal gubbermint voted for that treasonous, felonious, murdering harpy? Including most of the so called republicans?

One man against a 4 trillion dollar stasi state. It’s a miracle he’s still in the fight.

Pull till ya hear a pop.
