Unpopular here, but I agree with Levin. When one compares the character of Sessions with that of Trump, I choose Sessions. It takes more than character to be a great President, but character does count. I think that too many of President Trump’s antics are counterproductive.

Not popular here, I know, but I stand with Jeff.

I get that you stand with Jeff. But help me out here...where exactly does “Jeff” stand? And why does “Jeff” not appoint his own Special Counsel to investigate the Clinton Foundation and the Comey leaks???

His recused himself from the Russia fiasco...not the Clinton Crimes.

So you, like Levin, believe Sessions is “pursuing” Trump’s agenda?

You're asking for trouble, FRiend, but you probably knew that. I wish you well. Trump's inability to control himself, and act like the POTUS, will be the downfall of his Administration. Why would any competent person want to work for a man who places loyalty to the "boss" over the Constitution?

The oath of office I took was to the Constitution, not a man or a woman.

And I stand with Trump.

Sessions should have told Trump before his confirmation he was going to recuse himself. If one of my employees had done something like that to me, I would have fired them immediately. And I did. Amazing how all of a sudden my employees accepted my way of thinking.

Not unpopular. The rest of us don't want to argue about style. Levin disagrees on style, but Levin, Sessions and Trump all agree on substance which is natural law and the rule of law. Everything else, especially Trump's style, is trivial in comparison.

Name one high profile arrest to a series of recent and past crimes by Democrats that facilitated and I will agree.

You had an ex-FBI Director leak classified material to the New York Times through a Professor (he walking free with a eight figure book deal).

You had ex-DNC chair return smashed laptops to the FBI that are part of espionage spy ring (did not bat an eye).

You had 60,000 emails, several classified on a convicted perverts laptop (let bygones be bygones).

You had the Clinton foundation receive 150,000,000 dollars from enemies the state (old news).

There have been more than 20 times the number of classified leaks in Trumps first six months (one low level leaker punished, Rice walks free).

This list could go on forever, and not one, not one, high profile arrest? He has turned his back on all Crimes relating to Democrats, I call that betrayal.

What no one knows is the “rest of the story”.

Including me.

But consider this scenario:

“Jeff, I know you are a strong and ethical man, and I am going to have to put you out there all by yourself for a while”.

“Mr. President, you do what you have to do. I can take it”.


Who knows? Certainly no one on FR.

Breitbart was critical of Trump over this and the commentators are defending Sessions mostly. Especially since after being inaugurated trump said he would not prosecute Hillary and then Kelly Anne Conway has come out today and said Trump was just speculating. Obviously, Breitbart is no fan of possible replacement Guliani.

“Unpopular here, but I agree with Levin.”

It is good to see at least some Freepers have not traded an ability to reason for a front row in some politician’s fan club - regardless how great that guy has been post-election in several respects.

Trump makes mistakes, some really bad ones.

Sessions makes mistakes, at least one really bad one.

Trump looks like a ninny with his behavior. He’s the damn boss. Just go ahead and fire whoever you need to in order to pursue whatever your agenda is today.

Just be a dang man about it. Quit whining to twit world about it. Admit Jeff is a great guy and an unusually loyal party mate. We already understand and are sympathetic to Trump’s problem with the AG recusing himself too easily and too early. He was trying to be honest, but it was the wrong thing to do - especially if he could read the future as well as folks here.

I see absolutely no need for Trump to act like a snowflake and try to make good Republicans sound bad.

And, yes, that goes double for faux-Freedom-lovers and their attitude about the fine man Mark Levin.

Some here are not so different from progressives on campus - advising Levin to shut up. When all Mark does is point to extremely obvious problems a man of reason, such as himself, can find with a Prez who stirs up the “Lock her up!” masses during the race, immediately flip-flops on that after winning, then six months later trash-talks his own fine man of an AG for supporting Trump’s fatal flop on the “crooked-Hillary” issue.

For Freepers like you, still clear-headed, still able to reason through all the winning and whining, consider this...

Who pulled the bigger opening drive boner here, really?

Jeff Sessions. Who was just trying to be honest and was also (in my opinion) naive about how things should proceed in a non-scandal with nothing to find ?

Or Trump. Who flopped over and put the brakes on the investigation of what EVERYBODY knows is real, nasty, long-term, swap-dweller corruption ?

Trump trashed several great people and institutions dear to me and I voted against him in the primary. And then voted for him in the general - the only mature option at that point. Despite him being a jerk in the primary, I can still support most of his agenda, to the extent anyone knows what that might be day to day.

I wish others could let go of their immature anger against any conservative or Republican who did not endorse Trump in the primaries.

Pettiness is blinding.

And rage-based purification of one’s environment is for progressive snowflakes.

Winning is false and temporal when absent from reason.
