Trump Issues Statement On Sessions' Recusal
Zero Hedge ^ | 3-2-1017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 03/02/2017 5:26:49 PM PST by blam

Just released by the Trump:

* Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional. This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win. The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election and now, they have lost their grip on reality. The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total witch hunt!

Anyways, I'm signing off for the night. All this infighting has me tired. :)

Any Special Prosecutor to investigate Russian involvement in our elections will involve The Clinton Global Inititive, Large cash payments to the Clintons and Illary’s approval of the sale of Uranium to the Russians. Don’t forget the FBI has been investigating CGI for well over a year.

How many of Illary’s emails have we not seen from her private account related to shakedowns that are in the Feds hands now???

It will be a Rat briar patch. Maybe, just maybe this is the trap Sessions and Trump are playing...

Judging from what happened today, I’d say Bannon probably took the day off.

Above reproach, above partisan bickering, high on the moral high road in respect for rule of law and it's integrity..

This is agonizing to watch for so many of us because of the previous AG in Bammys regime who were crooked and as partisan as the left wing media.

Well, for all the faults of the day, let us also keep perspective: Sessions is not going anywhere, and next week we will be on to the next scandal, which shall be that Ivanka eats the frosting off of the White House cupcakes every Friday.

I loved the way the Rat kept repeating 17 Agencies had this information. Never figured out what information.

This was because Obama opened up Confidential Information to Agencies outside of the CIA, NSA and FBI one Month before he left Office.

Seven Years and eleven Months the rules were fine with Obama, then Bingo!

Statement could have been better w/out this sentence:

He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional.

His response was accurate. He met with him in his capacity as a Senator, not in his capacity with regards to the campaign. He also had that informal meeting where there were ambassadors at a Heritage event - nothingburger. Trump should have reiterated that point. However, I also feel Sessions could have articulated that point better today as well. They are out for blood. Don't give them ANY openings.

“I don’t like this. Too much playing-into-DemonCrap-narrative.”

Precisely. If it isn’t an issue, then don’t treat it like it is. IOW, don’t dignify their muck raking with any additional response ... and then another, and another.
Yes. This allows them to set the topoi: the narrative.

This is why President Trump barred some of their nastier MSM from briefings and is blowing off their correspondents dinner: why sit there and listen to people who called you a Nazi earlier in the day?
Are they interested in the truth or in seeing justice served? Do, do, d-uuuuh ... they never have been in the past.
They just want to hurt Trump. Period. This is pure politics. The president is still learning how to think like an insane, s***ting politician.

A big mistake may have been President Trump giving in to them on Flynn. They see that as weakness and it spurs them on.

From now on, IMHO, when they pull another red herring out of the muck (after this latest one expires), Spicer should give one short response: “Here’s what you guys and your networks are leaving out, as usual: ______________”. Then insert approp. question, e.g. “Are you folks going to pound your drums for 30 Democrats and McCaskill too? OK, next, the border ....”. And don’t let them take up any more of President Trump’s time!

Yes, playing this game is exactly what that grinning gargoyle Schumer, Nanzi, `Liverlips’ Franken, the `rats et al. want: for President Trump to participate in their narrative.
And this one, as usual, is made up completely out of whole cloth. It could be anything, and next week it will be something similar, some variant on, “There are cossacks under our bed”.
His press secretary should be handling these kind of BS political attacks anyway. It’s beneath the President Trump.

So this guy e-mails his sister-in-law, a nasty yellow dog Democrat, every Friday evening:

“Did you hear what President Trump did this week?”

She replies, “You’ve asked me this same question every week for the months. I don’t want to hear about it. Why do you do this over-and-over!”

And he says, “I just like saying `President Trump’.”

“He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional.”

What I believe Trump is saying here is that during the hearings Sessions should’ve perhaps included mentioning his meetings with the Russian ambassador as part of his duties as Senator, but that the meetings had nothing to do with the campaign, and their were no other contacts with Russian officials. This way Sessions would’ve covered all of his bases. So the term “not intentional” is not suggesting any improper contacts with Russian officials not being disclosed, or any other wrongdoing.

I think not. Only the President selects a Special Prosecutor.

President Trump is right, and Attorney General Sessions is right.
