President Trump is talking to Senator Ted Cruz and others about what they would do differently as Attorney General, should Jeff Sessions resign, as reports indicate.

White House sources also report President Trump was truthful when he made comments expressing buyer’s remorse over appointing Jeff Sessions to the role. Trump staffers believe Sessions, Donald Trump Jr, and Rohrabacher aide Paul Behrends were unfairly scapegoated due to the left-wing Russia narrative.

In addition, a replacement for special prosecutor Bob Mueller is being acitvely discussed as the President weighs the decision to fire the Rosenstein-appointed prosecutor. Many within the Trump camp see Mueller as acting in bad faith with the investigation due to partisanship, and are urging the appointment of a truly independent alternative.

Facing criticism as a political witch hunt by many, Bob Mueller has hired a who’s who of liberal activists as his team of prosecuting attorneys. Research on Muller’s prosecutors is being conducted for the administration by Chuck Johnson’s team. Finally, top Trump donors are funding their own research operation independent of the White House in order to push back against the media’s fake Russia narrative conspiracy theory.

“Feeding Mika and Joe their daily diet of anti-Trump gossip seems to be an assignment dedicated to someone.”

The rumor here (and elsewhere) was that Kushner was the perp.

Let’s not rehash last year’s campaign, eh? It’s over and done with.

If you want to discuss who can be ‘trusted’ on immigration, look no further than Tom Tancredo.

Why is he not part of this administration (other than because Karl Rove hates his guts)? TC should be front and center.

I'm not sure throwing Sessions under the bus is a good idea. In fact, I think it's a bad idea. The base likes him.

I don't know. I did think that he would be good at first but so far he has shown some pretty poor judgment in a lot of areas. He is looking a bit like a swamp creature to me now.

I hope Sessions does resign, here we are now coming on to August and STILL Hillary is waltzing around scot free. Excuse me, but is Sessions AG of the USA or not? So why isn’t he enforcing the law? Why is he allowing someone to be above the law? That bugs me more than anything. I grew up in New York city and know so many people whose lives were destroyed by criminal acts such as getting involved in drugs or stealing, and rightfully so, but at the same time when you have someone like this Hillary still walking around free what does that tell them? It tells them that their convictions were not based on justice but on who they are which is not a high level Democrap. To hell if people protest her indictment, we MUST have equal justice for ALL or there is no justice!

10000% Agree! If he won’t do his job, he needs to GTH out.

The man has dangerous judgement and no street-wise common sense. His stupidity and naivety left our President vulnerable to impeachment. He MUST go NOW.

With each passing day I despise him more for what he did to our President, and his continuing stubbornness to rectify his horrendous mistake in judgement.

Plus another thing: Hillary is behind a great deal of these attacks against Trump. SHE is the one who started the Russia collusion hoax, SHE is the one getting her cronies in Congress and the media to constantly bash him. It’s never going to end until she is finally where she belongs: Behind bars doing LIFE.

And don’t forget: Former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich is doing 14 years in prison for merely conspiring a pay for play scheme while Hillary has actually done it hundreds of times!! That on top of the 110 violations of the espionage act, each count a 10 year prison sentence which means she would be facing 1,100 years in prison, 110 felonies in which gross negligence is the only requirement for a conviction. This woman should be doing life without the possibility of parole but instead she’s getting standing ovations.

It’s stunning. Remember shortly after being elected, DJT said of HRC, “She’s a good person” or some such thing. WHY? Why in the world did he go from promising us he would appoint a special prosecutor to saying in essence “forget about it”?

Remember how it was reported that DJT met privately with WJC in May 2015, one month before declaring his candidacy in June 2015? I’ve always wondered about that.

Sometimes I get the feeling that there is a whole lot more to this than we know or could guess.

I can’t really imagine Jarret leaking, but because they never got the conservative agenda and are mind numbed Democrats, you gotta look at the team around Ivanka and Jarret, and that Dina Powell person.

The article never said Cruz wanted to be AG or that Trump would ask him. All it said is that Trump asked him what he would do differently as AG...that did not mean Trump wants him as AG. Trump was asking for advice.

Cruz will not send the illegals back. Keep him in advisory role. Otherwise his closet will open up and out will fall the skeletons .....if we get a new AG then make sure he does not recluse himself FROM ANYTHING NO MATTER WHAT.

I wouldn’t mind the Gov of Texas, now there is a Right Wing American.

I don’t see Cruz being a hound dog on illegal immigrants the say Sessions is showing to be.

yep

In the primaries he had to be pushed to say anything against the illegals.

Yes, the child obtains us citizenship. Naturally, if born outside the borders of the soverign territory, you have to submit the paperwork. That's a given.

Again, which country forbids (prevents) a parent from passing citizenship to their child at birth?

“Again, which country forbids (prevents) a parent from passing citizenship to their child at birth?”

Again, the USA. If you are a US Citizen and don’t meet the following: “The U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States for at least 5 years, including at least 2 years after 14 years of age” You child can be denied US Citizenship.

Furthermore the US denied my daughter US Citizenship until I proved I was the father, even though she was born in “Wedlock”. The blood test is only specified for “out of wedlock”.

https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartH-Chapter3.html

“2. Denial of Application

If an officer denies the Certificate of Citizenship application, the officer must notify the applicant in writing of the reasons for denial and include information on the right to appeal in the notice. [21] An applicant may file an appeal within 30 calendar days after service of the decision (33 days if the decision was mailed).”
