Of course the dems want to keep Sessions...Sessions isn’t doing anything to their precious Hillary, nor is he protecting Trump from Mueller.
They won’t have enough Dems in the Senate left to block anything once the Awan brother sings.
And the fish is on the line!
It is simple, just don’t let the majority Party call a recess.
How about...don’t adjourn for vacation. Stay in DC and work through vacation if you want to keep Sessions so badly.
The only person who can prevent a Senate recess is the Speaker of the House. According to the Constitution, neither house may recess for more than 3 days without the consent of the other. Here’s hoping DJT has a full plate of recess appointments already to go.
Trump so far inside their heads he’s a cyborg.
It’s something of a race against time now for the Dems and the Never Trumpers.
Right now it does not appear the Special Counsel actually has evidence of crime by, or even evidence upon which to legitimately predicate a criminal investigation of, the president. It’s just a fishing expedition.
If Sessions resigns and Trump appoints, say, Ted Cruz as Attorney General, Cruz could immediately dismiss the Special Counsel and bring the investigation back into the DOJ itself. Cruz does not have the conflict of interest Sessions claimed he had - he was not a part of the Trump campaign. So Cruz takes back oversight from Rosenstein and simply terminates the Special Counsel.
However, if the Special Counsel can claim that he was uncovering crimes by the president when he was terminated, then he can testify to that effect before Congress, and Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell would support an impeachment effort against Trump for obstruction of justice. The crimes don’t have to be conspiracy with Russia to hack Podesta’s emails, it could be irregularities in obtaining a Trump casino license, a bribe paid to a sheik in Abu Dhabi, withholding information from the IRS in the course of an audit, or really anything at all in Trump’s businesses.
Ultimately, this is not about President Trump himself or Vladimir Putin or John Podesta’s emails.
It is about immigration and trade.
The globalist interests that are represented by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell very much want cheap foreign labor. They want to bring the labor into the US to lower wages and benefits, and they want to use that labor in locations in other countries and bring their product into the US.
The costs of replaced American workers are not borne by the globalists, but are shifted onto the government and to society at large.
It is all financed by ever-increasing massive debt, both at government and by consumers. They need massive consumer debt in order to support a final last binge of spending. They need massive government debt in order to cover the costs of Americans (health care, food stamps, housing, disability, etc) who are downsized by the globalization money play.
President Pence will be business as usual with NAFTA, TPP, comprehensive immigration reform, etc. and the threat to the power of the globalists will subside.
Hahah, Sessions can now do no wrong....hahahah...pull the trigger on DACA a d everything else the Dems are afraid of...hahahahah
Speaks volumes about how much they fear Sessions.
They're too damn busy constantly trying to thwart Trump and his efforts to serve the people.
My thought: Mueller needs a bit more time to start indicting most of Trump’s team, and Sessions is recused from firing him.
Session’s replacement will not be hampered by that...hence the Democrats simply cannot permit Sessions to be replaced, by any means - until it’s too late.
Remember when the Democrats all tried to block Sessions because he was a racist white supremacist? Why would they ever want a racist white supremacist to stay in? Could it be they were lying to prevent his confirmation?
How can Durbin or any Dim givva sh!t about this?
They supposedly hate Sessions and everything he stands for. They said he was going to bring back Jim Crow and suppress voting. He would break up hard-working “immigrant” families.
This has crossed the threshold of bizarre, into laughable.
NLRB v Canning ripe for revisit...
Republicans would have to agree.
Don’t be too quick to believe they won’t.
When the Senate Democrats and the media are your allies, then people should be able to discern the case of the hapless Jeff Sessions with greater clarity.
I remember that just months ago, many Democrats were saying Sessions was a racist and a KKK supporter. That was all rubbish, of course. Sessions is a decent man. But he has to go.
