Mo Brooks would leave Senate race to reinstate Sessions
The Hill / MSN ^ | July 26, 2017

Posted on 07/26/2017 4:36:10 PM PDT by SMGFan

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) is offering to withdraw from Alabama's special Senate election to make way for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to take the Republican nomination for his former seat - if the other GOP contenders vow to do the same.

Brooks's proposition comes as President Trump ratchets up criticism of his attorney general, signaling a potential push by the White House to oust Sessions from the Justice Department.

Gracious offer

I am still really confused about what is happening here.

Things need to move much faster. Fire everyone at the state department. Start building the wall. Start tax reform. Repeal Obamacare. Forget 'replace' - give it back to the free market

I think basically Pres. Trump wants the A.G. to get his priorities straight, and use his authority to stop the obstructions of the left, the Democrats, and the establishment are perpetrating on his administration to prevent him from keeping his promises.

I’d say that isn’t much to ask of the A.G.

What’s happening here is the left is taking this CW hot as we speak as they obviously don’t fear no silly rule of law.

Well, the simplest thing to do would be for the guy who was appointed to resign so Sessions could be appointed to his own seat. That would work. But gotta get rid of Rosenstein first.

I agree. Gracious offer.

And I too am not certain as to what is really going on here.

I do not think Sessions will be given the GOP nomination. But I know nothing.

Mo Brooks is one of the good ones.
So is Jeff Sessions and I hope he stays as AG.

Nope...something else is cooking.

Sessions is a diversion and he’s in on whatever it is.

Maybe the shoe is about to drop on Lynch, Clinton, Obama e.tc.

“Forget ‘replace’ - give it back to the free market “

You are assuming it was free market before Obamacare. Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, FEHB, CHAMPVA and numerous federal and state regulations all existed before Obamacare.

This is the pattern, Trump starts this stuff and the mediots are focused on it, while something else of greater import goes down.

I suspect that Sessions is in on it, and whatever it is, is going to be a bombshell.

Yeah, but at least there was a private market for health insurance before ACA....not now, the wife and I are forbidden from buying the policy we need. (HSA type high-deductable, no “EHB’s”). Sad days in American when you cannot purchase a normal legal product.

I imagine President Trump watching this MSM frenzy on TV, chortling and saying out loud, “ are you not entertained!” (Gladiator)
