Rumor Mill: Sessions To Get A Lateral Move Rather Than The Boot
hotair.com ^ | July 30, 2017

Posted on 07/30/2017 7:25:55 AM PDT by Helicondelta

As hot Beltway rumors go, this one is extra spicy, but doesn’t appear to have very much meat on the bone. It started with an anonymously sourced story from Politico which claimed “department staffers” were suggesting that Jeff Sessions might be moved over from the Attorney General slot to replace departing General John Kelly at Homeland Security.

So, as I said, you can hear the wheels spinning inside the heads of various politicos who are looking at this. One of the biggest selling points for keeping Sessions in the administration is his hard line stance on illegal immigration. Both ICE and Border Patrol fall under DHS and they are still law enforcement agencies (though very specific ones) so Sessions looks like a natural fit. At the same time (under this theory), the vacancy left at the Justice Department could be filled by someone who might not recuse themselves from the Russia, Russia, Russia investigation and possibly even fire Mueller.

Was a deputy to Rosenstein confirmed and sworn in? A woman?
They could play leap frog! Kekk over Kek!

Yes. This is the new meme for the Pravda:

The GOP is engaging in partisan politics because they want to investigate Hillary’s crimes even after she lost. (as if her crimes should be forgiven because she lost).

Pretty pathetic. Very weak and desperate. I love the sight of lying leftist traitors in a panic. It makes my day.

Is that allowed?

Check out Stephen Boyd. He has passed committee and is waiting (along with Chris Wray) for senate confirmation. Once confirmed either can be shifted to another position iirc

He has worked with Sessions before. Another Alabama gentleman

Even the headline is defensive: “Don’t these meanies realize Hillary LOST and they should let her skate?” is what it means.

I’m excited but from experience, I must temper that excitement.

No. Don’t watch the Pedo.

No, you don’t see arrest or indict in the article, just as in the first attacks on Trump you didn’t see “impeach.” The MO is to lay the ground work by denying she should even be investigated. Later will come the “She shouldn’t be indicted,” followed by “She shouldn’t be convicted,” followed by “She shouldn’t be sentenced.”

Now, I’m on record as saying Cankles will not go to jail. But the fact that the fake news media AP must get a story out there NOW specifically WITHOUT these words but implying them? That says a lot.

It appears they have already had him doing some of that anyway. Trump is always ten steps ahead of all of us.

I wonder, LS, who is on the “small team” you mention. Also, don't you think the AG reports to the CIC on these investigations? It has been confusing to imagine a normal Cabinet Secy working relationship with Trump after the recusal. This week's tweets added to my confusion. Normally, a Pres. talks to his AG privately. But with the Mueller situation, I gather that Trump is avoiding any conversation with Sessions. Not buying this was all cheese in the maze. Next week's moves may clear up the confusion.

They need to investigate the murder of Seth Rich.

Yes, the botched kidnapping/sexual assault (get it? neither of those things happened either) of Seth Rich is conspicuous by its absence... please clarify?

Bad move. I highly doubt Sessions will enforce immigration law. He will sabotage Trump at every turn. Already has.

This is YUGE. It says that the left now needs to defend Cankles from ARREST because they know indictments are coming. Now, the article says “House.” I think it’s DOJ.

What makes you think it's the DOJ and not the House?

Cankles team is NOT concerned about the House or the Senate.

Why should they be? What has either ever done to a Dem?

No, this is DOJ that has them trembling, and it came from Snuffulupagus, I bet.

They are trying to squelch a criminal proceeding.

Just think about all that is on their plate, then think it must be done with an absolute SKELETON crew to keep it airtight and secret:

Rich
Lynch
Comey
Awan (and all his tentacles)
Yeats
Pedo Podesta
Clinton Crime Family Foundation
Lois Lerner
vast secret spying by Zero

and I haven’t even mentioned Cankles yet.

Can you imagine the work this requires? Just ONE of these cases would be months of prep-—but since they are all tied together?

And people wonder why Sessions isn’t “doing something.”

Eric Holder will be 1st? Susan Rice? Loretta Lynch? Leon “Pizza Man” Pannetta?

I wish I agreed that Cankles and her team are trembling ...

I really want to, but they’ve not trembled yet.

The fact that ANY of their team are already starting to try an quash this indictment effort tells us a lot.
