Trump had no idea what Sessions was going to do. He was asked point blank if Sessions had given him any indication that he would recuse, and Trump said, “Zero.”

Here is another Trump quote that I got from the Teaparty site. If you need the link, I’ll hunt it up [the quote was on my clipboard].

“Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself, which frankly I think is very unfair to the president,” Trump said in a recorded conversation. “How do you take a job and then recuse yourself? If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said, ‘Thanks, Jeff, but I’m not going to take you.’ It’s extremely unfair — and that’s a mild word — to the president.”

...because special prosecutor investigations never turn into a political circus.

smh

What did I say that was untrue?

Did Trump get the deal he wanted with repeal and replace? Did he get ANY deal?

No.

And if you think that Trump will get a good and decent deal with the 2017 tax overhaul plan, then you are nuts.

Make up you mind here. First you said Trump should resign. Now you say he should not?

“If this stunning report is true ....”

For a smokescreen to be effective it has to be convincing enough to fool your friends.

Sessions is doing exactly what Trump and he have planned. Quietly, without alerting powerful targets that could cause all sorts of trouble.

If Sessions wasn’t doing the job do you think that Trump would be afraid to remove him? He’d fire him in a flash.

This is another red herring like the “McMaster is a Deep State Pro Islamist” that was so popular around here. McMaster was busy presiding over the destruction of ISIS and prepping the coming demise of North Korea’s nuclear ambitions while a good chunk of freeperdom had him as George Soro’s puppet. McMaster still has his job. Sessions still has his job.

The real news is that there is a Uranium One investigation. That’s what the Clintons and Team Obama see. Trump and Sessions are letting this bit of news out for a reason, most likely to see if any rats panic and do something stupid when they hear it. A U1 prosecution is very dangerous to some heavy hitters. They know that a Sessions recusal means nothing, but a DOJ investigation can put them in prison.

YOU FREEPERS OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. BASHING SESSIONS! HE IS THE GODFATHER OF MAGA. TRUMP WOULD NOT BE POTUS IF IT WASN’T FOR HIM. PATHETIC!

That's some pretty good satire, right there.

The Deep State old guard is so corrupt, they cannot even investigate themselves.

OK, AG Sessions, I guess what you are telling us is that
due to the possibility of conflict of interest no
legislator, current or past, should be selected to be
a candidate for the position of Attorney General.
Thank you and farewell.

I’ve been withholding scorn for Sessions, but... Not sure what to think anymore. Is he of low testosterone? Is he entwined in it? Is he playing chess beyond our pay grade? What?

He’s an old school Marquess of Queensberry beltway doormat Republican.

This last 2017 Summer Recess, McConnell rounded up Senators to vote against allowing the President to make any recess appointments. They voted they were not really in recess, they were in ‘Pro Forma Session’.

The fact that the President can’t get his team in place, and he can’t get his judges confirmed (slow trickle), is due to Senate OBSTRUCTION —> McConnell.

Obstruction on steroids. Will it actually take tar and feathers and rails and torches and pitchforks en masse to get our country back?

I knew we had some turncoats, but what we’re seeing requires a Declaration level response, no?

When asked by radio show host Hugh Hewitt last week if he was recused, he responded: “Well, the, you know, of course there was one case that’s already been prosecuted, and people have been sentenced on, but as to what may happen after that, if anything, I’m not able to comment.”

When asked if he was recused from any investigations into the Clinton investigation, he responded, “Yes.”

Where’s your sarc tag? No one voted for sessions or for Trump because of sessions.

pro-Trump possible AG replacements out there

(*cough*) Andrew (*cough*) McCarthy?

(*ahem*) Rudolf (*ahem*) Giuliani?

Ann Coulter?

I think there's quite a list of those who would be a massive improvement.
