Sessions has Alzheimer’s and thinks this is the 1985 war on drugs.

That is proven to work, but it isn’t a mystical force that balances the universe. It is Yehova’s justice.

Any piece of crap legislation prefixed with the leading word comprehensive makes it a sure winner. Congress would pass a comprehensive turd squeezing Bill by unanimous vote.

Chess, but not above your paygrade. Just read the clues. Trump would let him go if he wasn’t doing the job. It takes time to put together a bulletproof case. Good investigators don’t spook their quarry. They want them to relax and think that they have nothing to worry about. Most here think that Hillary, Holder, Lynch et al have nothing to worry about.

In the second debate Trump told Hillary that if he was elected he would instruct his attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her situation. That’s the same debate where he told her she’d be in jail. Well he did get elected. And there is a special counsel. But everyone is convinced that the special counsel is after Trump. Because Trump trusted Sessions, who blew it with recusals. That would certainly convince Hillary and Team Obama they have nothing to worry about. Unless appearances aren’t what they seem. And Trump and Sessions are a good deal smarter than the doom and gloom crowd realize.

Another update to this story.

According to Fox News 2 minutes ago, Sessions has not recused himself from Uranium One. A reversal or mixed signals from Jeffy?

Good catch, since this is what Brietbart reported earlier:

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that he and other House Judiciary Committee Republicans had met with Sessions at the Justice Department on September 28 in advance of an upcoming committee hearing with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein later this month.

Gaetz said that when he asked Sessions to appoint a special counsel to investigate the 2010 Uranium One deal and Fusion GPS, the attorney general stood up, said he could not discuss the matter because he had recused himself, and walked out of the room, leaving them with a group of Rosenstein staffers “who showed no interest.”

Yes. Hannity says he has sources that say Sessions has NOT recused himself from a Uranium One investigation.

He’ll get to the story later.

Maybe Sessions has seen Trump’s tweets.

Consider this as well. If U1 were somehow married to the Russian election interference investigation, the evidence (if leaked effectively) would force RR to recuse which would then force Mueller to do the same. They were both involved in U1.

Therefore, with RR, Mueller, and Sessions out, the Associate AG would have to appoint a new SP to continue. That would be Rachel Brand of Iowa, sworn in just 6 months ago.

That would be a great scenario, but the Swamp wouldn’t allow it.
People like Mueller do not recuse themselves.

Apparently you are correct. Hannity just announced this as breaking news. Sessions still in on the uranium issue.

So perhaps a solution to this mess with Jeff Sessions, is to simply replace him with Scott Pruitt.”

Probably the MOST SENSIBLE suggestion I've heard since Trump appointed "weak link" Sessions as AG.

According to the information from representative Gaetz, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced to members of the House Judiciary Committee he was recusing himself from anything to do with the 2016 election, Russia, or any participant or ancillary member attached to the 2016 election, including Hillary Clinton, which also includes any prior activity from any person or interest -regardless of time of occurrence- that intersects with any person, entity or individual in the sphere of the 2016 election.

If this is the case, he cannot swerve as AG.

The HONORABLE thing to do would be to resign.

Sessions told them that he doesn’t want the DOJ to be political. What Jeff?

IE, no politician can ever be investigated.

Still, Trump appointed him.

Trump said he didn't realize he would have to recuse himself on those issues. IMO, Sessions did not serve him well by not explaining it to him, and does not serve him well as AG.

Actually, I didn’t really mean to respond to that post
of yours so my apologies.

On another note, Hannity announced on his TV show
that Sessions did not recuse himself from the uranium
issue.

Mixed feeling about Pruitt moving to AG...on balance it’s good, but it’s been worth the price of admission watching him clean house at the EPA.
