Scoop: Besieged Sessions dines with Rosenstein in show of solidarity
Axios ^ | Feb 28, 2018 | staff

Posted on 02/28/2018 5:05:22 PM PST by Eddie01

If Donald Trump finally follows through on his rage and fires Jeff Sessions, the image with this story will be printed in history books.

Tonight at 7:35pm, the Attorney General strode into a high-end Washington restaurant to dine with his deputy Rod Rosenstein and the Solicitor General Noel Francisco.

The symbolism was unmistakable: the three top ranking officials in the Justice Department appearing together in a show of solidarity on the same day Trump is publicly and privately raging about Sessions.

When Trump sees this photo he'll have to absorb a concept that some of his aides have been trying to impress upon him for nearly a year, since he first began telling them he wanted to get rid of Sessions.

The concept: Fire Sessions, then what next? Are you going to fire Rosenstein too? And then what after that?

Sources close to the situation say today feels different than Trump's usual rages. Sessions' allies are deeply concerned and Trump is totally fed up with his AG.

Trump has been taunting and publicly humiliating Sessions for months now, but his tweet this morning was as rough as any he's sent:

"Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!"

Sessions has been more poisonous to DJT and the America First agenda than all the #NeverTrump’ers put together. The Keebler Elf bites the big one.

What a POS sessions is. He is single handedly sustaining the swamp. I know Trump is only human, but I cannot for the life of me understand how he was so played by sessions.

Axios spin and fakenews. Trump knows the legal and political contraints on his firing and replacement. Seeing a photo of Sessions, Rosenstein and #3 together isn't going to make much of an impression.

This is not good at all. Rosenstein is a big part of the problem.

Time to fire Sessions.

However, the way Trump is snuggling up to the gun control crowd, Sessions may figure Trump is a wounded duck with conservatives anyway.

Mainly because if Republicans are the ones who pass gun control legislation that Trump signs, he and the Republicans in Congress will be giving the Democrats Congress ij this years election, and then the Democrats will him and Mike Pence will be the new President.

Then the democrats will pay for it in the elections in 2020.

President Trump will be so hated for this gun grab and not putting those that have committed treason in jail.

My friends that keep telling me that there isn't a difference between the right and left in this country because they're all elites that dine with each, their kids go to the same schools and on and on and on I will have to finally believe them.

We have all been lied to. There is no hope for this country anymore.

Really?? Is this more 3D or 4D chess from the Gun-Grabber-in-Chief here?
