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!"

I’m not sure that the 3 Amigos, Weasel Comey, RosenWeasel and Weasel Mueller didn’t have this SC thing all mapped out.

For all we know Mueller runs RosenWeasel who runs Rip van Sessions.

Amateurs, if you've ever had little girls for real. Pretty much a waste of energy, and (other than venting) zip for message content.

I'll be quick to admit that I whine from time to time myself.

Session’s is compromised. Rosenstein is running DOJ per employees leaking to Greg Jarrett.

>>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.<<

Okay, time for the die-hard Sessions fans to wiggle out of the woodwork and come to his defense. You know, the ones who have argued for months that he has been diligently gathering evidence pertaining to the dirty deeds of the evildoers in the American intelligence community.

There is absolutely nothing to defend. I’ve said this before but Sessions is the most disappointing cabinet appointment in my lifetime.

No point trying to reason with the usual Trump-bashers.

But Q himself said to “TRUST SESSIONS”! (yeh yeh)

Still, I have said I will withhold judgment pending the IG report and seeing how JS handles things from there, but have to say he has not left me overcome with faith.

Beats me, but plausible. I view the industry as monolithic. Pack of liars.
