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!"

Alright, either extraterrestrials or the Russians have totally hijacked our government and threatened each and every DOJ and FBI hack with certain death, Seth Rich style, if they don't play along, or...

Comey, Lynch, Hillary, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Strzok, Page, Sessions, Rosenstein, etc., are RUSSIAN AGENTS or are REPLICAS OF THEIR REAL SELVES REPLACED BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS NOW WORKING TO BRING DOWN AMERICA. WHICH IS IT??? WHAT THE EFF IS GOING ON?!!!!!

TRUMP NEEDS TO FIRE SESSIONS NOW. DO IT. JUST DO IT, TRUMP. If he doesn't announce charges against Libby Schaaf with obstruction of justice by Friday morning, CLEAN OUT HIS OFFICE BY END OF DAY FRIDAY AND FIRE HIS TRAITOR P*SSY ARSE.

Hiring and especially firing have been a weaknesses and quite astonishing since he has always been known to do both well and on time. This very well may be the Achilles Heal along with this absurd posturing over the “debate” concerning “gun control”. Not draining the Swamp (how many Obama creatures still reside in government?), keeping Sessions and fading leftward (ignoring everything that got him to POTUS) will achieve him only one term.

Taking you off my PNG list for one post.

Answer to your question: Photo is probably not fake. But the below is ...

Greg Jarrett just now -

“Sessions is Attorney General in name only”


I guess this is supposed to make us feel better.

Fascinating, An Incredible fascinating game being played

Of course myself or anyone here can not claim with certainty the truth. But I do know on a cloudy events such as this, the sun shines. Some folks see the light while others are blinded by the clouds.

To those who are standing under a cloud, please share constitutionally, politically and strategically any other method of operation chasing down the corruption so deep.

If not . . . Please consider turning the volume down a bit. Speaking of things without ALL the facts, without understanding is not helping the cause. That noise may be part of the problem.

For those getting things in a bundle . . . Consider what has been accomplished. BECAUSE of the IG invetsigation initiated one year ago, we now know of the FISA abuse, we now understand correctly the FBI, DOJ and State corruption.

Thinking someone leading the way knows what they are doing. May not happen as fast as I like . . . but come on folks afetr only 1 year we have come a long ways.

Make it a life time ban.

I posted the article because of the photo.

Sessions and Rosenstein together at dinner when Sessions has an IG involved in the FISA investigation Rosenstein my be a target of.

Looks like swamp corruption plain and simple.

Bill and Loretta all over again.

That’s what was interesting and unexpected.

And you believe this Q crap? *snicker*

This whole IG thing stinks; it's really Sessions' job and it is also his job to reign in this whole Mueller thing, which he idiotically left openended from the get-go.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...when it comes to picking people for his Cabinet and open slots in the government, with the exception of Gorsuch, Trump has been beyond dreadful! And I fully admit to having given him far more credit ( stupidly so !), from the getp-go, based on flimsy info and my own assumptions. And I NEVER did understand his Sessions pick at alll...with my own fears about him as AG, now fully exposed to one and all!

What about:

1. Wait til IG report comes out implicating RR in U1
2. Fire Sessions
3. Move Pruitt to AG

Jarrett did not say Session’s is compromised. I did. Jarrett said Rosenstein is running DOJ.

Sorry my post wasn’t clear.

he only need strength at the head. The new person will clean house and move indictments on Clinton and Obama. Guiliani would have done this and he has US Attorney chops against the mafia. But trump as wasted 10 months and we’re in deeper shit than before.

I'm fine with firing Rosenstein. I think people are (understandably) underestimating Sessions, and he is in his element in DOJ - it's where he came from before running for Senate.

If Trump wants to replace Sessions with Pruitt, I'll do as I do now, watch for signs and form opinions. It's Trump's playground. My opinion on matters of this scale has no meaningful power. I feel empowered if I get to influence the family choice for take-out/dine-in food!

Sessions is their BOSS. I would be worried if he were NOT meeting with them!

Rosenstein signed off on one of those fraudulent FISC applications. You should be worried that Sessions is dining with Rosenstein, instead of firing Rosenstein.
