You don’t own this site and need to go sit in your “safe space” with your blankie and a cup of hot chocolate and color on your coloring book or play with your stuffed animals.

I was wondering that too.

Since the Democrats seem to be running lawlessly.

Wondering when the hammer is going to come down on any of them.

I’ll be happy to be proven wrong when it all happens.

O.K.

You mean not letting the Democrats get away with their crimes?

Yes, they’re running the USA into the ground and that affects a lot of folks. Not just U.S. citizens.

“In before the Sessions bashers. Time to start zotting those who criticize our excellent AG.”

I’m with you that Sessions has his uses.

I’m sure that in a stare down with Lenin, Lenin would blink first. And that hasn’t happened since 1924.

Jeff Sessions has been AG for 1 year, 1 month, 5 days.

And accomplished nothing significant.

The parallels are uncanny. Nixon was hated, detested and savaged by the press; so is Trump. Nixon received almost no Republican support once the ‘scandal,’ broke; Trump has getting close zero Republican support from the time Mueller was appointed (and, indeed, has been brutally attacked by his own party), Nixon’s crimes were blown completely out of proportion; Trump is being investigated for obstruction for A, simply doing his job, and B, wrong-think.

Like Trump, Nixon had a problem with his Attorney General Elliot Richardson, who would play a large role in his downfall. Richardson, a liberal member of the Eastern Establishment with which Nixon had fought throughout his entire political career, appointed Archibald Cox, who had been JFK's Solicitor General, to be the Watergate Special Prosecutor. When Nixon finally ordered Richardson to fire him, Richardson resigned instead, in what the press called the Saturday Night Massacre.

Nixon, for some strange reason, had appointed Richardson to replace Richard Kleindienst as Attorney General when Nixon, again for for some strange reason, forced Kleindienst to resign in April, 1973. Had Kleindienst, a Goldwater man, remained, it is unlikely that he would have appointed a Kennedy man as the Watergate Special Prosecutor.

"For Sessions, a dignified man who would never treat anyone else the way the president treats him, it has to be painful, and all the more so because of the irony of it."

REally? He lied, by omission, by not telling the President he wouldn't do his job if appointed - and all these months of disruption has cost the President AND the country a LOT....and it's all at Sessions feet. We have, effectively, not had a an AG -

Is Sessions a wuss, scared of the big FBI guys? Is he being blackmailed with information gathered when DWasherwomanS's toy boy, the Pakistani agent and his unqualified family who were accessing dozens of senators emails/electronics _ and he is STILL not being brought up on those charges - or, is Sessions the ultimate Deep State gate keeper to keep everyone from 'bummer on down from being being prosecuted?

BTW, has he complied with the request for a special prosecutor yet - or is he still 'considering it?"

ZOT away...

Lou and Gregg are right except I don’t think Sessions’ incompetence is the only story. IMO, he was approached by the corrupt state. I’m not sure when that happened...all I know is that sessions asked, ‘how much lube and how far do you want me to bend over?’

Trump can’t fire Sessions, Rosenstein would be in charge and he can’t fire him either, and even if he could, the Senate would hold up the nomination process for a new AG!

“It remains to be seen whether Mueller will open an obstruction investigation into Trump’s firing of Tillerson. “


Indeed, lol.
Tillerson has frolicked with Russians. Trump fired Tillerson. Leftist logic : this is evidence of Trump collusion... with Russians.

Criminals are like weeds.

If you wait too long to clean them out, they replicate exponentially.

If Sessions is a good guy, then he’s sneaking around more than the criminals, biding his time to strike.

Of course, in the meantime, 10x as many criminals will develop within the same corrupt agencies where he is supposedly trying to clean up.

Reads more like more deep state excuses to avoid accountability and condone criminal behavior.
