Sessions makes his move
American Thinker ^ | J R Dunn

Posted on 03/19/2018 4:48:12 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Sessions is the quintessential Eagle Scout. He will follow the rules down to the last subclause and will not make his move until every "t" has been crossed and every "i" dotted.

We saw the first results of this approach last Friday – in dealing with Andrew McCabe, this century's prime example of a "cookie full of arsenic."

Sessions waited until the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility (which is run by Assistant Director Candice Will, who was appointed by Robert Mueller, of all people) recommended that McCabe be fired. He then had McCabe officially informed beforehand, following established procedure to the letter.

This comes under the rubric of "strategy," a concept unfortunately foreign to too many active conservatives. A large number of cons recognize only one course of action: a headlong charge against the closest target while howling at the top of their lungs. Not only do they dismiss any more subtle form of action, but they often attack those engaging in it of cowardice or corruption, or of being an "Alinskyite-Obamaist commie stooge" – despite the fact that their kamikaze runs usually end up heading over the nearest cliff.

So it was with Sessions, who has been routinely dismissed as "paid off," being "asleep under his desk," or as "part of the swamp."

Sessions took his time, did things according to the book, and dealt the swamp a good, stiff blow while leaving its denizens little recourse but to throw tantrums in the media, which they have been doing the weekend long.

Case closed!!!

Yep. It's only gonna get worse when the IG report comes out. Mueller will wish he had gotten fired, as I said above.

Watch and learn, rookies.

A headlong roar because we demand it?

Hardly, We have been sitting back with extreme patience as always.

Thing is, one little thing happens with Sessions and we are supposed to swoon for him and believe he is actually seeking justice.

I will hang on as always and wait to see if my “trying to be renewed” opinion of Sessions is real. Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

I guess no one told Gowdy, Ryan, McConnell or Rubio that “we” are in control?

PS. “We” who is we?

Forgive me, but I have been watching Democrats get away with breaking the law for decades. I have no hope that this will be different especially watching idiot republicans fall in line and supporting so many bad dem actors.

imho

a fair amount of the above is also the KUBUKI dance while a platoon of 'Columbo's' scurry around step by step behind the scenes doing the somewhat boring and meticulous work of getting all their ducks in a row for the more dramatic stuff to follow in due course.

It's somewhat reasonable for us to feel impatient.

Yet, with such a wholesale complex set of situations involving so many outrageous traitors, child abusers, corrupt money thieves etc. ... microwave-instant is just not only unwise--it's practically just not in the cards as very workable.

imho.

Ah, republicans aren’t inept they are applying a strategy well beyond the average person’s understanding?

I have grown cynical through the years. :-(

So, just firing, not even indicting an obvious swamper, only after more than one years and multiple pressure to do so is called “a stiff blow”??
The author of that claptrap is a fidiot.

they are applying a strategy

That's the word around the campfire. It's a huge war behind the scenes....Deep State (State Dept. DOJ, FBI and others) vs The Donald and his allies (NSA, Military Intelligence, and others). With Pompeo moving to CIA, we have control of it now. Need to flush out the holdovers out of all Depts. We are winning. As Q says, Trust the plan.

While this article has some truth in it, on this specific action, Sessions is far from redeemed.

He knew he would recuse himself and should have told Trump or even took his name out of the hate for AG.

We have a weakened AG and McCabe and Rosenstein, as well as other Deep Stater’s have been running the FBI and DOJ with no AG supervision or direction. Sessions was a great conservative Senator and an early supporter of Trump, I’ve always liked him. However, his decision has weakened our national security and the Trump Presidency.

There ya go. That's useful.

In the meantime, others will be spreading information and "red pilling" our fellow Americans. Forming public opinion as best we can. Making Drudge polls skew in a way they wouldn't have a month ago. Stuff like that. But you sit back and wait....

McCabe and his wife made themselves low hanging fruit. Obvious target. Let’s see some other firings and some indictments.

A correct assessment of Sessions slap on the wrist. No action on McCabe’s significant crimes. No criminal prosecution action by Sessions. So far, McCabe gets a pass.

Yes he is so careful he allowed Obama lawyers to give him the wrong law to recuse himself.

I have heard that said several times but have not heard anyone cite the law they think is correct. If you know, I would appreciate it if you would point out the correct controlling statute.

"We” who is we?

We, in this case, is The President and those of us who support him, including you. The good guys. Real Americans. You know. WE.

Are in control.

And I don't blame you, and others, for your cynicism. I was like you. But I believe in Trump and the team who is assisting him. Including the Q operation. We are winning. YOU are winning. Stop resisting and help pull the wagon.
