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.

“In the meantime, get on the Trump train.”


Have your ears checked. Trump train has blown the whistle many times to wake Sessions up. But Mr Magoo keeps napping in the train station’s waiting room.

Realizing that's true has been a bit of a disappointment in terms of release dates.

However, Best to have it done well with all their ducks in a row ... and released at the most fitting time regardless of our impatience to see fireworks and hear the 1812 Overture.

I don't for a second think that McCabe gets a free pass.

Not sure what all the theater with him recently is about but, imho, he's merely been served a kind of public notice that he's not near as much hot stuff nor near as much free and safe as he may think he is.

I don't know if he's actually been to GITMO for a visit and interesting experiences, or not.

I just don't believe he's anywhere near free of future prosecution/incarceration etc. etc. etc.

And I strongly believe that his pension will be the least of his priorities.

His arrogance and generally nasty attitude and personality are NOT going to help him out in the least. His pontifical blathering and threats will likely fall back on top of him as very heavy and uncomfortable weights or even like meteors from the sky shutting his stupid yapping, for a change.

Perhaps we have to think of Sessions like an iceberg--most of the weightiness is under the waterline.

Or like a duck--serene on top but paddling like mad under the water.

“Perhaps we have to think of Sessions like an iceberg”

More like a Titanic than an iceberg. More like a sitting duck than a paddling duck.

I was probably on the Trump Train since before You, ThankQ. He has not even announced yet.

I was, and have been, holding back as far as criticizing Sessions for a long time. I was not going to jump on the get rid of Sessions boat until I saw a good reason to do so.

How do you know that many of us aren’t playing the same game as Trump? Some of us may not want the RATs to see us all on the same page. Keep them guessing.

My post was regarding the author of this piece. His description of we Trumpers disgusted me. Funny he didn’t write this piece until Sessions fired McCabe. I wonder why that is? It is such a good feeling to show how right you are, especially when a person thinks it is safe to do so.

Conceivable.

Nevertheless, I'm praying that Sessions is serving POTUS TRUMP and his efforts to trash evil--whether Sessions is doing so gladly or under duress because of consequences hanging over his head because of his own very outrageous evil doings in past months and regimes.

I don't like him and I don't like his associations and deeds with OThuga and the Klintoons. I don't like who he has assigned to help him.

Nevertheless, I do believe that Trump is sharper by far, than he appears. I certainly believe Trump has the capacity to use Sessions in a variety of ways for a variety of reasons.

There are horrendous complex relationships, dynamics, contingencies etc. etc. etc. I'm choosing to "TRUST TRUMP and TRUST Q because I mostly TRUST GOD in all of such doings and goings on.

You have no idea how I pray for President Trump’s success and safety. I include all of us who support him and now I shall pray that you are right!

Thank you for your encouraging replies.

Bully for you.

When did you decide to jump off? If The Donald has faith in Sessions, and he does or he would be gone, then you must as well, or you are a political opponent of the President. That's how it works. It's very simple.

And if you're not off the train completely you are hanging on the back of caboose. You know, onto that rail where the little standing platform is bumping your legs on the tracks and getting road rash.

How do you know that many of us aren’t playing the same game as Trump? Some of us may not want the RATs to see us all on the same page. Keep them guessing.

4D chess? OutSTANDING!!! Keep up the charade then, goodman. Your President calls and he needs even double agents working against him, or appearing to, to throw off the enemy.

Funny he didn’t write this piece until Sessions fired McCabe.

Some people are slower to throw off their well earned cynicism and regain hope than others. I accept that, and welcome all to the cause, no matter how late to the table.

They don't call it #TheAwakening for nothing.

Gregg Jarrett reported that Sessions used “28 CFR 45.2” which does not cover the type of investigation currently being pursued.

Jarrett did not cite another law. At least not that I know of...

I have some idea. I hope I'm right too.

And you're welcome. I'm trying.
