He was before Congress because he accepted the job. I’m guessing in his mind, he would have been admitting guilt if he quit at that point. He wasn’t guilty. He isn’t guilty of Russian collusion. Trump isn’t guilty of Russian collusion. The Swamp acts extremely guilty.

It was an ex-Leahy staffer Judge Beryl Howe [Howell?] that signed off on Mueller’s request to initiate the Russia investigation

“Well that explains why, after nearly a year and one-half, Jeffie “Do Nothing” Sessions FINALLY did something by firing McCabe.”

It was either Sessions or McCabe. The deep-state chose sesssions. He’s the best compromised rat bastard mole the deep-state has...

Seminar caller to Sean Hannity today used the “they’re Republican therefore you should believe them” argument. Seems to be the new talking point.

He was before Congress, because it was a confirmation hearing. It wasn't his job to accept until he was confirmed.

This could explain why Sessions has been so timid.

“Hey Jeff! How does it feel now? Make your blood boil?”

Jeff Magoo knew about all this. That’s why he folded like a cheap suit and recused himself putting the deepstate in charge of the DOJ. Putting mueller in charge of a soviet style special counsel coup to bring down Trump.

I’ve been calling Sessions a deep-state compromised rat bastard since his recusal. It’s been painfully obvious.

“yes the deep state uni-party hates Jeff as much as the President. “

No they don’t. Sessions is the best mole that the deepstate has...That’s why lindsay graham said, “There will be hell to pay if Trump fires Sessions”. That’s why McSCROTUM keeps the Senate in session to keep Trump from making recess appointments.

Fake news. This story was meant to portray the firing of McCabe as a personal vendetta by Sessions.
