EXCLUSIVE: Fired FBI official authorized criminal probe of Sessions, sources say

Nearly a year before Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired senior FBI official Andrew McCabe for what Sessions called a "lack of candor," McCabe oversaw a federal criminal investigation into whether Sessions lacked candor when testifying before Congress about contacts with Russian operatives, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

“If the chain of command remains intact and if Mattis AND McMaster remain loyal, we should be OK.”

We know mcmaster is not loyal. A globalist, a leaker, an islamophile, and backed by the likes of susan rice and Leon Panetta. I’m not too thrilled about Mattis either.

Frankly, Trump needs to immediately fire eveyone in the executive branchef hired during the Obama administration.

Good luck with that. You ever work in the federal government?

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

You know, (as if I'm the only one around here, ) to heck with worrying right now about firing Mueller, fire Rosenstein instead.

Why is this guy allowed to operate without any supervision whatsoever? Sessions & Trump are responsible for what he does and limiting the scope of the Mueller business is a some sort of holy bugaboo that wasn't foreseen and can't be fixed now?

'Nonsense! Fix it or get out Mr. Rosenstein. Limit this thing to the Trump campaign and the Russian's working together or drop it. No one except Mr. Rosenstein picked Mr. Mueller, right?

RE: there will be a civil war

Folks, we ARE in a civil war. The Left is increasingly violent and openly attacking conservatives; not only Trump, but members of Congress and Senate. (Witness the baseball attack last spring, the mysterious garbage truck on the railroad track, Ron Paul attack, and the recent assassination attempts on Georgia Congressman.)If we don’t get indictments ASAP, the Deep State will regain control of the House and Senate one stolen election at a time, and they will never relinquish power again.

We need indictments yesterday.

I agree. I would fire anyone and everyone that voted for Hillary rotten Clinton. A harpy with a resume of treason, corruption, murder, felonies, satanism and pedophilia.

If their judgement is that bad, why would you want them as an employee?

[Maris Crane]

If this is true, I am celebrating, because his admission that he is a republican guarantees the hatred of all those dems who were in love with him last week.

Adam Schiff will now accuse him of being Russian.

Shortest romance in history.

[hsmomx3]

I totally agree with you. Only thing I can think of is the devil runs the world.

[EdnaMode]

It’s amazing how much he has accomplished considering what he is up against.

What a goddamn clown show our government is.

[hsmomx3]

I believe God must have some special protection around him.

You have some “elbow grease” yourself mate!

I’ll humbly get on Session’s bandwagon when there is a bandwagon.

“If we don’t get indictments ASAP, the Deep State will regain control of the House and Senate one stolen election at a time, and they will never relinquish power again.”

Spot on. The left are not going to back off until people are put in prison and necks get snapped.

My vote is for military tribunals and mass hangings on the national mall...The treason and corruption is too extensive.

-- I can't recall seeing anybody's defending him on FR. --

There is a fair number of us. One or two are regularly vocal about it, I think most of us just don't bother - nobody's mind is going to be changed based on an internet argument.

Did some research on when Sessions recused himself, it was March 2nd. Democrats had demanded Sessions resign after Franken said he lied in his testimony. Trump, defended Sessions and said it was not intentional and Sessions could have rephrased his statement differently.

So, Sessions could have been forced to resign, great opportunity but Trump backed him. And here we are a year later.

As we have been hoping for a year...maybe now that he knows these people he has been protecting ARE NOT HIS FRIENDS!

He needs to un-recuse himself and go nuclear on these guys.

Folks, we ARE in a civil war... We need indictments yesterday.

Sloppy language.

Civil wars are not controlled by indictments.

Inter arma enim silent leges - between armies, the laws fall silent.

Sessions was a United States Senator.

Senators talk to ambassadors from all over the world, including from Russia.

Sessions pretty much said that when Trump first announced Sessions as his choice for Attorney General.
