There can be no moe excuses for Sessions.

He may have been blackmailed and/or threatened, regardless he is no longer working in the interest of We The People and Our Lawful President.

He is an agent of Satan

This is starting to look like the TV series, Billions.
Same district court, same outrageous tactics, same fanatical mindset.

It’s time for POTUS to start organizing the framework of a 3rd party


It’s a short hop from Tea Party to T Party. And think of all the printing costs they could save by just using magic markers.

OKAY— so who approved the WARRANT? Who? What obamaumao holdover lackey lick spittle who thought it was OK to have the President’s personal attorney’s offices and residences raided. A first in the long history of abuse by a criminal acting FBI and DOJ.

The warrant applications may be sealed.... but surely Cohen demanded a copy of the Warrant issued for his “seizures”. They could not refuse him a copy of the Warrant.

Anything else and this is the Geheim Staats Polizei-== GESTAPO tactics.

You ever see the movie Braveheart? Sessions is the nobles who stabbed William Wallace in the back by doing absolutely nothing while Wallace was in battle. Wallace waves the flag giving them the signal to take action and instead they sit there and do absolute nothing. That is Sessions to a tee, to an absolute tee. He is a backstabbing betraying punk DELIBERATELY doing nothing so as to destroy Trump because in my opinion he made a deal with the deep state. To sit so idly by as these CRIMINALS run amok with their demented idea of "justice" in this country is absolutely a betrayal to Trump, this country and to every last patriot trying to save it. And BTW I've told this to Trump through Twitter. He's of Scottish blood and I was hoping it may jolt him somehow to take action and fire this bum but so far no dice. I don't know why.

Yes, he received his copy of the warrant. Which is useless in defending yourself from it. You need the affidavits of probable cause the warrants were based on and keeping them sealed prevents or delays quashing the search warrant and buys them time for the copying of the seized files.

There is absolutely no good reason to seal the affidavits except to create delay and to keep the public in the dark.

What’s sad is Trump can trust nobody at this point. He’s on his own.

the RATS thought they were going to be able to hide behind Berman as proof they have something on Cohen because Trump appointed him and he signed off on it, until it blew up in their face...

Therefore the “CLIENT” that is the POTUS sends another attorney to demand the affidavits to explain just WHAT would be so heinous to break the client’s RIGHT to privileged communication with his attorney. Specifically, what crime would justify yet another FAKE basis for a search in the similar fashion the DOJ and FBI allowed false evidentiary FISA court applications for surveillance. Same kind of “collateral” oh look what we found. The CLIENT has a right to know what crime is being created by the investigators.... after the fact of the investigation being ordered without benefit of a crime.

The President can order (through Mr. Sessions, since these are not RUSSIA related) unsealing the affidavits— and that would NOT be obstructing either. Uncover the secret court.

I will ask again, where the F is Jeff Sessions???

He is hiding out in a mine with the 6 other dwarfs and some gal named Snow_.

Cannot say the gals last name. Some people on here might find it racist and I have learned my lesson about things of color.
