Sessions told White House that Rosenstein’s firing could prompt his departure, too
Washington Post ^

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the exchange.

Sessions made his position known in a phone call to White House counsel Donald McGahn last weekend, as Trump’s fury at Rosenstein peaked after the deputy attorney general approved the FBI’s raid April 9 on the president’s personal attorney Michael Cohen.

You’re being a little rabid about this. Are you due for a booster shot?

If Trump fires Rosenstein, and Sessions resigns, there’s probably a good case for inserting their pictures into the dictionary under “two birds with one stone”.

If people think that Sessions is such a wuss, and has done nothing since he’s been AG, why would they believe that he’d have the balls to confront the President this way? It contradicts everything some Freepers on this thread believe about him.

Well, you beat me to it. However, some Sessions-bots will find a way to pull their hero out of the mire.

You do realize that, according to them, fate had Trump elected President just so Sessions could be Attorney General.

I’d like to know about relevant communications between Sessions and Rosenstein, and between Rosenstein and the other crooked cops, just to know who is giving the orders and how deep is the Swamp. I’d also like Congress or President Trump to demand Sessions explain why Strozk, Page and the other demotees still have security clearances, not to mention paychecks from We the People. It does look like Sessions is just a paperweight.

If this is Session’s stand on the matter, then it says in bold, and clear letters the man isn’t the Trump supporter he portrayed in the play act that got him into the position he holds.

Can you say establishment RINO? I find it hard to believe, but what else is there?

Whatever people feel about Sessions, if it’s coming from the Washington Post it’s Fake.

Abusive ad hominem. So typical of Sessions fans.

Neither Sessions nor Trump will correct this story. There’s a reason for that.

More likely both are Deep State, or connected at the hip! Either way....goodbye daXXit! Time for TRUTH, and I want Giuliano in Rosenstein’s place...over Mueller!

Yes, but because it’s about Sessions, some people believe it.

How Ironic, this week we find out Rod R. Told President Trump he’s NOT a Target. This is old B.S. news.
