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

Posted on 04/20/2018 4:12:28 PM PDT by Magnatron

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.

Why did Sessions still have a job at the end of the phone call?

According to the Q followers, the older the account, the more likely it’s a troll.

Q followers are huge Sessions fans.

....”Washington Post, unnamed sources, bull$hit story”...

I agree fully and there’s a whole lot out there like it these days. Dems/news are in full destruction mode, directly and indirectly....especially any but there own in office.

I don’t follow Q. Don’t even know who he/she is. If you check my activity in the forum, I’ve never posted to any of the threads about them. Keep digging. Maybe Mueller can help you find a crime I committed while here on FR.

You don’t know what you’re missing. The Q followers are ardent abusive ad hominemists, and massive in their support for Sessions.

Rudy will never take a position that requires Senate confirmation. Part of Trump’s legal team is perfect for him.

I'm old and I'm already abusive. Don't need Q to make me that way. That's what happens after working in uniform in Corrections for 25 years. It does change your personality, and I'm a female who only worked in male prisons.

I'm not an ardent supporter of Sessions, but I remember how everyone on FR was so pleased that he had been chosen by Trump to be AG, and how the Dems who had worked alongside him for years suddenly decided he wasn't fit to be AG because he was a racist. They obviously didn't want him in the job for a reason. I'm just willing to give the guy a chance, and see what happens. He's not one to leak or advertise what he's doing, so we don't really know what's going on in the background. And I try not to believe anything the liberal media reports, since they all have their own agenda. I haven't watched any cable or network news programs since Obama was elected in 2008. I do agree that Rod Rosenstein has been compromised as he signed one of the FISA warrants. Everyone else who signed them has been fired. He should be too. I did note on the criminal referral letter that members of the House sent to Sessions and others last week, that they want Rosenstein recused from any examination of FISA abuse, nor should U.S. Attorney Huber, nor a special counsel (if one is appointed) report to Rosenstein.

Democratic Party files suit alleging conspiracy by Trump campaign,

Do not let the door hit your A$$ as u are leaving.

I am pretty sure that President Trump wants this guy Sessions out asap.

Rosenstein is running the Justice Department right now. Rosenstein will get fired since he is up to his eyeballs in a lot of mischievous behavior at the Justice Department. Does any law abiding American trust the upper management of the FBI right now. We do not trust them right now!!!

Sessions should have never recused himself from the Russian investigation since that Rosenstein appointed Mueller himself. What a joke Mueller has turned out to be. BTW, Mueller is a former USMC.

Correction:
Here we have the Washington Post, with unnamed sources, claiming the Attorney Generalis threatening to quit his job if the President fires his underling, Rosenstein, ...

How often have they printed accurate news regarding Donald Trump both before and after his election ?

If that’s true, do we have independent verification of where Rosenstein’s left hand is, during that photo?
