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.

And please, no 4DChess craziness.


That came from your mind, nothing I have said. But there are wheels with wheels, some intentional, some not. The story is still being written and you are not the author either................

Sessions has proven to be a white man’s Urkle. What a loser he turned out to be.

No, the 4DChess madness didn’t come from my mind. It’s the pschotic excuse Sessions fans used until it became self-parody.

So explain again, please, why Trump so savagely debunked the NYT Cohen-story and has uttered not a peep re the WaPo-Sessions story. Thank you in advance.

You are avoiding the question as if it’s the third rail. To you, it probably is.

Trump needs to fire them. There has been no accountability for Rosenstein running amok in this coup attempt. Trump needs to hold him accountable & campaign hard for Senate candidates. Just keep firing down the line until there’s someone who gives a damn about justice.

You are the one obsessed. You have to be right in your opinion and will not learn!

Joe diGenova on Hannity: “Comey is dirty, Rosentein is compromised. Jeff Sessions has a duty to fire Rosenstein NOW... It’s HIS job, not Trump’s”

I asked you a fundamentally pertinent question. All you can do is deflect.

About the only thing that would hurt me is if you stopped your comedy routine of trying to analyze me. I’ve been getting a good laugh from it. Thanks. It’s sad that you have such a lonely, personal life that you feel compelled to sit at home on a Friday night, doing nothing but attacking, and hurling insults for hours at other people who don’t agree with you. You remind me of a true lib who screams, yells, and stamps their feet, then reverts to name calling because the bully in them can’t accept other people having a different opinion from theirs. Enjoy the rest of your life boy-o.

The wait is over. Trump has called out the fake news. I.e.: he slammed the NYT and defended Cohen. Re the Sessions-Rosenstein WaPo story, crickets.

Trump tweets April 21:

“The New York Times and a third rate reporter named Maggie Habberman (sic), known as a Crooked H flunkie who I don’t speak to and have nothing to do with, are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and a relationship with me in the hope that he will ‘flip.’

“They use non-existent “sources” and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected. Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if it means lying or making up stories.

“Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!”

If it’s a lie Trump or Sessions will correct the record any minute now.

Any minute.
