Attorney General Jeff Sessions informed the White House that he may resign from his post in the event that President Trump fires Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to a new report.

Sessions notified White House counsel Don McGahn of this during a phone call last weekend, sources told the Washington Post.

During the phone call, Sessions sought information about a meeting between Trump and Rosenstein and was relieved to hear that the meeting was primarily pleasant, and mentioned that he would have to weigh resigning if Trump fired Rosenstein, a person familiar with the call told the Post.

I give up. “What is black and doesn’t work?”
Or has someone already answered that one?

“And why do you think I would fire Rosenstein?”

Considering the source....I don’t buy he said that or even implied it.

I wonder if Sessions has his “kiss and tell” book ready to publish? He can join HIllary and Comey on the “fake book tour.”

“I’ll gladly swing over to your side as soon as Sessions brings charges against any high-ranking democrat. “

Save your fingers, “Triple E” is in love with Jeff Sessions. They could catch Jeffie in bed with an underage boy and “3E “ would still stand up for him. There is no debate here, Jeff taught Jesus how to walk on water.

What Evidence points away from Sessions and Rosenstein being in lock-step?

Sure looks like they’re best buds whose main concern in the Reputation of the FBDoj.

Tell us how it is Strzok and Page are on the inside getting paychecks?

Tell us how Mueller and the NY US Atty move like their hair is in fire to get Trump, but Sessions and his Wine Partner move like a drugged turtle on a cold day.

The Evidence is there. No reason to contort theories that have more turns than a Go-Kart track.

Sessions, a true blue and longstanding real conservative, was the first Senator to endorse Trump. He was enthusiastic and always loyal to him. As usual, Trump returns that loyalty and respect with scorn and derision. Like the story at the link about Cohen, no loyalist to Trump is treated with loyalty in return.

The problem is the Senate. They already said they wouldn’t approve anyone else for the position.

The DOJ IG report is going to implicate Rosenstein because he signed one of the fraudulent FISA applications. At that point Sessions will have to fire him. If he doesn’t, Trump has everything he needs to fire both of them and no one will have a real basis for complaint.

What a clown car.

Jeff wants an honorable way out, so he pins it on the prosecution of a felon.

I read the Washington Post article before this article... nowhere did either ‘story’ quote Sessions or Rosenstein. At best both ‘stories’ are rumors.
