I immediately had another outlandish theory that the Trump campaign knew about the surveillance even during the 2016 campaign, and took active measures to undermine it.
“...both protect freedom and avoid a second Civil War...”
Not possible, friend.
They need to be defeated. By any and all means.
I think Kushner went quiet because of his security clearance issues
Not all of them, especially if they think Trump corrupted the investigation.
The FBI investigation into Trump Campaign-Russia was already going on for awhile, before Sessions was nominated - the Senators at his confirmation hearing even asked Sessions if he would recuse himself and he said he would - Trump could’ve told him then to drop out, he didn’t.
The point is that there NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN an “investigation”!
And but for Jeff Sessions, there wouldn’t be one.
He enabled this, and he continues to protect it.
The same way Rod Rosenstein can’t over see an investigation that he is a witness of and participant in the alleged happenings being investigated?
That would be the same Rosenstein that Sessions protects?
Trump inner circle probably suspected Manafort was being surveilled ....removed.
I believe Trump insiders were suspicious of Page and Pop early on. They were distant players with little input.
Juicy book will be written about all of this.......
The Mueller investigation has nothing to do with the firing of James Comey.
There was an investigation ongoing BEFORE Sessions was appointed and BEFORE he was confirmed.
LMAO:
Not a Special Counsel investigation, no sir.
You'll find plenty of them.
I want to see one that actually has a named source who actually knows what's going on, not one of the dozens and dozens of media reports that are nothing more than speculation.
If Trump is your standard, then he's made his displeasure with Sessions very clear. But since you sound more like a 9D chess proponent, how do you explain Trump's own pesonal lawyer's office, home, and even safety deposit boxes being raided? You really think it was a good precedent to allow the deep state to get away with it?
I give up, man.
Please reinsert your head into Jeff Sessions’s southern side.
i think Trump is doing exactly what he has been saying he was doing - keeping his hands off the DOJ, and we’ll see what happens. He’s made those exact quotes most everytime he’s attacked Jeff Sessions and his corrupt DOJ, which is typically at least once a week. So I’m just taking Trump at his word on this, especially since his only interface with Sessions and the DOJ seems to be limited to constantly insulting them publicly as disgraceful, etc, but letting them continue to dig a deeper grave for themselves.
Just calling things the way I see them.
Trump likes to throw out “shiny objects” to distract the media and “pundits” - he has been doing that all along since day 1. He says look over there and the media jumps while he goes about his real business.
I think Trump’s displeasure with Sessions is disinformation, but time will tell.
You do realize there is war going on right now with the deep state and they will get some wins here and there OR maybe there is a lot more to the Cohen raid, maybe Cohen is compromised, maybe he sold Trump out for a lot money and became a mole for the deep state - again time will tell.
Sessions has been in office for 15 months. What has he done except allow the agencies under his purview to become deeply distrusted by the American people? When will he restore integrity in his department? Why are obvious crimes not being prosecuted?
Sessions’ recusal from the Mueller investigation does not absolve him of his administrative responsibilities to ensure that investigative activities are conducted with integrity and everyone under him is held to high standards and are accountable for their performance. That is what managers do, especially those entrusted with great responsibility.
Sessions is a blight on this administration. If you haven’t noticed the ongoing tensions between president Trump and Mr. Magoo you are willfully ignoring the recalcitrance of our nation’s chief law enforcement officer.
There is a serious crisis of confidence in our national law enforcement agencies that Sessions has neglected/refused to address. Moreover, he is widely perceived as being part of a cover up for an entrenched government cabal that is actively undermining our president and our democracy.
Its long since time for Sessions to vacate his office and go back to Alabama. If they’ll have him.
Kaboom! Great comment.
He hasn't allowed any of this to happen. It was a problem before he got there, and these agencies are doing a fine job of destroying their own credibility without any help from him.
You can't fix all this sh!t in 15 months. The FBI will very likely have to be dismantled entirely. That will be such a political hot potato that it probably shouldn't even be considered until after 2020.
