President Trump ratcheted up his attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Saturday, tweeting that Sessions was "scared stiff" and "Missing in Action" in defending him amid special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Trump slammed Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer at the center of the Trump dossier scandal, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) and once again slammed Mueller's investigation as a "witch hunt."
"The big story that the Fake News Media refuses to report is lowlife Christopher Steele’s many meetings with Deputy A.G. Bruce Ohr and his beautiful wife, Nelly. It was Fusion GPS that hired Steele to write the phony & discredited Dossier, paid for by Crooked Hillary & the DNC," Trump tweeted.
"Do you believe Nelly worked for Fusion and her husband STILL WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF 'JUSTICE.' I have never seen anything so Rigged in my life. Our A.G. is scared stiff and Missing in Action. It is all starting to be revealed - not pretty. IG Report soon? Witch Hunt!" he wrote.
Trump’s attack on Saturday was likely prompted by murmurings that the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is readying subpoenas for people connected to the controversial Steele dossier.
Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) is reportedly preparing subpoenas for DOJ official Bruce Ohr, his wife, Nellie Ohr, and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, sources told The Hill this week.
Bruce Ohr is facing scrutiny from Republicans for his contacts with Simpson and Steele during the presidential campaign, the news of which prompted Trump allies to demand a special counsel investigation into the DOJ and FBI in December.
Simpson hired Steele to help produce the dossier that made a series of salacious allegations about Trump's connections with Russia.
Nellie Ohr worked for Fusion GPS during the presidential campaign — a fact that Republicans have promoted as a possible link between the DOJ and the opposition research firm.
Trump has gone after Sessions for the Russia probe before, saying earlier this month that the attorney general should stop the investigation "right now."
"Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further," Trump tweeted on Aug. 1.
Trump is also known to harbor hostility toward Sessions for recusing himself in the investigation.
“The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself...I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined...and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion!” the president tweeted in June.
Sessions is a nobody, doing nothing. There's a persistent fantasy among many people that some pit bull in Session's place could take down Mueller. That is complete nonsense.
A game? To what end? The country is splitting apart at the seams, and citizens are rightfully concerned that widespread sectarian violence may overtake the nation in the not-too-distant future.
Meanwhile, powerful and entrenched forces within and without our government, are doing their level best to execute a palace coup, and overturn the results of the last election.
Jeff Sessions, the man who inhabits the office most responsible for rooting out this evil and putting a stop to it, has sat recused and immobile over the eighteen months this history making crime has been ongoing - ignoring his president's calls to "Do something!", and you think they're in cahoots - playing some sort of stupid game with the very stability of our country?
No offense, but that viewpoint is just delusional.
Everything is timing. President Trump has a lot of dirt on theses bad actors and will be releasing it at the end of September before the election. what we have coming is not a October surprise but a October revelation that will devastate the demacrat party... If trump felt that Jeff sessions was not his man he would be gone tomorrow. this tweeting is kabuki theater. meant to distract those activists on the demacrat side of the political spectrum who are not insiders and don’t believe the demacrat party did anything wrong or don’t care if they did.
...
It is easy to be a pessimist...hard to go out on a limb and trust...I trust PDJT...I hope and pray you are right.
Off in the weeds. 3/4. thats 75%
Try again.
The country is NOT splitting apart. Your media is.
Sometimes you just have to trust your own lying eyes, and not trust the 8chan porn board.

Words to live by:
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Trust but verify
Does it pass the common sense smell test?
Dont belive anything connected with anonymously written riddles requiring interpretation.
Anything connected with Q is moronic nonsense
I’m seriously shakin’..../s
“Actually what they really said is that they wont confirm another AG.”
“There will be hell to pay if Trump fires Sessions”—Lindsey Graham
“There will be hell to pay if Trump fires Rosenstein”—Lindsey ball gargling Graham
There have been many others(Grassley,et al)...I’m sure the communications behind the scenes were more direct.
Once again here we go.
He is not immobile. He cannot be called to testify on a damn thing and is taking care of the Presidents promises.
The wankers here are just listening to their beloved media.
I don’t pretend to know all the facts surrounding this Beltway intrigue, but I know Donald Trump well enough to say the following with absolute certainty:
There isn’t a chance in hell that Donald J. Trump went through everything he’s accomplished in the last 3+ years only to let himself be undermined by some slow-talking career politician from Alabama.
If anyone disagrees with me on this, I’d love to hear from you on this thread. LOL.
...
Thank you.
But it’s no fun being patient and thinking hard...and saying Quite is a scam...it’s more fun ranting and raving and throwing in the towel. Sarcasm off.
Let's hope this pans out the way you've described.
It is one or the other -- either Trump is not willing to fire the guy (for whatever reason) or it is a strategic game. I don't think we have enough facts to sort it out right now.
It’s NOT that he’s scared...here’s a little secret...he’s their ace their insurance policy, planted there by the deep state way back during the campaign trail!! Sessions is a POS EVIL SOB!!!
Sessions was the wrong man to oversee the biggest scandals in
American history. His recusal set in motion a snowball effect on Trump,
Flynn and Manifort.
History will give Sessions high marks as a Senator.
But an AWOL AG during the biggest scandals in American history.
Sessions will be gone. It’s just a matter of when.
These current scandals will be like past scandals.
Nobody held criminally accountable.
Just used as campaign weapons to pump up the base to vote
during election seasons.
Well this is “the Hill” reporting so take it with a grain of salt....
How does #5 happen with Hillary sitting on the sidelines not even in public office?
As has been repeated out here Ad Nauseam the Republicans in the Senate have said they will side with the Democrats & impeach Trump if he moves on Sessions.
—
I want a quote.
WHERE are the Republicans in the Senate saying that? Who, exactly?
Sessions could unrecuse himself and fire mueller and his cabal of high treason co-conspirators....He hasn’t
Sessions is an integral part of this coup. Obvious to anyone with more than 3 brain cells to rub together after he first recused himself
Most definitely. Qanon has become a quasi religion.
It isn’t Sessions job to defend Flynn or Manafort.
Try again.
