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.
Well damn man, do something then! You’re getting tedious with this crap Donald.
My neighbor has voiced a similar prediction and I don’t believe it one bit and I don’t see the numbers showing the Dems taking the house. I see the opposite, I see so many people (the unforgotten) at Trump rallies the same spirit during the GE that voted in Trump and these people are not swayed by Fake news and lies from the the left they will vote.
Trump is the last hope we have to clean these rotten Gov. big shots out. Obama infested our Fed Gov with unqualified idiots based on AA etc. Heck, the Director of the Nashville VA graduated from a Puerto Rico nursing school and then got his MS in nursing there. He has no degree in hospital admin. or any MBA. Look at the damn Czars. I would like to see all of these idiots FIRED. Hell, there are many retired military medical service corps types who have experience.
Your not alone.
You have council members in the Music City that live in Detroit.
What a plan that would be!
“The President has effectively convinced America that he doesn’t.”
Do you ever pay attention to what Congressional Republicans say to Trump about what will happen if he fires Sessions?
I agree. Trump could get rid of him anytime. So why doesn't he?
Maybe his 'calling out Sessions' is an joke between them. Maybe he does it to keep his critics guessing and keep them busy chasing rumors.
Who knows.
No offense or anything, but that is nonsense. He is accused of that daily.
“The senate is a lock to convict. I can’t think of a single one that didn’t vote for hillary rotten clinton.”
Well, that’s a new revelation for me. Give a link to 51 Republican senators who sent out a press release that they voted for Hillary.
I’m pointing out Sessions is not doing his job. Period. I don’t know why, but he’s bollixed up this administration to no end.
I saw her at the last hamfest. Her radio was for sale, slightly used on Sundays and then only to talk to good gobemt lawmen. She was over by the treeline digging for some reason. Hope she got a good deal.
I am getting so tired of explaining why Trump won’t fire Sessions. The Congressional Republicans have warned him that he will be impeached.
Go look at the March 20th USA Today story, along with The Hill, where Lindsey Graham said that the Senate will impeach Trump if he removes Sessions.
I guess you’re waiting for the GOP to SPELL IT OUT. Never mind the 1000’s of shivs they’ve put in Trump’s back.
When Lindsay ‘the ball gargling’ Grahman said, ‘there will be holy hell to pay if Trump fires Sessions’, he was just fooling about. Lindsay is not really the spokesman for the party of bush, the GOP, he’s just some obscure fag talking out of his ass...
*whew*
Ok, either this is really bad news, because we have a President talking/acting like he’s isolated/alone...or he’s playing a cat/mouse game.
No way is Trump so stupid as to signal his weakness, vulnerability?? This has got to be a ruse.
Please...
Same difference.
I know we had an idiot mayor named Barry who was an Obama type. She took 10K Syrian Muslims from him and dumped them in my area. Thanks for the INFO.
