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.
When the hammer comes down, it will be glorious.
><
Yes!!
“Ok, either this is really bad news, because we have a President talking/acting like he’s isolated/alone...”
It’s a fact. Nothing has changed since he first threw his hat in the ring. One extraordinary patriotic man against a 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state, corrupt courts, both parties, and the propaganda media.
Jeff Sessions aiding and abetting the deep-state treason co-conspirators is what’s truly beyond the pale
In one Tweet, he referred to FBI attorney Lisa Page as Peter Strzok’s “lover, the lovely Lisa Page.”
In this Tweet, he refers to former-GPS Fusion researcher Nellie Ohr as Bruce Ohr’s “beautiful wife, Nellie.”
Perhaps this is Trump sarcasm, since both women may face criminal charges?
On the other hand, Trump knows that EVERY word he speaks or writes will be subject to hyper-intensive belligerent political analysis.
I mean, why hand a potential political gift to American feminists?

She probably spilled the beans on them. That’s why he called her “lovely”.
“That’s mid-March, two months after the next session begins.”
And then he can appoint that same person for another 210. Or he can pick another of the 50 Senate confirms for 210. Or he can make a recess appointment. Or he can move Rosenstein up if he chooses. He’s not boxed in like so many around here pretend that he is. Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998.
There’s no reason that your little tale of woe has to play out the way that you wrote it. The GOP can approve the guy that Trump wants.
When the hammer comes down of Sessions it will be glorious. DiGeneva says it will be after the election.
Trump is probably our last hope in a whole lot of ways.

>> “Perhaps this is Trump sarcasm, since both women may face criminal charges?” <<
When Trump speaks about a woman, he usually praises their appearance.
I suspect it is an outgrowth of his time in business.

How about “in every way!”

“Don’t ask me again. It’s common knowledge the GOPe would remove Trump.”
I’ll ask you as much I want - prove it that all the GOP senators would impeach Trump. You made the claim. Prove it. Give me links from all 51 GOP senators that they will impeach Trump.
Lol, you trust the GOPe. Flake, Graham, Burr? Really? They would slit Trump’s throat in a minute along with enough Democrats to impeach them.
You can ride with that gang, but I don’t trust them.
“I mean, why hand a potential political gift to American feminists? “
Gift?
‘If your enemy is angry, irritate him”—Sun Tzu Trump
The idea is to make the the left more shrill than they already are...To switch their silicon chips to overload.
It’s not something that is permitted in the current business environment.
But it used to be done commonly from politics to all other spheres.
Point is they have to get an impeachment first.
So you don’t have any proof that GOP senators will impeach Trump.
.
Thank God Trump has his own rule book!

“e posted links that said no such thing, and essentially called me “Perry Mason” for figuring out that he was an idiot.”
One must keep in mind that FR is infested with GOPe trolls, paid Soros hacks, defeatists, surrender monkeys, pearl-clutchers and comicbook readers.
They won’t, because the Reps are what Impeaches.
“They won’t, because the Reps are what Impeaches.”
:-)
“So you don’t have any proof that GOP senators will impeach Trump.”
Just their past actions...which is good predictor for their future actions. The party of bush, the GOP, want Trump gone as bad as the rat party. This is not that hard people.
