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.
That would be a great meme, with Sessions in an oversized battle helmet with a fearfullook on his face.
I wonder if Huber reveals what he has, when the FISA warrant application is declassified.
Lol, self-esteem. As if you’re a psychologist & not some guy on the internet.
Here’s a hint: go get laid for the first time in 10 years:)
I agree with what Trump says, therefor I oppose Trump's judgement.
LOL!
but then some people want to hear what they want to hear rather than understand the man.
Black is white.
Up is down.
Trump's criticisms of Sessions is really Trump's support for Sessions.
Sessions' recusal, really means that Sessions is doing something.
Sorry. You're the one who hears the opposite of what Trump (and Sessions) are saying.
These Sessions fanboys are delusional.
No problem. Thanks.
>>Sessions is a coward.<<
That pitiful little man has disgraced himself beyond any hope of redemption. If I didn’t despise him I could almost feel sorry for him.
Hit home, did it boy:) YOU started the personal insults with the self-esteem nonsense. You’re a guy who comes out here & attacks fellow conservatives.
Like you said in a prior post you love monkeying with other poster admitting that you are the troll.
It’s outrageous what this strange little man Sessions has done to Trump.
I try not to think about him until I see his troop of fanboys come out here.
You made a mistake Trump, FIX IT!
Thanks for admitting what you are. Stop “projecting” it’s unhealthy.
Gramnasty's "Holy Hell to pay" comment was about Trump firing Sessions.
I would never give an inch in an argument with the likes of you.
Like you have admitted; you troll fellow conservatives out here on FR for whatever substitute of pleasure you lack in your personal life. That’s not healthy. If I thought you were a poster with good intentions I would easily engage you respectfully.
This poster does not understand an implied threat. So frustrating.
