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.
Dunno anymore. He has a “great relationship” with Rosenstein (?) but even Steve Bannon told me a couple of seeks ago that Sessions was “scared.” Wouldn’t say of what.
The Democrats are not going to make Hillary anything. She’s been thrown away like a broken toy.
They are going to make Obama Speaker of the House if they have the votes to remove Pence.
As annoyed as I am with Sessions’ apparent behavior, nothing would make me happier for your theory to be correct. I would admit I was wrong about him and be glad about that!
Sessions damn sure is aware that Rosenstein was in on the FISA warrant. He should at least be going through the firing process of Rosenstein.
>>If Eric Holder had testified to Congress that he was recusing himself from certain matters and it was later found out that he was coordinating the treatment of such matters, he would rightly be accused of lying to Congress and would deserve the five year sentence for such lying. Now here we have Jeff Sessions recusing himself from certain matters...
*********************************************************
Excellent point!!
We cannot afford to carelessly throw away a single vote in 2018 and 2020.
><
Excellent point.
>>Sessions will be despised in history as a traitor to his President.
*********************************************************
...as he is despised in current, real time, right now.
Despicable betrayer, traitor, who put his selfish sinful desire to be AG BEFORE the interests of his president, his country, and us deplorables.
>>4. Pence becomes President.
5. The Dems make Hillary the new Speaker of the House.
6. Dems impeach Pence.
7. 2016 Election reversed. Hillary is now President.
**********************************************************
The even more sick thing is if this actually happened, you’d hear a collective RINO sigh of relief that they no longer have to have the stress and burden of pretending to lead.
......”Sorry. You’re the one who hears the opposite of what Trump (and Sessions) are saying”......
I preference what they are actually ‘doing’ and am very satisfied they’re doing the job we put them there to do. The rest are just words.
>>I’m sure some sort of blackmail was employed to make him not only take the job, but to make him a ball-less nonentity while in it.
**********************************************************
Well, as I’ve read here multiple times, ole Marxine Waters says Obama has his “database on everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY!”, so who knows....
>>Sessions sure as hell has no pride
Being castigated time after time by Trump
*****************************************************
I don’t know about his pride. I believe Sessions is so sanctimonious, self-righteous and stubborn that he would never, under any circumstances, willingly leave.
At this point, I don’t even care if he IS somehow working undercover taking down HRC and the deep state.
He is so blatantly and unconstitutionally aggressive wrt asset forfeiture (and mj), I suspect the FF would still consider him an enemy of Liberty. JMHO.
For Sessions, for both words and deeds, he's a big fat zero when comes to all the Deep State matters that he's recused on.
>>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!!!
***********************************************************
and deserving of the same fate as the rest of the traitors!
>>Sessions will be gone. It’s just a matter of when.
****************************************************
85 more days until November 6.
Let’s pray for strong Patriot WINS.
Indeed.
Strong Patriot wins is what we need.
“I think it’s a game, a well played game.”
= = = = = = = = = = =
