Rohrabacher says Sessions should resign if he won't bend to Trump's will
LATimes ^ | Aug. 25, 2018 | Michael Finnegan

Dana Rohrabacher, the embattled Orange County congressman known for his close ties to the Kremlin, said Friday that Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions should resign after showing disloyalty to President Trump by refusing to shut down the Russia investigation.

For a Republican incumbent already in danger of losing his seat in a district that favored Hillary Clinton over Trump in 2016, the remarks carried the risk of serious political damage.

I agree with him.

It is good that he had the courage to speak up. I hope he gets reelected,

Note the bias in the headline: “bend to Trump’s will”

Sessions is supposed to do as the boss asks. No bending of the will involved.

New owner, same old left-wing totalitarian-loving LA Times and accessory before the fact to mass murder.

Biased article.
It’s not about bowing to Trumps will.
It’s about equal justice.

Sheesh! Extreme bias in just the first 15 words. And this is supposed to be a “news” article?

Trump why can he not also instruct them to go out there and investigate all of the Clinton scandals? This is ridiculous.

The liberal media reports every event as if it make the possibility of Trump or conservatives losing greater.

But all events also increase the possibility of Democrats gaining and retaining power forever.

If the sun rises, it may hurt conservatives and Trump, or it may help Democrats.

They don’t report news or even make news. They just make it up now.

Dana Rohrabacher, the embattled Orange County congressman known for his close ties to the Kremlin...

The Democrats used to criticize Republicans Republicans for distrusting the Kremlin.

130 years ago, Democrats criticized the abolition movement. In To Kill A Mockingbird, the people who wanted to lynch Tom Robinson — who confronted Atticus Finch at the courthouse door — would have all been Democrats.

When you own the parts of society that propagate information, you can get away with this sort of jiu-jitsu move.

One would suspect that Congressman’s Rohrabacher’s “close ties to the Kremlin” are about as substantiated as Trump’s “collusion” with the Russians.

Dana is my Rep.

I never heard he was “embattled” over ties with Russia.

Following 9-11-2001 it took him awhile to recover from his relationships with Afghan Muslims, however. That situation put him in direct historic opposition with Russia.

BTW he is using social media, YouTube very effectively with a hard hitting ad against his dem opponent.

The left’s lie de jur is that we all have “deep ties with the Kremlin”.

Anyone who supports America as founded is deemed a “traitor” by the alinskyites. If they are acusing us of something, you can bet that this is what they are doing.

First, Sessions is supposed to perform the duties of his job under the constitution and laws. 98% of his job is defined without Trump saying a word. Jeff should’ve been doing those things - e.g. complying with Congressional subpoenas not stiff arming the Congress.

The way “equal justice” is applied by the LA Times, it is something of an oxymoron.

If “justice” is to be served, then a great deal of unequal pressure must be applied to balance the score, er, scale. If “equal” is to be served, than all members of society have to be reduced to the lowest common denominator, by fair means or foul.

I wish I didn’t have to bend to my bosses will and just recuse myself from any hard work.

The LA Times twists the interaction as “bending will”. It is not about ‘bending will’, it’s about communication and resolution between two approaches.

Sessions does not have to ‘bend to the President’s will’. He needs only to take into account the President’s approach.

LA Times is trying to cast Sessions as under coercion. It’s the LA Times. They are programmed to make a negative of everything involving Donald Trump.
