Trump slams Sessions on Twitter, says AG is hurting GOP in midterms
Fox News ^ | 09/03/2018 | By Andrew O'Reilly

Posted on 09/03/2018 3:54:42 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

President Trump lashed out at Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a string of tweets on Monday, accusing him of hurting Republican chances in the upcoming midterm elections with a series of Justice Department investigations.

“Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department,” Trump tweeted. “Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff.....”

The president apparently was referring to the current investigations into GOP Reps. Duncan Hunter of California and Chris Collins of New York. Fox News has reached out to the White House for additional clarification, and the Justice Department did not immediately respond.

Hunter and his wife, Margaret, were indicted last month on charges of illegally converting $250,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses and filing false records, while Collins was indicted earlier in August on insider-trading charges. Prosecutors pinpointed the alleged insider trading to June 2017, after Trump took office.

Trump also tweeted: “The Democrats, none of whom voted for Jeff Sessions, must love him now. Same thing with Lyin’ James Comey. The Dems all hated him, wanted him out, thought he was disgusting - UNTIL I FIRED HIM! Immediately he became a wonderful man, a saint like figure in fact. Really sick!”

Monday’s tweets continued a long-running gripe Trump has had with Sessions ever since the attorney general recused himself last year from the Russia investigation. Last month, the president tweeted that Sessions "doesn't understand what is happening underneath his command position" and told "Fox & Friends" that his attorney general had "never taken control of his department."

Are you still grieving over your beloved McCain?

Take your meds. The milquetoast Pence will never be my President.

OK STUPID PEOPLE! LISTEN UP!

The “Experts”
But… SESSIONS should appoint a 2nd SC in DC aka THE CORRUPT SWAMP
But… SESSIONS should appoint a 2nd SC in DC aka THE CORRUPT SWAMP [team of less than 20 typically] & wait 2-4 years [take a gamble]
But… SESSIONS should appoint a 2nd SC in DC aka THE CORRUPT SWAMP because unlike the CLINTON EMAIL CORRUPT CASE [as demonstrated by the FBI/DOJ people FIRED/REMOVED] this will be conducted faithfully and honestly [like MUELLER]
But… HUBER has not ‘directly’ interviewed several witnesses therefore the appointment of HUBER by SESSIONS [and therefore the IG] is not genuine
But… SESSIONS & HUBER are following standard DOJ open/ongoing investigation policy by not discussing [making public] so therefore nothing must be happening [FIRE SESSIONS!]
But… HUBER [ability to prosecute + empanel a grand jury outside of DC [90%+ voted HRC (2016)], who already began the investigation(s) late last year w/ assigned team of 470 investigators (attorneys) + IG + legal jurisdiction across all 50 states, is not a ‘special counsel’ so therefore nothing is being done
But… POTUS is attacking SESSIONS via TWITTER so therefore he is not working on behalf of the people’s interest (or POTUS’) [D’s/LEFT LOVE/TRUST SESSIONS!]
But… interestingly, if nothing is being done behind the scenes, why are so many FBI & DOJ senior officials being FIRED and/or REMOVED from their respective positions of power? Who is AG? Who must sign off on each removal? DOJ in charge of FBI?
But… interestingly, if nothing is being done behind the scenes, why are there 50,000+ sealed indictments across the US [what % = USA v. X?]? Coincidence vs. HUBER start?
But… interestingly, if nothing is being done behind the scenes, why are many ‘powerful’ CEOs, members of Congress/ Senate, resigning? Coincidence? Example: Pre_POTUS did the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE indicate wanting to leave politics?
But… interestingly, if nothing is being done behind the scenes, why are human trafficking arrests SURGING?
………………….
Clickbait & opinions vs logical thinking.
Direct communication necessary.
Trust yourself.
Think for yourself.
WWG1WGA!
Q

If you idiots are so quick to trash Sessions and Q,
Start LEARNING! NOW!

Getting sick of you idiots.

Sessions, Romney, McCain are backstabbing, betrayers, enemy of the people.

The Republican Party & Chamber of Commerce are such losers.

I seem to recall people complaining that the last 2 AG’s didn’t believe in the Rule Of Law, and played politics with who was prosecuted.
Strange many of the same are now complaining Jeff Sessions won’t do this.

I have a question for you that never seems to get an answer. You say there are 50,000 sealed indictments. Just who are these indictees? Those 50,00 sealed indictments means an awful lot of grand juries issued these indictments and yet not one leak? Come on.

I think you completely missed the point of why "many" are complaining. Read Trump's tweet again.

There aren't 50K sealed "indictments".

There were 50K sealed documents created since last November. Of those sealed documents, an unknown number of them are indictments and an unknown number of them have already been unsealed since their creation.

I suspect most of the sealed indictments that remain are related to gangs, drug law enforcement and illegal immigration, all subjects that Jeff Sessions is not recused from.

I have no reason to believe that Rod Rosenstein is creating any indictments related to the Deep State coup against Donald Trump, matters of which Jeff Sessions is recused from.

Trump is questioning the timing. He’s calling the timing political. Your Ben Sasse link doesn’t address that point nor do you.
