Trump says Sessions’ chief of staff Matthew Whitaker will become acting attorney general.

Occam’s Razor right back at ya:

Then why would Trump select him as AG?

If even you know that he’s some kind of compromised, establishment Republican, don’t you think Trump would?

I’m not trying to get all Q on everyone , but what if his resignation was part of this huge plan because he was an original target?

What if Sessions needs to be on the outside, so he can testify ? And so an AG who was not part of the 2016 campaign could take over and start some kind of new phase on this investigation? As well as end the Mueller nonsense?

I know it’s out there, but why would Trump get so easily bamboozled by Jeff Sessions of all people???

Screw Faux Snooze, plenty of places to get news these days.

I believe you’re correct. I had a feeling that after this midterm election, Trump was going to go ballistic and start cleaning house. If the libtards thought Trump was, how did they put it?...”out of control”, they haven’t seen $h!T yet.

This is a result of the Red Wave in the Senate. Now President Trump will be able to nominate Sleepy Sessions replacement without having to worry about what Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski thinks. On January 3, we will have a true majority in the Senate.

So Chuckie is demanding the new guy recuse himself from the Russia probe?

Sessions will get his walking papers this weekend today

Fixed. Bye-bye Sleepy Sessions.

And what happened?

Crossfit is terrible - I know its beneath me but I get a distinctly fascist vibe when I'm around that crowd. Their gym used to be across the parking lot from the boxing gym which I attend. I don't like people yelling - they do lots of yelling at people err I mean encouraging them.

This new guy is a crossfit attendee - well we've all got our weak points. I'll try not to let this prejudice my take on him

I’m inclined to give a pass to a starting tight end on a ‘91 Rose Bowl team.

Sessions was a plant as soon as Trump decided to run. Trump threatened to take down Obama, Clinton’s if he won. Ryan and other Rino’s hatched the plan for Sessions to be AG and stop the investigations. It worked.

And earlier Sen.Ryan at the gym where he watches all those muscular weight lifters work out. For hours on end.

Making a pass at a tight end?! max americana was right crossfit is gay! I digress. More importantly who won the 91 Rose Bowl

Oh oh oh I know - bow down to Washington - go Dawgs!

Hawkeyes are perpetually overrated. They do have first class linemen and TEs though.

Didn’t know Howie was on at this time.

Thanks! I’ll stream it.

Carr on Oprah’s stumping for dims … Noprah Winfrey. Lol.

Not confusing. He was a plant from the get go- to stop the investigations into Obama and Hillary. Ryan and other RINO’s didn’t want Trump to investigate, they didn’t want him as President. They bring in Sessions as a patsy for AG who never told the President he would accuse himself. He laid down like a kicked puppy for Mueller, Rosenstein. He never had the President’s back nor the 62M people who voted for him.

Our own party told the President if you dare to remove Sessions we will not confirm a replacement. Think about that, our party not the DEMS.

It was all planned and implemented by our own party.

[Engedi]

Yep the McCain incarnate.

[bryan999]

I’m not buying that at all.

So you’re telling me Trump couldn’t smell all that from a mile away ??

You must think Trump is a real dummy....!

[Engedi]

Which when Sessions threw himself to Trump, Trump, rewarded his loyalty with the AG position. They knew Trump rewarded loyal supporters. Sessions was a plant to stop investigations into Clinton. Clinton has FBI files on many people in Congress and throw in our party rino’s, no trumpers they knew getting an AG who would recuse himself would stop it.

Sessions recused himself for meeting a Russian ambassador in his office as part of his job as a Senator. Then he talked to that same ambassador at a dem/republican gathering in which they all talked to the Russian. It was such a lousy excuse and he even admitted it later he shouldn’t have recused himself. He could have un-recused at any point after that- but chose not to.

[Engedi]

Oh and Sessions kept his many loyal friends in Congress. Repubs told our President if you are to fire him, we won’t confirm a replacement. Tell me how Sessions KEPT HIS FRIENDS IN CONGRESS. It was a win win for him. Ag position, keep Trump from investigating and had friends who would fight for him to not get fired.
