Trump Issues Statement On Sessions' Recusal
Zero Hedge ^ | 3-2-1017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 03/02/2017 5:26:49 PM PST by blam

Just released by the Trump:

* Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional. This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win. The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election and now, they have lost their grip on reality. The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total witch hunt!

They have NO PRINCIPLES, they care ONLY ABOUT THEMSELVES, they are willing to TRASH and NOT STAND UP FOR a sitting Senator who was a college of theirs for years!!!! NEVER MIND giving the American people the MIDDLE FINGER after WE gave them the entire government after 100 years!!! I HATE THESE BASTARDS!!!!

Funny, I got exactly the same dissemination from Sargon on this comment:

It already HAS. The F’NG RATS ran this interception back from the 4yd line into our end-zone with our side just f’ng STANDING AROUND.

They have established the narrative that this admin is in no place or authority to run them down for the crimes they’re getting away with.

Whatta way to blow *******76%******* of Americans supporting your agenda and goals in the off-the-charts speech you just gave.


GOPe is closing in for the kill. I guess it IS gonna be a street thing, which we’ve fought for 16 years to prevent.

I tell you what this is REALLY about.

It’s about keeping Sessions from finding out who is LEAKING the information about Russia! (which as Trump pointed out is the real crime here)

I can guarantee you, OBAMA is involved.

Look, I’m pointing out what I perceive as a tactical mistake.

I could just join the Amen Chorus and pretend I don’t see it.

But I won’t.

I want the President to give NO free concessions to the left and the press, EVER.

Give them nothing to leverage against you.

Alla y’all can call it hand-wringing all you want. I don’t care, I can take it.

But I will continue to point out when I see mistakes made on our side, in the hope that someone sees it and makes corrections.

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE, PRESIDENT TRUMP! Start PROSECUTING all of the DemonRats that SHOULD’VE been prosecuted during the past 8 years, such as Eric Holder, John Koskinen, Loretta Lynch, Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, Susan Rice, John Kerry, John Podesta, Anthony Weiner, John Brennan, and perhaps even Odunga himself. And YES, go after that scumbag Soros too.

He COULD have done so...after REFUSING to have Sessions recuse himself, and appearing WITH Sessions to denounce the charges and NAME NAMES, announce firings and investigations for leaks.

But he decided to surrender instead. Now NOTHING Sessions does will be given ANY legitimacy. And Obama holdovers can run roughshod over them with one fake, meaningless leak after another.

WHERE. THE. F. IS. BANNON???

All President Trump needs to do is to appoint a special prosecutor with broad powers to investigate any communications, during the campaign season, between elected or appointed officials at the U.S. Fed level and the Russian diplomatic team (or any other high-level Ruskie).

If Sessions “ends up under the bus” I think that would mark the end of the whole MAGA project and Trump will cease at that moment to get anything at all done..

“He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional. “

i.e., he didn't mean to lie.

That's what it will sound like to the Press and the Dems.

Having successfully stuffed the news cycle of the Speech. They now get another 24 hour pass to push the perjury BS.

Any halfwit community organizer knows about a thousand cuts and plays for the long term. Those cuts are stacked up now and sequenced for launch. You see there is this little house in Kalaroma...

Maybe this is the 3D chess I am not yet aware of.

Maybe the two tactical mistakes I saw today, are traps.

I do hope it unfolds this way, because if there is a broad investigation of ALL candidate contacts and Russian officials, guess who gets burned?

Hillary Clinton.

I sincerely hope that there is a long game in place here.

oy f'n vey is right. I feel like Bannon somehow got gagged and bound and shoved in the dungeon this week. The raised voices on Fox News, they're egging this on.

Bring out the Gatlin Gun. Mow down 50 RATS publicly.

Stand back and see what RATS come up to get mowed down next.

Blood and brains splashed as far as the RATS' eyes can see. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.

Sir, there are going to be mistakes. I'm just don't see any cause for trepidation.

I feel that the administration handled this situation about as well as could be expected, if not perfectly, and I'd like to hear exactly what you think should have been done differently.

Saying that I believe there's been some overreaction on our side doesn't mean I'm in the "Amen chorus". I'm in neither the overreacting nor the Amen chorus, actually.

I think the administration's response was eminently adequate, and until I hear more about this unspecified "optimal" response that you appear to be chasing, I'm satisfied with it...

Wasn’t something similar said about Gen. Flynn before he ended up under the bus?

Timing is everything.

Flynn's stuff happened as the Senate democrats were obstructing cabinet picks. It's an important position but not so important that you will let it delay the rest of your cabinet. Plus, I assume there was something else probably the misleading of the Vice President but there was probably other little things that we are unaware of.

The attorney general is one of the more important cabinet positions. If you let your opposition pick him off for a stupid semantic misunderstanding then you may as well fire your whole cabinet now and go it alone. Because they will come after them for J-walking if they think it will get them fired.

Finally at some point if you let the Democrats get away with this crap you will never be able to get anyone to accept a position in your cabinet. Why would I take a pay cut to be insulted, threatened and trashed for trying to serve my country? So the President needs to nip this BS in the butt now.
