Zero Hedge ^ | 3-2-1017 | Tyler Durden

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!

“My opinion? He was laughing at them. I’m sure he heard all the “Sessions is going to resign!”, crap, and was laughing at them.”

We can speculate. AG Sessions knows. That smile was good.

“Trump needs to realize this is a duel to the death and the Dems and Obama’s shadow government will stoop to any levels to bring his Administration down.”

They mean to imprison and impoverish him. They will kill his family.

Then, they will come after US, his supporters. Pence will toe the NWO line like a GOPe stooge.

This is #WAR.

Call your Congresscrats. Call their friends. Write your state people.

And prep.

If you have the ability and can get them to look my comments over, I am sure I can add tactical skill to the team.

What they seem to be missing here and not making clear is that Sen. Sessions was asked about a fake dossier, the news of which had broken during that testimony.

Franken asked if he has met with Russians about THAT specifically and he said no. Which was the truth.

The President said, and I quote: “He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional.”

Democrats don’t care about intent. Democrats care about made-up scandals, and President Trump just played into their hands.

Of course the Democrats don't care about intent. Fortunately, they're not in charge, and the majority of this country does care about intent. But nothing the President has done here has "played into their hands". That's just hysteria.

This was a mistake, and if you cannot see it, you are BLIND.

What precisely was a mistake? The President's response? BALDERDASH.

What Sessions did was a mistake, of course. But it was a relatively minor one. People make mistakes all the time, and this one is a NOTHINGBURGER.

If you expect no mistakes to be made by this administration, you are living in La-La Land. When one does happen, it doesn't mean the sky is falling—certainly not in this case.

When dealt a bad hand, the administration has to respond as best it can. That's what it just did, IMHO, second guesses notwithstanding.

Everything the President said in his response makes perfect sense to me, and I'm glad he said it.

There's no way to magically take this whole incident and "make it didn't happen", so the admin dealt with it in a reasonable manner. What else do you expect, if not that?

You're going to need lots of Tums if you don't expect this kind of crap every single day from the Media, whether it be for big mistakes, small mistakes, or even no mistakes (on days when there are none).

There's absolutely no justification for the abject hand-wringing that I'm seeing, and that's what is playing into the hands of the Enemy more than anything else.

This administration is less than a month and a half old, for God's sake!

You are spot on. There is an old saying. Those who are kind to the cruel will be cruel to the kind.

It bears repeating. Bravo, Mr. President!

I was very precise.

I cited the one sentence I take issue with, in an otherwise-flawless statement.

YOU DO NOT CONCEDE ONE SINGLE PICOMETER WITH THE LEFT. They are already making things up out of whole cloth, so when you say “He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional," you have just conceded ground.

You can call it hand-wringing and hysteria all you want.

I call it, calling out some bad tactics.

I call it being a realist.

Believe what you will; I have my opinions about this, and I hope the President operates without concession of a single MICROpoint from now on. In this environment, where the press lies and twists things beyond all recognition, YOU DO NOT HAND THEM A FREE CONCESSION.

Some of the Dimocrap crybabies were still in training pants during Bush v. Gore but that is when this all began.

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.

Good! Those Rats smell blood in the water and they ARE overplaying their hand. Fight back, Mr. President. Don;t make the same mistake as GWB. He left everything unanswered and as a result, we lost Iraq and ushered in Øbama.

Agree. Don’t continue to feed the emotional hysterics of the left. The win is in. We will act like winners.
