"oh nooos. A senator used campaign funds to go to a political convention at which he attended an event of a conservative organization."

These people are disgusting. Sessions was a keynote speaker at that convention. I found this info in a Yahoo Finance article:

"In this case, the Heritage Foundation was one of the organizations that sponsored the Global Partners in Diplomacy conference, the one at which multiple news outlets reported Sessions and Kislyak spoke following an address Sessions gave to attendees. The State Department was unable to confirm which dignitaries were in attendance at both the RNC and corresponding DNC events, or whether Kislyak attended a corresponding DNC event, which would've occurred following the initial WikiLeaks dump of hacked Democratic National Committee emails.

A spokesperson for the Heritage Foundation told Business Insider in an email that Sessions provided a keynote address at a defense and national-security luncheon attended by roughly 100 individuals. The spokesperson said, "I believe he was speaking as a senator on Armed Services" during his address, not as a Trump campaign surrogate."

Hmmm, Rudy as the AG, interesting, maybe that has been the plan all along.

And all of the Obama holdovers need to be gone now, tonight if possible.

Still p*ssed off that Trump beat your favorite candidate? You mention “backstabbing.” You obviously know all about that since that is exactly what you are doing. Nice little jibe at Trump at the end—sounded like something straight from DU.

Trump’s statement was stronger than anything that Sessions himself said in his defense. Sessions didn’t take the opportunity to agree with Trump that the attacks against him are merely a “witch hunt” during his interview with Tucker. Are you going to talk trash against Sessions now, since he was much more “weaselly” and weaker than Trump was on this topic? Someone on Fox News tonight even said that in private Trump questioned whether Session should bother with the recusal, but that Sessions wanted to do it.

Come on, just admit it, you obviously hate Trump. It’s clear that that is what prompted your smart-a**ed, distorted, anti-Trump post. Conservatives certainly don’t need enemies with “friends” like you.

Isn’t that just that Heritage Foundation event where various ambassadors came up informally and he talked with some of them?

We continue to sit back, play defense, and have our establishment elected officials capitulate to the press/DNC and hold our people to standards the Democrats don’t hold theirs to.

I don’t think that’s illegal. The Dems are in a desperate death spiral.

Eric Holder teaches us that the U.S. Attorney General can be a criminal, a liar, venomously ideological, corrupt, colluding, held in contempt and overtly dishonest with the American public.

All while keeping your job as Attorney General.

Sessions will be fine.

Trump needs to buy stock in brass knuckles and take a few lessons from Obama on intimidation and disregard for decorum. There are a few faces that need bloodied, figuratively speaking of course.

McCain, Graham and Franken come to mind.

There is much rotten in DC!

-First Flynn
-Second Sessions (the ultimate goal is to get Sessions to fully resign)

Time for Trump’s people to go on the offense.

Sessions gave them the opening by recusing himself.

You cowards are so full of shit. Sessions did the right thing, nothing else. He was part of the Trump campaign, it just follows naturally that he should recuse himself from any investigation into the campaign. I'm am so sick of you weakling pukes that clutch your pearls every time the msm tells you to clutch your pearls.

The left is opening a full broadside on Sessions.

They must try to derail him simply because if they don't, then Sessions will open investigation after investigation into the LEFT'S crimes and coverups.

Either they sink Sessions or suffer prosecution.

They're desperate!

Trump needs the clean house with his communication team. They suck balls. Always playing defense or putting out fires. No strategy, no consistent messaging on social media, not utilizing all the tools and resources. They should have their own studio and broadcast daily and nightly on Facebook periscope YouTube etc. Even Trump just posting a 2 minute clip on Facebook each day to keep in communication with supporters would go a long way. Very bad media mgt.

If you think back, these are the same tactics they used to get rid of Nixon. They attacked his cabinet members viciously and mercilessly 24/7. They found a way to get rid of Agnew, replaced him with Ford. Then Nixon was all alone.Donald is making one very serious mistake: He believes that the Democrats and media are human. With natural human feelings and desires. They are not human, therefore they cannot have human feelings. They are hate filled soulless beings, totally devoid of feelings and emotions. Their god is power and the worship of it totally consumes them. Their father is Satan and his bidding they will do. The Democrat Party was conceived in the darkest, deepest pit of Hell with Satan as its head many years ago.

I haven’t condemned Sessions for it, but the statement is correct. Your statement about recusing himself is also correct.

What’s going on here is a question of tactics and how morality has been destroyed by the left. The left tossed out the window recusing oneself with Lynch thus destroying the honorable act because if both sides don’t abide by it, then it’s meaningless. Thus to people who’ve seen what was going the correct tactic was not to give into the witch hunt, a position that Trump agrees with. Sessions and guys like you haven’t seen the truth or refuse to believe that the old system is dead. By failing to sink to the level of our foes when fighting back is how we will lose everything. Thus the conflict.

BTW, I honor Sessions for being a man of integrity, but urge you take a look at how much that’s helped him here. His morals mean nothing because the left is fighting a war to knife. Once we’ve won we can go back to building good systems but until then if we fight fair, while they fight dirty then we will lose everything.

Donald is making one very serious mistake

Who the hell do you think you are? Trump got here without your help. He'll complete the mission with out your help. Despite your whining like a little girl every time the msm tells you to whine.

Actually I think the only mistake Trump has made is Pence. Pence boxed him in on Flynn and set off this entire chain of events. I believe he is not loyal to Trump. Notice how the media leaves Pence alone now?
