[Mr. Jeeves]

Does anyone even remember Trump's great address to Congress Tuesday night?

Didn't think so.

[dp0622]

And I WAS REALLY GOOD for a few days if you saw my posts!!

I was GETTING angry at people who were not stop talking civil war and coup.

Thanks for reminding me GD!

48 and still the blood pressure rises too fast.

[nopardons]

No....I don’t think that they’ve thought that far ahead.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Agree.

[nopardons]

Yep.

[Alberta's Child]

When was the last time this country had an Attorney General who was a "fighter?"

Get real. The U.S. Attorney General can't carry himself like any other administration official -- including the President. He's a lawyer first and a political figure second.

[nopardons]

You’re ignoring Holder & Lynch.

[captmar-vell]

That was my first thought also,

I said why is President Trump playing their game with having Sessions recuse himself, that’s ridiculous? As if hes just another NWO bench warming Bush spawn fool occupying the Oval office,

So it appears he wasn’t playing along,

Sessions either thinks Trump is a weak-kneed RINO type and takes it as if a serious inquiry any rabid fevered brain idea the Democrats can dream up, any mud they can sling to stick on the wall must be answered in all seriousness,

Or he knows something more that we don’t,

Very poor judgement,

[Grampa Dave]

Okay my younger Friend.

You had been doing good until today.

Take your baby aspirin and don’t buy into Junk/Fake news like this.

My bp without drugs after all of this stuff today at this momment. 110/68.

Scan the headline and if it comes from a liberal news source, use the Nancy Reagan program. Just say no!

I don’t believe in the bs out by the liberals.

[Salvation]

**If this account is true, who leaked the story to the press?**

My question exactly.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

[Alberta's Child]

Yeah, they were fighters. Who were they fighting against?

You're comparing Trump's attorney general with two morons who would have been selling used cars for a living had it not been for affirmative action in this country.

You might as well use Rosie O'Donnell as a measuring standard for supermodels.

[Meet the New Boss]

As to the Sessions recusal, he already told the Senate committee in his confirmation hearings that he would recuse himself from anything that came up about the campaign.

I don’t remember his exact words, but it was along those lines.

So that wasn’t new and had already been given away, and was probably in order to get confirmation from the McCain-Graham group.

[txhurl]

I don’t believe this story, unless it was Trump faking them out again.

It was reported ABC? got a long-range camera and hired lipreaders to watch the Oval Office.

[V K Lee]

It’s hard to believe Sessions would not discuss this with Trump before speaking on such an important issue. Hold the tongues, and follow the story. This might be a Trump ploy. A cat has a habit of poking the mouse before it is consumed. If I were BO’B, at this moment I’d be on my knees....praying for intervention of some type. Trump is sly as a fox as well as thinking moves ahead of his opposition. My money is on DJT and BO’B will take on water, if not completely go down in rapid fashion.

[HotHunt]

From what I heard him say in his press conference, Sessions only recused himself from investigations of Russian interference in the election during the campaign.

Now that he has recused himself, the Senate needs to move on approving his deputy AG before the Obama acolyte that's the deputy now, takes charge of the investigation.

There's nothing to stop Sessions from investigating Obama for illegally-wire-tapping Trump Tower before the election. Or Hillary's email scandal. Or the Clinton Foundation scam.

But to investigate anything, there has to be some evidence that a crime was committed. You can't just go after your political enemies willy-nilly.

Whatever evidence Trump has that caused him to Tweet these allegations against Obama, may be enough but we don't know what that evidence is yet, do we?

[nopardons]

Holder was "fighting" against the House Committees and Lynch against the lily livered GOP.

Yes AA had a lot to do with where both Holder & Lynch are today, but neither are complete "morons".

[Mouton]

Meanwhile a few more days slip away as the media ties a. An to our tails. F this crap and let’s move down the road. Don’t give them anything and eventually the echo chamber will go quiet.

[damper99]

I made a prediction here on Mar 1 that Sessions would be forced out by the end of next week (Mar 10). I think he’s going under the bus like Flynn.

[dadfly]

wow. this is likely fake news. so many gullible people here.
