Who sent out the "loyal supporter" memo? It's like an army of, douchey wind-up cacklers was set upon us. Please stop.
Someone tell me what kind of "loyal supporter" Attorney General wakes up one day and recuses himself from the most high profile witch hunt in history - without even the courtesy of a SIMPLE PHONE CALL. I didn't know "Loyal Supporters" made a practice of surprising their bosses in such a way.
"But Jeff was there in the beginning."
Yes - for himself. In his very pro-Trump constituency, he risked NOTHING and gained everything by backing Trump.
We have seen nothing good from Sessions or his office in 6 months. At his best he's been hapless, worst he's been highly disloyal. The only thing we know for sure is that he's going after pot-smokers.
If the president doesn't have faith in him, he should leave. Soon.
Free Republic is beset by media’s ‘fake news’ and Trump’s ‘counter fake news’.
Yup. Spot on.
I thought that we had been told, belatedly, that every one in Congress KNEW that President Trump was not, in fact, under investigation. If he is not under investigation re:Russia, why would Sessions recuse himself? He had to know what the others in Congress knew. But there are the congress-folk, still going on about investigating Russia and Trump.
“Sessions offered his resignation months ago, and the president refused to accept it.”
Alberta, I’m not saying that that didn’t happen, but how do we know that it actually did? And as far as things are today, if it did happen, that was then, and now is now. And Trump has made it abundantly clear that he would like another AG. I guess what really bothers me is that in the Executive Branch, EVERYBODY there works FOR THE PRESIDENT, and yet we have people who work for him who fail to do what’s asked of them or openly challenge him via leaks. The time for being NICE is over, he needs to hire a dozen Scaramucci’s and give them explicit instructions as to what he wants done and have them get back to him weekly or more often if necessary with reports on their results. I am sure that’s how Trump ran his businesses, and its how the business of the country should be run as well.
“It was Rosenstein who panicked and appointed a special counsel, all of which would have died down in a few weeks.”
And who was he to do that without consulting the President? I simply can’t believe that Trump would have allowed Rosenstein to do it.
“I will not be a happy Trump supporter if Trump fires Sessions...Trump looks really bad with the news out...”
Davey, you’ve got your coonskin cap stuck up your duckhouse!
“Whether the leak is true or not about tillerson you know he has to be watching this behavior
I hope that trump realizes he is making a mistake with these bully tactics with a loyal supporter”
I agree with you on this. I think if Trump is gunning for Sessions, he should STOP being public about it - it puts the wrong sort of stress on the guys like Tillerson who ARE doing great work. While I feel Sessions made several wrong moves - Trump needs to work through this crap without spooking the other critical members of the team.
“He was only able to do that because Sessions recused himself and he wasted no time doing it too...How convenient. “
So both Sessions and Rosenstein f*cked the President, and they both need to be relieved of their jobs.
Trump quickly closing in on Pooch!
Someone's gotta flush-out the concern trolls.
The last time President Trump took it upon himself to serve as his own legal expert, he ended up with Robert Mueller. LOL.
I just posted another thread where Trump says Sessions never was loyal he just liked the big crowds.
Rosenstein only had the authority to appoint a Special Counsel because Sessions recused himself. No recusal, no Special Counsel and MAYBE, just maybe, we'd be making a little progress on the President's agenda.
Only if one cherry picks statements made in the Holt interview, as the press does. Conventional wisdom about that interview is 180 degrees out of rig with what was actually said in that interview.
“The Attorney General works for US and is not President Trumps private attorney.”
WRONG! The Attorney General is a Cabinet level Secretary in the Executive Branch, and serves at the pleasure of the President. So the while the work “he does” is for the country, but “he can do it” only so long as the President permits him to. None of any of this involves “being the President’s private attorney. the President has his own private attorney.
Timing.
schedule shows he had a meeting about it
wapo comes out with story he met with russians
he recused same day
I dont understand why people dont get this
think Watergate
if you see it starting to hit the fan you have to protect youself in dc
he knew he would be on hot seat..of course he has to recuse
Rudy says it was the right thing to do legally
But even if he didnt need to legally..he needed to knowing a Watergate situation might happen..remember..he cant know all that went on or how bad it is going to get
And this isnt just about trump.its also about flynn and manafort
So much for Sessions being a “loyal supporter” of Trump when he let’s Trump hang out to dry every day when he gets attacked. Loyal support my foot.
Gee, I can’t find it either. Could it be that it’s Fake News you are repeating?
Nope..didnt you see the guy who just said he posted a thread on it
I did not say the Attorney General does not serve at the pleasure of the president.. Law and order should be the pleasure of any president and that is exactly what AG Sessions did, followed the rule of law. None have a clue regarding all matters of the ‘rule of law’ AG Sessions is following. Congress, a republican controlled Branch of government, no less, has handcuffed ‘law and order’ since President Trump won in November.
Congress is the swamp.
