Those who claim Sessions is prohibited from investigating the Trump campaign because he was part of that campaign are either lying or just wrong, and that includes Sessions himself. True, Sessions was a Trump supporter. He spoke out in support of Trump. But he was not a paid member of the campaign staff.
By recusing himself on the grounds that he was a Trump supporter sets precedent that no Trump supporter can work on cases involving the election campaign. Legal eggheads all now base their ridiculous argument that only Democrats and anti-Trumpers can investigate anything to do with the election.
This is the best protection that Hillary Clinton could buy. Sessions should be fired. And he should apologize to the President and the American people for his betrayal.
It comes down to this, no recusal no Mueller. If you were Trump how ticked would you be?
Take the hint, Jeff...
Put yourself in Trump’s shoes, say a friend of yours didn’t stand up for you, and because of that you and your family are facing years of investigations and possible/probable indictments. I’d beat the bastard to the ground.
Is it possible the President will fire Sessions when he can make a recess appointment of his replacement?
“This is the best protection that Hillary Clinton could buy. Sessions should be fired. And he should apologize to the President and the American people for his betrayal.”
No, Sessions should voluntarily resign, and offer an apology to the President and the People! Trump is right, Sessions did him, and our country a huge disservice by accepting the AG position.
If he wants Sessions gone, the first indication will be that he fires him.
What can Saint Jeffery investigate.
1# Comey....nope, connected to Russia
2# Hillary..nope, he spoke poorly of her on the campaign trail
3# Loretta lynch...Nope, connected to Hillary
4# “Unmasking”...Nope...connected to Russia
Pot smokers? Yup
Feds can steal your cash? Yes.
Doctors afraid to perscibe pain killers. yes
Sessions offered his resignation. Trump wouldn't take it.
I cannot help but think Trump and Sessions are working this thing together. Currently theleft is defending Sessions, but what happens if/when some big indictments come in a couple of weeks/months.
When asked if Sessions would step down, he very happily said no. Now, why would one of the, if not the most trusted member of the senate cling to this job? He could very easily say that the job might be a younger mans job, especially a pit bull type, and there is more corruption than he even realized. I am going to pass the torch. Totally saves face. Of course the usual reasons like money and padding ones resume don’t fit. Why wouldn’t he want to retire and enjoy his family and other interests. Why would someone with so much integrity want a job where his boss thinks he let him down? It really makes no sense unless they are working this together to create a distance between the POTUS and the AG because there are some big names about to be indicted. Plus, the people calling for Sessions resignation a short 6 mos. ago are now saying they will defend him if Trump fires him. This has created an aire of sympathy for Sessions with the media and the dems. Good strategy.
Could the recuser-in-chief undo his damage by un-recusing himself? One can think of good rhetoric to support this, but maybe I’m being too optimistic.
Or, he may be plotting some really big sting with Sessions.
Time will tell.
(1) Sessions is NOT going to get fired or resign
(2) Sessions recusal was BRILLIANT because it allowed Trump to show America how he was being targeted by the Deep State, and exposed the Republicans as well
(3) Think of Sessions as Police Chief "Moose" during the DC Sniper. He was brought out as a figurehead while the real people did work in the background.
The presidents open hostility toward his own AG does not advance building the wall, repealing Obamacare, reducing taxes and regulations, or MAGA.
It’s stupid. It hurts his administration. C’mon man!
Boy! The Left sure are nimble. They can turn on a dime.
One minute they hate Comey, the next minute they love Comey.
Maybe the Comey situation gave him the idea on how to play the Left with Sessions.
Outrageous act by Sessions.
Turned over control of DOJ to the ENEMY.
Now the scumbag won’t leave!!!
Trumps comments baffle me. If he doesn’t like Sessions then why trash him? Just fire him. And the idea that he’s derelict in prosecuting Hillary is nuts. Trump himself said his administration would not prosecute Hillary.
If he fires Sessions then he’ll probably be stuck with Rosenstein as an acting AG for the rest of his term.
Sessions is fearlessly prosecuting the “little people”,
by asset forfeiture and drug crimes.
Sessions allows the “big people” crimes to go free.
His only success is immigration.
I will say it for y’all, Sessions is a COWARD!
... like all big govt losers.
