Isn’t that interesting how this comes out over the weekend, particularly after Friday’s liberal media meltdown over Mueller’s nothing burger of an indictment of one single charge of lying to the FBI.

Sessions recused himself...also approved by Trump.

What's your source?

Trump didn't approve the recusal.

And a recusal, under oath, as a condition of his confirmation, is a recusal. It's an admission under oath that he can't be unbiased and that he can't lead a legitimate investigation.

Defense lawyers for the swamp, in court, would have a field day with that.

That’s exactly what the Demorats do....create doubt.

Sessions' own words has created doubt. Add to that, Trump's words about Sessions has created doubt about Sessions.

Oh, the “big picture”. Why didn’t I think of that. I’ve just been looking at the facts.

As a result, Nunes said he has instructed committee staff to draw up a contempt of Congress citation for Rosenstein and for FBI Director Christopher Wray.

"Contempt of congress" seems to have no teeth without an order from DOJ. But since Sessions is recused, who in DOJ is going to do that?

Another reason to fire Sessions and put someone in there who can do the job.

Look.....the ‘left’ has been deliberately and consistently tried hanging the fate of two of Trumps most senior members from the get go...Sessions and Tillerson of which I choose not to be a part of....and that is that.
So critique as you will but as long as Trump lets them stand as they are I will support his decisions.....it’s his call.

The Sergeant-at-Arms for the House and the Senate, have the power to arrest and incarcerate.

Unfortunately, recently, Congress has instead sent referrals to the DOJ, which in this case would be a big problem.

By all means. How can you drain the swamp, if you don’t dredge it?

You can refuse to criticize Sessions all you want, but again, the criticism of Sessions has not been just mine. It's been Trump's, over-and-over again.

Of course it's Trump's call, but Congress has threatened Trump if he were to fire Sessions.

I suspect that Trump is waiting for the right time.

Wendell: [Viewing the bodies of a drug gang shooting] It's a mess, ain't it, Sheriff?
Ed Tom Bell: If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here.

LINK: And according to The Washington Post, Strzok exchanged the messages with Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer who was also assigned to and later removed from Mueller’s team. Strzok and Page, who works for FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, were reportedly having an extramarital affair.

Thinking FBI should be disbanded. Set up counter terrorism investigations in the Military - not allowing any prior FBI to transfer.

If current FBI employees want to be in law enforcement they can put on a blue uniform and spend several years learning about the rule of law on the street with real law enforcement heroes.
