knapplc Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 At least people are asking the right questions, and demanding answers. While that's still happening, there's hope. 2 Link to comment
Red Five Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Interesting and very believable theory: I have had the exact same thoughts. Sessions has done a lot of things that can rightfully be criticized. But, he finds himself in a situation where he did the right thing and the President is livid about it and trying to make his life hell over it. It appears to me that he is giving him the middle finger and is going to hold on. If he doesn't cave to the pressure, I'll have new found respect for the guy. His life right now probably isn't the most pleasant. Make Trump fire you. If he does, it will be one more nail in the coffin of his Presidency. Sessions can't fire Mueller since he has recused himself from the investigation, no? Rosenstein would have to do the job. So is Trump trying to get Sessions to fire Rosenstein? Link to comment
TGHusker Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 ^^ so basically Trump admin has nominated some one who can protect his rear flank from investigations into his money dealings wt Russia. I wonder when and how this whole spider web will unravel. Link to comment

It could go many ways - but one thought is Sessions goes one way or another, and Trump pressures Rosenstein to do it. When he says no he fires him and then it's a free for all - no rules. If the firing starts we begin the true Saturday Night Special comparisons, and hope that someone in this day and age has the balls and the conscience to do the right thing and stand up for America. The shameful thing is it shouldn't have gotten this far. Link to comment
RedDenver Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Maybe the 25th Amendment will come into play if Trump pisses off enough of his cabinet. I don't think Pence (or any of them) is above stabbing Trump in the back to gain power. 1 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Trump is totally obsessed wt Sessions. He brings it up again - wht the Lebanese PM by his side - kind of an inappropriate time don't you think He knows he is in deep waters and he blames Sessions. This guy is acting like the proverbial boy with hand in cookie jar. He is guilty and he feels the snare tightening around him. http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/trump-pick-jeff-sessions-attorney-general/2017/07/25/id/803741/ President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would not have chosen Jeff Sessions to serve as attorney general if he knew he would recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Trump spoke about his recent criticisms of Sessions during a joint White House press conference with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri. He pointed to the recusal and the leaks that are pouring out of intelligence agencies as reasons why he's "very disappointed" with Sessions. "He should not have recused himself almost immediately after he took office," Trump said. "If he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me prior to taking office. And I would have quite simply picked somebody else." Link to comment

zoogs Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/7/25/16025150/jeff-sessions-donald-trump-resigns I think this sums up my views about AG Sessions: "...a true believer in Trump's policy agenda. But he hasn't been a lawless crony." There's a certain amount of respect you have to have for that. We can try, but not always stop people with what are in our views the wrong policy priorities from coming into office. But at least they, too, respect America. Link to comment

knapplc Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Trump fires the guy in charge of Ethics who actually wants to enforce ethics rules, who upon his termination expressed concerns with the Trump Administration, and replaces that guy with this guy. 1 Link to comment
