Yup, we could end up with Kris Kobach *shudders*

Also, I think it's becoming harder and harder to argue that Trump had nothing to do with Russia. If that's the case [that he has no ties with Russia] why was he so angry that Sessions recused himself? DUH it's so obvious! He's was depending on Sessions to block any attempts at investigating the ties via a special prosecutor or an independent commission.

Is it not obvious that he is guilty of something? Maybe not outright collusion but it's clear that there is something fishy going on. Innocent people don't need other people to run interference for them to avoid being investigated.

Word is that the stuff leaked about Jared is coming from Bannon since Jared took his #1 lackey spot . There should be an investigation.

Trump demands complete unquestioning loyalty. You are either with him or against him. If he thinks you're against him, he has to destroy you.

Sessions is probably seeing the writing on the wall. If he can keep his job until Trump is gone, Pence is pretty likely to keep him. But it doesn't take much for Trump to turn against you. The moment he doubts your loyalty, his paranoia grows and before long you're sent packing.

here's a small sampling of his daily drivel:

Trump’s latest unhinged tweetstorm could hasten his downward spiral
Trump is now attacking his own Justice Department as he renews his assault on the courts. It could further undermine his agenda.
Trump just gave the world the middle finger. Here’s what has to happen now.
Democrats need to regain ground on the level of the states.
Trump is about to do something terrible and destructive. The GOP must own the consequences.
Isn't this outcome basically what Republicans wanted all along?
Trump is likely to pull out of the Paris climate deal. The rationale is based on lies.
In reality, Trump is threatening untold harm to America and the world.

This new CNN scoop shows the drip-drip-drip of Trump’s Russia scandal will continue

Republicans continue to resist a full accounting. That is getting less and less tenable.
Trump’s latest tantrum will hurt hundreds of thousands of people. Here’s how.
Premiums are going to soar, and the reason for it is Trump.

A reporter asked a GOP candidate a tough question. Then the candidate allegedly assaulted him.
Greg Gianforte allegedly assaulted a reporter after he had the audacity to ask him his position on the GOP health bill.
The enormity of Trump’s scam is coming into view
Trump has sold out his voters on multiple levels.
The walls are closing in

Will Senate Republicans do all they can to learn the truth about Michael Flynn? Here's a key test.
Did Trump obstruct justice? Rod Rosenstein may have just provided another clue.[/b]

------

the dude practically invented trump derangement syndrome.
While Trump is running around harassing whoever is on his mind from day to day, other countries are looking to close the gap left by the voluntary withdrawal by the USA from the position of world leader on so many fronts (e.g.: humanitarian):
"Canada will step up to play a leadership role on the world stage as the U.S. turns inward to focus on its own national interests, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said in a major policy speech today.

...
Freeland praised the U.S. for being the "indispensable nation" for the last 70 years, paying the "lion's share" in blood, treasure, strategic vision and leadership in promoting peace and prosperity. But she said many of the voters in the presidential election cast ballots "animated in part by a desire to shrug off the burden of world leadership."

"To say this is not controversial. It is simply a fact," she said."

I think it is possible Sessions might resign. I've been reading he has already threatened to do so.

The link is posted upthread, and he has offered to resign.

????? The DoJ is part of the executive branch, the AG is part of the president's cabinet, and the president can fire the AG for any reason or no reason at all.

You have a strange view of the word "independent".

I agree that we should demand a high degree of competence and impartiality from the DoJ, but nevertheless, since the DoJ is not part of the judiciary nor the legislative branches, it must be part of the executive. There is literally no other place for it to be.

Well, story is Sessions offered to quit.

And the issue is that Trump does not know that the AG is supposed to be independent, hence his anger at Sessions for reusing himself from all investigations Russia since Sessions is not objective as he worked on the campaign. But again, Trump does not understand this.
