I'd like to think that even the GOP wouldn't stomach it but I'm not completely convinced that they won't. They mouth platitudes about how troubling Trump's antics are and then let them continue unobstructed.
Now remember everyone...

It's GOP members in the Senate behind looking into the Russia stuff. At almost every turn it's been a Republican furthering the investigation.

This isn't a democrat witch hunt, as some seem to want you to think.

Democrats might be talking about it, but republicans are running it.

OMG thanks for the best laugh on the net today. Sorry I can't rep you again.



Sessions on his way out? Well he did lie about contacts with the Russians, and Flynn was fired for lying to Pence. Wasn't Pence the head of the transition team at the time? How could he not know about Flynn? Sessions should be fired. So should Kushner. Well we know where that's going. Nowhere.

Lies are convenient when they work in your favor. Why not fire Sessions and try to find a yes man to take his place? Mueller would be easy collateral damage. It didn't work for Nixon when he fired Archibald Cox, his special prosecutor. Nixon was still impeached. It won't work for Trump either. Pardons are an admission of guilt.

Just a small -- highly relevant point.

I was a strong Trump supporter, but this is it. After Trump's unfair, baseless and inappropriate attacks of Sessions, I no longer support Trump. I've been a Sessions supporter for years. This is how Trump treats Sessions who did so much for the campaign and stuck his neck out for it? That is really messed up .

Trump supporters, surrogates and people in the administration and Republicans need to oppose Trump's actions against Sessions.

It's good that you recognize your red line. Too many here will excuse anything.

It's outrageous. Trump used Sessions and people who are supporters of Sessions and unfairly disparaging and casting Sessions away is using and casting away Sessions supporters who supported Trump.

Correction: Nixon was NOT impeached.
The impeachment process had been initiated but Nixon resigned so, no impeachment occurred.

The "distinction" of being impeached applies to 2 Presidents: Andrew Johnson and Slick Willy Clinton, both of whom remained in office. Strange how that works.

There are some rock solid Southern firebrands but obviously Sessions is not one.
Sessions is the US Attorney, not Trumps protector. Did you listen to his swearing in ceremony regarding the constitution. Every attorney I have hear indicates his recusal was the correct action, even the Fox News experts.
