George Papadopoulos was drinking at a Chicago nightclub last Thursday and got loose lips again.

He slipped up and told a fellow drinker that Sessions encouraged him to get more info about Hillary's hacked emails. After the fellow drinker went to the press, George P tried to backtrack.

This makes you wonder whether Sessions has made a deal with Mueller's team to save himself.

Papadopoulos said during their conversation that “Sessions encouraged me” to find out anything he could about the hacked Hillary Clinton emails that Mifsud had mentioned.

With all due respect, I'm not sure I fully buy a story told by one drunk to another drunk at a bar.

But, clearly, Papadopoulos did have information that was valuable enough to the investigation to offer him a plea deal, so there may be some element of truth to the story.

I would caution, however, about spreading this story as 100% gospel truth because that risks being fodder for negation/deflection when the REAL and FULL truth is finally revealed.

The dems desperation is getting really thick.

The more they attack Sessions, the more it indicates that Sessions is going to drop the hammer on the corrupt DOJ/FBI people.

I would be willing to bet Mueller already knows whether whatever P said was true or not, signed, witnessed, and cross referenced from at least three sources. That's what's taking so long, is making sure everything lines up before it goes public, whatever his findings.

The other wild card is that now that Mueller has interviewed a lot of people in the West Wing, there are no telling how many wires are being worn every day in the White House.

wouldn't that same logic apply to yourself?

The more [you] attack [Mueller], the more it indicates that [Mueller] is going to drop the hammer on the corrupt [Trump/Trump's] people.

Yes, of course. But now you've gone & confused them.

So Sessions knew he had to recuse himself. In too deep.
