Sessions fires back at Trump's latest slam: DOJ won't be 'improperly influenced' by politics | Fox News

Previously Sessions has kept silent when Trump attacked him and the DOJ.
Why has Sessions finally grown a backbone and is pushing back at Trump?
Has he finally decided that Trump is going to be gone soon?
What does he know that has not yet been made public?
Are other GOP officials finally going to jump from the U.S.S. Trump before she sinks?
Who will be next?
Inquiring minds want to know.
The walls are closing in on Trump.
Grab the popcorn.
Tic toc. Tic toc.

The theater, that is hard to see what is going on behind the next sets curtain.
Sessions would have been tossed long ago, if they were not pulling a sting.

One other thing.
Trump runs the chance that All of his cabinet members resign on Session's firing. This would essentially leave Trump twisting in the wind, leading to an ultimatum to resign or be impeached for misdemeanors. A minor Constitutional Crisis.

BTW, does anyone think that other World leaders actually believe Trump?

Trump's attacks on Sessions really **** me off, and so does the Fox news pundits criticizing Sessions. They don't even have a valid complaint against him. They're just showing they're just political hacks and don't have any real conservative values. Sessions is a more principled conservative with a record than anyone else that would be appointed AG or these political hacks criticizing him.


Trump really has some qualities I dislike as a strong supporter, but he's the best we could've had or ever had on most of the issues. That tells you just how disgraceful are political parties are, just globalist puppets.

Why would it bother Trump so much for Sessions to recuse himself from the Russia probe?

So yes, after the Manafort/Cohen legal show impeachment is in fact on the tongues of many a Democrat...
Yes, I guess I did miss these 200 plus times. What I have seen over and over is that a few democrats want impeachment but the majority does not.

If Trump fired Sessions he would have to get a replacement approved through the senate, can you guess the questions that they might ask his new appointment. Pretty obvious that they would not approve anyone that meets his criteria of firing the special prosecutor, I don't know if that person exists. Maybe Sean Hannity or Mark Levine would be his prime choices.


If he fired Sessions I would expect that even republicans would take action, maybe I'm overly optimistic. Firing an FBI director and a DOJ head in his first two years would be historic. He got some really bad advice from his brain trust that thought firing Comey was a good idea.

Because it takes a strong A.G. to keep the special counsel in line AND to give clear parameters to begin with unlike what has happened with Mueller who's been allowed to do whatever he wants.

Had Trump appointed the proper A.G. instead of the political whor# who lied by omission just to get the job like he has now Mueller's investigation would probably be done now as no evidence of Russia collusion has been found to date which was the whole reason Mueller was brought in to begin with.

Mueller has gone so far off topic he should be shut down or brought back on topic, but he won't...

Sessions has acted appropriately. Trump has not. Special investigations take time, and Mueller has had a lot to investigate.
