Trump told Sessions to reverse his decision to recuse in Russia probe: report

Trump told Sessions to reverse his decision to recuse in Russia probe: report
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 05/29/18 07:59 PM EDT

President Trump reportedly told Attorney General Jeff Sessions last year that he should reverse his decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian election interference.

Trump made the usual ask of Sessions during a dinner at the president’s Mar-a-Lago estate in March 2017, the New York Times reported Tuesday. The meeting reportedly came shortly after Sessions announced his recusal.

The Times reported that special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating the incident as part of his sprawling investigation.

Sessions last year declined to walk back his decision to recuse himself from the federal Russia investigation, spurring Trump to publicly voice displeasure with his attorney general over several months.

Last time I checked, the AG of the United States is not the President's personal attorney.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

@kevindavis
The President is the Chief Executive.  He is responsible for enforcing the laws passed by Congress.

As the Attorney General, Sessions reports to the President and is the Chief Legal representative for those enforcement actions.

So Sessions may not be his personal attorney but he is Trumps Presidential attorney.

gosh the hate just eats you NTs up doesnt it.

Looks like obstruction of justice to me.


Not to me. Trump didn't ask Sessions to decide anything in his favor but to not recuse himself and thus feed Trump to the dogs.

Image result for sgt schultz i see nothing i know nothing

When the President asked Sessions about his recusal from Russia and from Hillary, Sessions then recused himself from having to answer to the President. He also recused himself from un-recusing based on previous recusals to decide whether or not he should recuse. He then recused himself from work for the next week and recused himself from having to answer why he recused.

Mr. Sessions, 'What time is it?' I don't have to answer that! I recuse myself from having to know what day or time it is from now on! I RECUSE MYSELF FROM MY ENTIRE JOB AND FROM LIFE ITSELF! I AM RECUSED!

Just give me my paycheck and leave me alone.

@endicom The AG declared he had a conflict of interest.  The President asked him to stop being conflicted.  Trump fed himself to the dogs.

I wouldn't go to prison for Trump either.  Hang in there Jeff.

fantasy land, asking Sessions to stay in place is not obstruction.  Firing Mueller wouldn't be obstruction.   

Over a year and multiple millions and you all still haven't found a crime.

Just think of the progress we could make against the leftists if Conservatives would actually work together.

Related to the purpose of the special counsel?   So they've found proof of collusion?   where?

Apparently you're ok with federally funded fishing expeditions.   Now thats an example of what our Founding Fathers intended.    /s

I'm fine with the investigation that Trump's DOJ initiated, and that Congressman Trey Goudy praised as exactly what Trump asked for.

Nor would you have to. There's no crime involved, you see.

No I don't.
I'll wait for the investigation to end, before I conclude that.

I agree.  I don't see how this could be construed as obstruction of justice.

I believe you overestimate the intelligence of the American voter.  You believe they are rational like you, but the same people voted for Obama twice.

This is how the rats are construing Obstruction of Justice.

Yes, it is going to be a long hot summer, @Once-Ler.   

You're right, I was thinking about actual obstruction of justice and you pointed out that the left is talking about the propaganda version of obstruction of justice.

I imagine Trump will probably split the baby this summer, by keeping Mueller and firing Rosenswine.  Sessions will be given the choice of taking over the oversight of Mueller, or will be asked to leave so he can get someone in who will.
