GOP senators to Trump: Lay off Jeff Sessions
by Al Weaver | Mar 2, 2018, 12:01 AM

Republican senators believe President Trump should leave Attorney General Jeff Sessions alone and still have confidence in him despite the president's constant barbs over Twitter.

"I think what he says about the attorney general is inappropriate," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. "I do believe a special counsel is the best way to go when it comes to looking at DOJ, FBI problems with the FISA warrant process, but Jeff Sessions can't do the things that President Trump is urging him to do because he's recused himself and I think it's inappropriate for the president to criticize him."

Trump this week slammed Sessions for asking the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General to investigate alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by the Obama administration and said department lawyers should do that work instead so they can act on it immediately.

Let's say that I hire a female travelling salesperson. She is expected to be on the road most of the time visiting clients and making sales. Now let's say that this applicant hid the fact that she was several months pregnant. After a couple of weeks she tells me that she is in no condition to travel.

So, should I pay her for doing nothing? Or should I replace her with someone who can travel?

If Jeff Sessions is unable to fulfill his role as AG, regardless of what the reason is, he should resign and get out of the way. Then someone else can be brought in who can do the job. As it is, he is a useless mannequin who is nesting on a job which he admittedly cannot do.

Sessions has to go. He should have never taken the job to begin with, and Trump made a huge mistake in choosing this slippery weasel to be the AG.

Lindsey had his hands on his hips when he said this.  After he was done, he crossed his arms, turned, and stomped off.

You need to get over the election snowflake.

I'm just kidding.  I can't resist an easy joke sometimes.

Graham can at least wait until McCain's body is cold before he slides into his spot in front of the microphone.

How does McCain seem to show up in every thread?

Good grief; the one thing that Trump is doing right lately is questioning Sessions!

Demonstrate to me a single time when Trump's judgement - policy wise or legislatively wise - wasn't completely achieved successfully other than When a SINGLE - likely brain damaged and retribution obsessed - United States Senator backstabbed him with a thumbs down after assuring him it was a thumbs up.

McCain needs to die with that betrayal on his slate.  Methinks that is the least of the betrayals he'll need to account for.

Other than that ACA betrayal by McCain, Trump has won.  I won't go into it all, because you don't seem to have a big picture of what has transpired this past 14 months.

Sessions is fine as long as Trump thinks he is. 

Look, the Deep State has DEMONSTRABLY plotted and criminally acted to keep Trump from victory and conduct his vital duties.  That's a hard onslaught to overcome, it takes time.

Let's be patient, okay?

Cracks in the protect Sessions wall are beginning ...

GOP Rep. Gaetz: ‘If Jeff Sessions Does Not Appoint a Second Special Counsel, Then We Need a New Attorney General’
Breitbart, Mar 2, 2018, Jeff Poor

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told fill-in host Jeanine Pirro that if Attorney General Jeff Sessions declines to appoint a second special counsel to investigate wrongdoing within his Department of Justice, then he should be removed from that post.

According to Gaetz, an Inspector General’s report would be insufficient given the report doesn’t necessarily mean charges would be brought by the Justice Department against wrongdoers.

“If Jeff Sessions does not appoint a second special counsel, then we need a new Attorney General, judge,” he said. “Because you’re right — even if we learn more horrifying things from the Inspector General, we can’t actually prosecute somebody for those things because we would need somebody to be able to bring that case. And the Department of Justice and FBI obviously won’t be bringing a case against themselves. So, Jeff Sessions needs to get rid of this mindset that is a dereliction of duty, and he needs to do what Congress has called for and appoint a second special counsel to get to the bottom of this.”

If someone can tell me what the difference is between Sessions and Holder/Lynch I would be impressed.

Yes. I get that Sessions hates pot and MS13. Fine. But in terms of his office he is behaving in an identical way that the Obama administration was.

I mean this seriously. Sessions would have been a perfect fit for Obama. He is just like them.

I thought this article was going to be about Jeff Sessions being fired.
