Trump blasts Sessions over criminal charges against GOP lawmakers
By Brett Samuels - 09/03/18 02:50 PM EDT


 

President Trump on Monday slammed Attorney General Jeff Sessions over criminal charges brought against two Republican congressmen in recent weeks, suggesting that the Department of Justice (DOJ) had endangered GOP hopes of retaining both seats in the November elections.

"Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department," Trump tweeted.

"Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff," he continued.

He has a point. Considering all that is going on with the Dems and their DC Swamp minions, and the DOJ goes with this, now?

The longer Sessions puts up with this very public abuse without offering his resignation the more I'm convinced he's there for reasons besides the standard job description.

That's what I've been wondering for ages now.  Why does he put up with constant abuse from Trump?

Does he like abuse or is there something else going on?

When Sessions recused himself, Trump of course was not pleased and made it known.  Trump was warned by members of his own party that firing Sessions would be a political mistake.  Trump backed off but since then even liberals like Graham stated their dissatisfaction with Session. 

I see it as Trump is backed into a corner and the only half way palatable way out is to make Sessions squirm until he resigns.  Only problem is, who would Trump replace him with, especially if the GOP loses the majority in the mid terms?  His replacement could be even worse.

Quite honestly I would take Eric Holder back. At least he acted like he had a damn pulse and was involved with issues current to the date on the calendar. When I read what Sessions drones on about in speeches I have to check the date of the new source because I think it is some shit he said in the 90's. Hell, last week Jeff went after Murphy Brown.

Agree. So just fire his sorry lame excuses recused arse already. Be done with it. No matter what Trump says or does, he will draw the ire of the left, so just do it.
