Sessions was a terrible AG.  Hopefully this time Trump will do some research and pick someone who will serve him well and be willing to clean up the corruption in the DOJ.

And, I think that could have/should have been predicted.  Being a senator requires a whole different skill set, one where they have to get along and work together and all that.  Sessions had successfully been a senator for a long time.

I wish him well, and hope for a much better fit for that job.

“This is the Red Line” Eric Holder Panics After Rosenstein Loses Control Over Mueller Probe
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/11/this-is-the-red-line-eric-holder-panics-after-rosenstein-loses-control-over-mueller-probe/

Holder's response to Sessions's resignation tends to confirm what I said on another thread:  getting an Acting AG to replace Sessions will almost automatically kick Rosenstein off the oversight role in the Mueller investigation.  This is very good news, I think.

The media is already calling it obstruction.

Didn't see that coming, either.

I had to check that to be sure you weren't joking. Whitaker has no reason to recuse.


It’s flimsy, but this is what Schumer is citing, as the reason.....


In an appearance last year on CNN, Whitaker laid out the plan he could now use to limit the Mueller investigation.

“So I could see a scenario where Jeff Sessions is replaced with a recess appointment,” Whitaker said in July 2017, “and that attorney general doesn’t fire Bob Mueller, but he just reduces his budget to so low that his investigation grinds to almost a halt.”

*********************

“Given his previous comments advocating defunding and imposing limitations on the Mueller investigation, Mr. Whitaker should recuse himself from its oversight for the duration of his time as acting attorney general,” wrote Schumer.

Have to disagree, coming the day after the Dims take the House, looks like Trump is runnng scared, that he has something to hide. Even as a NT, who thinks Trump is to stupid to know anything but saving his skin, I'm astounded at how poorly the WH has handled this...

Yep Mueller's got the goods for sure. He just hasn't found the right time over the past two years to spring the trap.

LEFT WING CALLING FOR PROTESTS IN THE STREET

Nobody Is Above the Law—Mueller Protection Rapid Response

Search 900+ events by zip code:

or browse by state
BREAKING: PROTESTS CALLED FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 5 PM LOCAL TIME
Donald Trump has installed a crony to oversee the special counsel's Trump-Russia investigation, crossing a red line set to protect the investigation. By replacing Rod Rosenstein with just-named Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker as special counsel Robert Mueller's boss on the investigation, Trump has undercut the independence of the investigation. Whitaker has publicly outlined strategies to stifle the investigation and cannot be allowed to remain in charge of it. The Nobody Is Above the Law network demands that Whitaker immediately commit not to assume supervision of the investigation. Our hundreds of response events are being launched to demonstrate the public demand for action to correct this injustice. We will update this page as the situation develops.
 
--

Donald Trump just crossed a red line, violating the independence of the investigation pursuing criminal charges in the Trump-Russia scandal and cover-up.

Trump putting himself above the law is a threat to our democracy, and we’ve got to get Congress to stop him.

We're mobilizing immediately to demand accountability, because Trump is not above the law.

Please make note of the date, time, and description below to confirm that the host is able to organize the event on such short notice! In general, rallies are suggested to begin @ 5 PM local time. But individual local events may vary—please confirm details on your event page.  ...

Not all of the protests are Nov. 8. Check their website for one near you (so you know either to avoid a certain part of town or to be prepared to protect yourself against Antifa).

Appearances notwithstanding, I don't think he's running scared.  And even as a NT myself, I would have to stay he is a lot smarter than most NTs realize.  I think our shrewd POTUS just waited until after the election to bear the teeth of his offense.  I would have done the same thing myself.  I wouldn't be surprised if Trump were to open up a sealed indictment from D.A. Huber targeting Mueller (the Uranium One scam, for example).  To do so would infuriate the Dems, but I think he would steamroll right over them with a plethora of additional arrests associated with FISAGATE and even much worse stuff from the Clinton Mafia Foundation.  I believe he will transform himself from looking like a guy who is running scared into a guy who is bent on utterly destroying the Deep State.

We'll just have to wait and see, of course.  (We may have to wait until after the pending Caravan mess is resolved, but we might see the FISA Warrant Declassification happen pretty soon anyway.  (It will prove that the Mueller investigation was an illegal witch hunt--and set Trump on a roll.)

The number of venues (900+) matches something I saw on another leftist site during the Kavanaugh hearings.  If I recall correctly, they said that they had 400,000 (armed?) protestors ready to mobilize in 900 cities if Kavanaugh wound up being confirmed.

Lindsey Graham advised Jeff Sessions to recuse himself.  I read Jeff Sessions letter of resignation and he was truthful.  He did serve president Trump.  He was following policy and making progress.

This is all about recusing himself. 
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.

Interesting perspective and I have to agree, I don't think Pres. Trump is running scared at all. He has more backbone, confidence and tenacity then most and running scared is not in his character.

@Chosen Daughter that may be, but the left is unwilling to let this President do what he has the full authority to do.  Sessions should have never allowed Rosenstein to give Mueller an open-ended investigation of Trump and should have never allowed for the investigation in the first place.  On what grounds and what proof was the investigation even started; other than rumor???  Sessions recusing himself is one thing, but failing to do his job, which is overseeing his deputy AG is quite another.

It is absolutely no secret to many of us, that Rosenstein was involved/connected to Clinton/Obama and Clinton/Uranium one and this investigation is no more than a cover up giving Clinton and those involved time to cover up their corruption.

So how is it the Sessions turned a blind eye to all of this for this period of time?  Even though Graham may have asked Sessions to recuse himself, certainly Sessions knew full well the conflict of interest in Rosenstein appointing Mueller, yet he did nothing.

Now the left is calling for protests in several cities in just about every state?? Mob rule by rioting???  I would lay you odds that the majority have no idea what the heck they are really protesting against other than what the liberal lunatics have been feeding them. To this day there is no evidence of collusion and the DEMS saying now that they have power the investigation will continue.
So they fuel this fire once again!

IMHO this is the beginning of the left's continued push to win by using any uncivil mean necessary.  At anytime the right could easily decide to push back and then we will see a civil war in a political sense being fought in the streets.

Funny you are talking about liberals.  Trumps son in law is a liberal.  Ivanka,.......liberal.  Cohen, Amaroza......liberals.  Jeff Sessions Conservative.  What is also funny is the praise for Lindsey Graham.  He was the one who advised Jeff Sessions to recuse himself.

This administration is a circus.

I just wonder why there is no condemnation for Lindsey Graham?  Please read this.

I'm thinking about going to one to take some pics.  I want to be able to compare the crowd size vs the number of people who signed up vs how it is reported on the news.

But it means going downtown (and back) during rush hour.

Donald Trump Joked Ivanka and Jared Kushner Are ‘Democrats’ Amid Their Constant White House Presence: Woodward Book

By Jessica Kwong   On 9/7/18 at 2:24 PM

resident Donald Trump reportedly brushed off complaints from his senior staff that his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner constantly sat in on meetings by joking, “They’re Democrats.”

Donald Trump’s alleged remark is detailed in the forthcoming book by investigative journalist Bob Woodward, Fear: Trump in the White House. Then-White House chief of staff Reince Priebus “had had it with Ivanka,” a transcript of the book obtained by Newsweek stated in a section on the lead-up to the president withdrawing from an agreement to combat climate change.

“The president's 35-year-old daughter and White House senior adviser effectively had free run of the West Wing,” Woodward wrote. “She had launched what amounted to a covert operation in support of the Paris Accord.”

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-ivanka-jared-kushner-democrats-1112023

Only it isn't a joke.  They really are liberals.  If people should be fired it should be them.  Not conservatives like Jeff Sessions.  Tucker Carlson spoke out on the outstanding job Jeff Sessions did for Trump tonight.

That was Lindsey Graham 1.0. He got an upgrade, since McCain left the scene.
