Hopefully he tell them all that they can kiss his ass.

"It's okay when we do it!" he will say, "We need to abolish ethics laws in Trumplandia."

Ready to pack it in, are you? Amazing the lack of fight.

Probably not a darn thing.

I'm not on the Trump side or the left side. I am an outside observer on the right. If Sessions failed to disclose meeting foreign dignitaries then it is a big deal and needs to be looked into. It might not have been any big thing but.... Why did he lie?
-
Folks make mistakes all the time. It's when they cover up and lie about them that they get into trouble.
It appears that Sessions may have provided an answer that was accurate, but not true.

iow, he failed to answer a question that was not asked.
-

Dems are claiming he lied under oath.
Legal experts call BS on that claim:

Why are Republicans always so GD'd wimpy?
-
Very honorable thing to do IMO.
-
This is not good at all. Double standards for the DEMS., i.e., Holder, Lynch, Obama and Clinton.

I'm assuming that includes Hillary's campaign as well? If so, how convenient for the DEMS.
-

Yeah, what good is "honor" when it allows our enemies to run roughshod over us?
-
This is not good at all. Double standards for the DEMS., i.e., Holder, Lynch, Obama and Clinton.
And so goes the Trump Presidency.
-

Not necessarily. He will have many very competent people around him tahat are perfectly capable of looking into that matter.
-
Hillary gets her "Get Out Of Jail Free" Card.
-
This won't help...they smell blood and the attacks will continue...this is what they do.
-
And so goes the Trump Presidency.
Deep breath. This was not a ditch to die in.
-
Wow, talk about snowflakes... sheesh!
-
Deep breath. This was not a ditch to die in.
Yes it was. Sessions was to be a major weapon in draining the swamp. He did nothing wrong, whatsoever.
-
And so goes the Trump Presidency.
WHOA COWBOY! This isn't enen a scratch much less a wound!
-

Precisely.
-

He recused only in investigation of the campaign. That is clear and specific and limited.
-
Deep breath. This was not a ditch to die in.
It means that the whole "Russia" nonsense is only going to continue.
-
Napolitano should know.
-

Absolutely!
-
It means that the whole "Russia" nonsense is only going to continue.
A Sessions non-recusal does not change that. Release of the transcripts of the conversation that killed Flynn would go a long way toward exposing the whole hatchet job this is.
-
Sessions' manner is way too smiley and conciliatory.
He's leaving himself open to all kinds of stuff. "Well I don't recall...and I can't be sure...and those ambassadors are gossipy." Dumb.
-
It means that the whole "Russia" nonsense is only going to continue.
Seeing as how Trump praised Putin repeatedly, no it's not.
While the media sucks, Trump's big fat mouth did him no favors either.

Why do Trump-supporters always think it is okay to do something unethical if Obama or Clinton did it too??
Two wrongs don't make a right (except in Trumplandia)

Conversations that he had told them did not exist. That is the issue.
Dozens of people have been escorted out of this admin for failing background checks. When you think lying is a good thing, these things happen

AG Sessions is victim of illegal leaks. As a victim, he should recuse himself from the investigation of these crimes.

Yes, they do. So do AMP and the New York Times.

Won't keep him from killing those DOJ slush funds, or enforcing our immigration laws.

There seems to be some discrepancy. MSN is reporting differently.

That's just it. It doesn't matter, recusing himself, now leaves it up to the MSM to interpret.
Maybe Giuliani would have been a better choice.

As much as it pains me to say it, the MSN headline is correct and the Fox News headline is patently false!

They don't call it "Faux News" for nothing.

Exactly what I was thinking. We lose some but not much.
They just appoint a young whipper snapper to go after Hillary.

Fox has employees who absolutely hate Trump. The technician who typed in that headline is likely one of them.

The entire episode ia a tempest in a teapot and will have zero effect on anything in the grand scheme of things.
-
I wish I could say that this recusal will be the end of it...but we all know that's not true.
I for one think Sessions should not have recused himself..he did nothing wrong and did not lie on that question...he is weakened now imho.
They [MSM/Dems} will continue this attack.

Agreed. Dumb move on Sessions' part.

I can't ever remember disagreeing with you Bigun, but in this I do.
The Dems/MSM will not let up until Sessions resigns....the only caveat is Trump and if he will let it happen.

I am going to disagree with the part about him recusing himself. That will have no affect on anything. The part abou the dems continuing to attack is true but that was going to happen regardless.

But the recusal gives the Rats' attacks more of a sense of legitimacy.
-

No it doesn't. At least not as a legal matter. It is a well known FACT that Sesions was an operative in the Trump campaign. There is no denying that and therefore recusing himself from any and all investigations of that campaign is completely right and proper.
That doesn't mean that the media won't try to make hay out of it.
-
No it doesn't. At least not as a legal matter.
Who cares? It's what the media says about it that matters. And they've already blown up this nothing burger into the Second Coming of Watergate.

I told everyone here that they were going to do that LONG before Trump was sworn in. It should come as a surprise to no one that they are doing it.

At first I was dismayed. But,it actually presses the Dems to continue with the full blown crazy. Schumer is leading the Barking Moonbat Parade with that nonsense about him and McConnell rewriting the Special Prosecutor law.
Release the transcripts.

And Sessions had the opportunity to call the media out on this, and he didn't.

It is why we have to stay on offense.

Which proves the point Trump has been making about dishonesty. Most of us here re not fooled by their shenanigans. SSDD.

Exactly. And Sessions had the opportunity to do just that, and he passed.

Absolutely! While they are busy engaging in their moonbattery we should kick them right in the n#T$ as hard as we can.

I just happened to glance at my youtube page and noticed several talking heads are shocked (Shocked I tell you! that Republicans are attacking Sessions.
WTF did people expect when they elected unprincipled RINOs ??? No really. WTF did they think would happen when their 'no matter what' liberals with an R velcroed on would have to actually stand in defense of ...anything really?
Did they think that electing unprincipled people would result in principled action, ESPECIALLY when most of these guys were forced into lining up behind Trump? Sessions is/was a Trump supporter from the early days so naturally they will not stand behind him. That would take principle and we all know that principle is the problem right? RIGHT?
Well thats what we were told here, on FR, pretty much everywhere by the 'win no matter what' crowd. Well they 'won'. They got their full slate of lesser evils empowered and now they are just shocked (Shocked I tell you!) that they have more knives than Krystalnacth ready to sink in Session's back.
I wonder if ANY of these lobotomites have enough sense to learn anything from this. Personally I doubt they do.

Just the truth. At the end of the day, SOMEONE elected these liberal Republicans and it wasn't Democrats. I swear people refuse to think past immediate gratification anymore. God knows that they refuse to accept the fact that action has consequence.
