I think Sessions recusing himself was a betrayal and a cowardly act. I did not see it as necessary. And the Mueller investigation was stuffed thick with fraud.
Trump's tolerance level is extremely low. ...
I think you're missing the magnitude of Jeff Sessions' betrayal
@jafo2010 ... to recuse himself from all things "Russia" was not only unnecessary, he did so without the President's knowledge. Sessions' retreat paved the way for the Mueller investigation putting the President, his administration and the country through three years of hell.
Sessions should have resigned and allowed the President to have a functional AG with true oversight capabilities — even one in an “acting†capacity. Instead, Sessions dug in his heels and used his friends in the Senate as a public shield against termination ----AND the DOJ bureaucracy. Sessions, now claiming to have integrity above all else, publically fought with the President of the United States to keep a job he was no long fit for.
Scoop: Besieged Sessions dines with Rosenstein, Francisco Tonight at 7:35pm (May 1, 2018), the Attorney General strode into a high-end Washington restaurant to dine with his deputy Rod Rosenstein and the Solicitor General Noel Francisco. The symbolism was unmistakable: the three top ranking officials in the Justice Department appearing together in a show of solidarity on the same day Trump is publicly and privately raging about Sessions.
Does it get more deep state than this
?? I wonder who convinced Sessions he was irreplaceable --- and why.
Sessions --- who didn’t prosecute one sanctuary city, who didn’t prosecute Antifa, or join Kris Kobach’s voter fraud investigation --- told us recently that he saved the rule of law and is responsible for the President’s acquittal in the Senate. I suppose deserters must be delusional.
Now he's telling us
"I've taken the road less travelled. Not sought fame or fortune. My honor and integrity are far more important than these juvenile insults" How can Sessions possibly believe he has honor and integrity?? He is a snake who should be shunned for what his self-serving betrayal unleashed on this country and the man at whose pleasure he served.
So while you see the President's tolerance level as extremely low
@jafo2010 ... more are impressed with his restraint.
