Sessions was forced to recuse from all things Trump-Russia.

If he goes, Trump can nominate someone who will try to fire Mueller through Rosenstein.

Seems like Sessions is rather castrated right now.

These idiots, leaving a slime trail a mile wide and three feet thick, actually thought no one would ever catch on to their dirty tricks.

Mueller must be laughing his ass off at these morans. No wonder the investigation is moving along so quickly. TrumpCo. is leaving giant neon signs along the way, reading "EVIDENCE LOCATED HERE!"

If Trump's financial information is as full of holes as his presidency, he's going to prison for the rest of his life. No wonder he wouldn't hand over his income tax returns.

When they make the TV 'Movie of the Week' about this bunch of dolts, they'll name it, "No Country For Old Morans"

Trump and Sessions Denied Knowing About Russian Contacts. Records Suggest Otherwise.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/02/us/politics/trump-jeff-sessions-russia.html

WASHINGTON — Standing before reporters in February, President Trump said unequivocally that he knew of nobody from his campaign who was in contact with Russians during the election. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has told the Senate the same thing.

Court documents unsealed this week cast doubt on both statements and raised the possibility that Mr. Sessions could be called back to Congress for further questioning.

The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, unsealed his first charges Monday in a wide-ranging investigation into Russian attempts to disrupt the presidential election and whether anyone close to Mr. Trump was involved. Records in that case show that George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser, had frequent discussions with Russians in 2016 and trumpeted his connections in front of Mr. Trump and Mr. Sessions.

For months, journalists have revealed evidence that associates of Mr. Trump met with Russians during the campaign and the presidential transition. But the court documents represent the first concrete evidence that Mr. Trump was personally told about ties between a campaign adviser and Russian officials.

Trump pressures Justice Department to investigate ‘Crooked Hillary’
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/11/03/trump-pressures-justice-department-to-investigate-crooked-hillary/
By Philip Rucker November 3 at 8:01 AM

President Trump on Friday pressured the Department of Justice — and specifically the FBI — to investigate Hillary Clinton, ticking through a slew of issues involving the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and her party, and urging law enforcement to “do what is right and proper.”

Trump's advocacy for criminal probe of his political opponent marked a significant breach of the traditional boundaries within the executive branch designed to prevent investigations from being politicized.

In a Thursday radio interview, Trump said “the saddest thing” about being president is that he is not supposed to give orders to the Justice Department or FBI. .....
