He'll destroy every one of them when they outlive their usefulness or whenever putin wants to see the US flip out.

Chaos serves Putin and the GOP agenda very well.

that there are sources talking to the Post who are aware of how anxious the American people are about all of this. So they leak what they can safely leak.

They put this story out in order to increase the pressure on Sessions to resign. Whoever is appointed to replace him won't have to recuse him or herself from overseeing Mueller's probe -- so Mueller would be brought under Justice Dept. control.

So maybe it was an easy story for WA Post -- they got it handed to them by the DT team.

who would not be recused from the Mueller probe.

then the Special Counsel would be reporting to the new AG.

A special counsel doesn't have the independence or freedom that Ken Starr did. Ken Starr answered to no one. Mueller would answer to the new AG.

E

fingerprints all over it. Meanwhile Junior and Manafort get to testify in private. We're being played I'm afraid. It's become abundantly clear this week.

They are two-faced and will smile as they gentlemanly stab you in the back.

Clue - I spent most of my adult life in the Deep South and half my relatives were born and live there.

whether perceived or not. Sessions displayed some of that when he was defending his so called honor. I wouldn't be surprised if he thought trump deliberately backed up the dirty bus wheels over him for there to be a way of him striking back.

and a liar - he has no honor.

Well..he never owned up to this fact ...

How can the attorney general be continuously caught lying and breaking the law?

We are in crazy land.

wagging his finger at our city, which is a designated "Sanctuary City". And yup, there were protestors out there too!

AG Dracula....bloodsucker.

Was he there? I don't know. He could have been. There were a lot of people there! But we didn't have a meeting! If he was there, we didn't actually meet, and if we did, I don't remember it.

...that Kislyak’s accounts of the conversations would NOT be monitored by American intelligence, so as easily to contradict any false testimony.

I would not be surprised if Mueller et al have much more that they can't say, simply because by even saying that they know things, they let the Russians know that certain things are being monitored. That may be one of the obstacles to indictment/prosecution of all this stuff.

Rule of law is dead in this country.

I'm freakin tired. Can we have a reset button?

If he helped the Donald out in so many ways why does he insult Sessions so much. I thought in comparison he has done more to help him than hurt him. Recusing himself from the Russian investigations and Comey crap is the only really negative "bad" thing he did to piss the Donald off.

I don't think either one is the loyal sort.

DC is leaking like a seive. It's Christmas in July!

if you worship the ground he walks on and agrees with everything he says. The moment you deviate, you're finished.

as a sacrificial lamb right now. I have no Idea how this is going to play out.

tr-dump thought Sessions would watch tr-dump's back as job one for Sessions. As if Sessions was just another rabid insane private attorney for tr-dump. Sessions always on the lookout out and ear to the ground looking and waiting to head off legal issues coming tr-dump's way.

tr-dump intended to financially rape and pillage the US treasury to enrich himself in grand style, to include his family and crony friends - riches beyond all imagination. Sessions was to keep the oversight, ethics, justice at bay at every bend and turn so team tr-dump could walk away scot-free with all the treasure and plunder.

Once Session got caught lying during his confirmation hearings he panicked and immediately recused himself.

Once Sessions recused himself and was out of the loop to defend and protect tr-dump from his myriad of legal problems - Sessions was now useless to tr-dump and resented Sessions because he spoiled tr-dump's fool proof plan to head off any legal issues about to come tr-dump's way.

"An eye for an eye" is justified.

since he is up to his eyeballs in Russia himself.

This is all about getting mueller reigned in. If sessions quits, 45 can choose a new AG that won't be forced to recuse themself from Mueller's investigation and they think they will either be able to fire Mueller or stop his investigation by controlling it at justice.

so that DT can nominate someone to replace him, who won't be recused from overseeing Mueller's investigation.

Then hell breaks loose.

investigation. Sessions had to recuse himself because of his campaign work, but a new Attorney General wouldn't have that problem.

A special counsel doesn't have the same independence to act as Ken Starr. But the law that allowed for Ken Starr expired a long time ago.

If he's fired the Senate pukes have to come around and appoint Mueller or his Jarworsky to finish off the Orange Traitor.

and Mueller would have to answer to him or her -- or resign.

We wouldn't be better off.

Trump wants him to resign so gen can name someone that will fire Mueller.

Poor Jeffy really thought they were all in on it together.

done during the day. Then at 5 it takes a couple hours to catch up.

Don't sleep well if I do.

The Red would know the call was likely to be intercepted.

Either way, it's just another brick in the wall and in the long run hurts Ass Hole.

Just when Trump needs another excuse to fire sessions.

Think about it. Even Dana Bash (R- CNN) had the same observation.

any nominee would have to go through the confirmation process and the GOP has been burning through what little credibility they had left... And given the difficulty getting Sessions in, the next nominee may have a rougher time because it will be obvious that Drumpf is shopping for a "yes man".

and loyalist. Who could Trump get that'd be better? He can't really pull anyone out of the senate given their slim majority.

It depends on how clueless Drumpf is and whether Bannon has his ear and tries to force the issue. Seems the somewhat competent folks are fleeing the administration or refusing nomination requests.

This isn't evidence, really. This is hearsay. I could say that YOU said something, but that doesn't mean you DID say that. Anyone can report that someone else said something.

VERY interesting, the timing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to get Sessions to quit, so Trump will HAVE to nominate a new one, and will say, "I didn't fire him. I HAVE to name a new AG, since Sessions quit."

1. tRump can't control Sessions or fire him because the Republicans have told him it would be political suicide - for them

2. Only the Attorney General can fire the Special Prosecutor, Mueller, whilst we are in this ball of political crap

3. The Russians know this, so to help tRump, they spill on Sessions putting him in the position of possibly resigning under pressure or tRump believes that he will then be able to fire Sessions because he screwed up - even more

4. tRump appoints another Attorney General and then that flunky then fires Mueller

5. Don't tell me I'm wrong because these idiots are capable(?) of anything ...

Bring it on. The pukes will finally have to pick a side; Russia or The United States.

Joy Reid had Charlie Sykes and an ex r congressman on just now, both were completely confident Trump could fire Mueller and the rs would stick behind him.

and have that person fire Mueller. That appointee would have to be confirmed by the Senate. He would have to find some high level flunky already in DOJ to fire Mueller, Nixon style. Rosenstein can fire Mueller however.

But the blowback from that would be insane.

and even moreso since Obama's NLRB picks to test the validity of the pro forma sessions, went to the SCOTUS, where they were unanimous in support of that gaveling in every 3 days and that being considered still being "in session".

But Sessions WON'T. Sessions is hitting back in not quitting, and his Deputy AG is with him on that.

I'm guessing they feel bamboozled by Trump and are sticking firm.

Once they don't work for Trump, though...I think they can rat on him. Only thing is...if they can rat on him w/o getting themselves in hot water (Sessions, not the Deputy Rosenstein).

as is this an issue for many others. When they get you tied into the conspiracy somehow, you're stuck and can't rat without taking yourself down too (unless you can get a plea deal - see Flynn's attempts).

Another traitor bites the dust.

he covers himself, others do the dirty work for him & the POS screws them bigly

Is that a NEW conversation? Or an old one from last year?

Didn't they *KNOW* after decades in government service in Washington, that the
intelligence agencies listen, record everything as SIGINT (signal intelligence)?

I mean to say, the famous author James Bamford wrote a book about the spy agencies
in the early 1980s. There were no holes in it. You couldn't miss it.

How stupid are these people? This has been like a giant game of I DARE YOU

is that much of what they were doing was "business-/financial-/real estate-" related, which had been going on for decades in some cases... And to dissect it and prosecute any wrong-doing required far more resources than either the NY AG or U.S. Attorney for SDNY had available.

However, what has happened is that the TFEE's nefarious underground money-laundering world has now intersected with and infiltrated into the highest levels of government, and the current Mueller investigation happens to have the resources others never had to unwind it and get to the bottom of it. Unfortunately, what Mueller's team DOESN'T have is "time" given the threat of his firing hanging over it all. I expect they are well aware of that and have set it up to deal with that eventuality (with various degrees of priorities to report out should it happen).

And actually, there are not that many "senior" members of Congress left out of the 525 total. You hear about the few but the bulk of the House are newer reps along with quite a few Senators. As it is, there was a 63-member turnover in the House after the 2010 election, and more turnover in the elections since. Senior folks like Sessions should have known better but they tend to throw their power around (and caution to the wind) after they have settled in for awhile.

"....has provided “misleading” statements that are “contradicted by other evidence.”

I guess only the little people can be charged with purgery

Al only asked him how he would handle it if there was information that people in the administration had colluded with the Russians & Jeff volunteered that he, for one, never had any contact with them.

Thereby allowing Trump to appoint a yes-man who isn't recused and can end the Russia investigation.

Super shady, unethical, 3rd world fascist stuff going on right now. We're in deep trouble.

...Republicans are going to run with story line that Hillary Clinton conspired with the Russians to sabotage her own campaign.

to high heaven. Sergey Kislyak is known as a spy recruiter. He knows his phones are tapped. Kislyak is just going to accidentally incriminate Jeff Sessions? Please!

We're talking about the attorney general. This would be totally crazy code word intelligence delivered on a street corner by a man in an blue jacket.

...the timing of the leak regarding the intercepts is on the Trump administration. They are trying to force Sessions to resign so that Trump can appoint a new AG who is willing to fire Mueller. Otherwise, Trump has to start firing DOJ members before he finds his own Robert Bork.

Where it belongs.

K&R

Who woulda thunk it?

as they colluded with the evil empire* of russia to enable ACTS OF WAR** against America is breathtaking. How foul. How heinously foul to betray America this way.

* per ronald reagan
** per dick cheney, for god's sake (includes ongoing russian hacking of our nation's power grid, nuclear facilities, and electoral system)

Who was that man, the press caught coming out of the Embassy and he refused to say why he was there?

at the G20.

trump: Hey. I need to get rid of sessions so that I can pack the government like you do.

putin: No sweatski. I'll get out guy to call and say sessions talked about collaborating before the election. You guys get all those calls on tape.

trump: But wouldn't that mean there's more stuff about how we worked with you.

putin: So? You got your stoolies in the senate and house. You're packing the judiciary. Everyone knows we did this together. Just talk about Mexicans and fake media. Your senseless dogs will be lapping it up. In 2018 we can run the tests with the new voter information you give us to give you both houses again and set up for jarred run in 2020. As long as the republicans would rather have a russian stooge in power rather than let a Democrat win anything, we're set.

It makes sense, so hopefully it's true, they have him dead to rights.
