To
start with the conclusion, President Trump is long overdue in firing
his Attorney General Jeff Sessions and there are quite a few reasons
for that. The thing is, Sessions has become a liability to Trump’s
administration rather than an asset and, more than that, he’s become a
liability to the United States. That’s why he needs to go, the sooner,
the better.
It is true that both Republicans and Democrats threatened the President
they will not confirm a new AG provided Jeff Sessions is given the
boot. However, Trump can name an interim AG for an undetermined period
of time, and that would solve the issue with an uncooperative Senate,
at least until the midterm elections in 2018 when the RINOs will be
ousted (hopefully).
Moving
on with the story ...
I am sure that Trump can make Sessions life miserable enough that he will resign.
ReplyDeleteBut who would be the replacement? Mark Levin, Larry Klayman, Jay Sekulow, Victoria Toensing and Joseph DiGenova as Joint AGs?
My preference would be my badly trained German Shepherd bitch who would be let loose to roam the halls and bite career DoJ staff. But that’s just me.
"But who would be the replacement?"
ReplyDeleteBag of Hammers, Box of Rocks, Some Week Old Chinese...
It wouldn't take much. Anyone capable of not recusing themselves from doing their jobs twice an hour would do the trick.
" 'However, Trump can name an interim AG for an undetermined period of time ..."
ReplyDeleteMaybe Trump didn't know that. Now he does. You're welcome."
Oh, he KNOWS that, and has since there were "issues" with the Sessions nomination.
Problem IS: we don't know WHY Trump is not taking action on this.
I think Sessions was chosen because the local winos under the bridge were at the shelter on the cold night Trump was out looking for an Attorney General.

ReplyDeleteI've always been a huge Jeff Session's fan. He was fearless while in the Senate and took the lead and spearheaded the fight on all the right issues.
Since being appointed AG he has been very disappointing. His recusal and apparent inaction is unacceptable. I'm hoping that since it's the usual policy that the DOJ or the FBI normally doesn't comment on ongoing investigations, I'm holding out hope that something is in the works or that a Grand Jury has been impaneled.
His shelf life is quickly expiring if it isn't the case.

My pick ... Ann Coulter
ReplyDeleteWeinstein, he's pissed that the Dims are turning on him after he gave them so much money and access to women. Now he'd demand anal from Pelosi before he'd do any favors......Film at 11.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Trump is waiting until after the special election to replace Sessions in the Senate. It would be embarrassing for Sessions not to last until then. And trading Senator Sessions for Senator Moore or Senator Democrat would be a downgrade.
ReplyDeleteLike Geo above, I've been hoping that one day I'll wake up and find huge red headlines at Drudge, announcing the overnight arrest and indictment of a large number of felons, many of whom are ex- or current government officials.
ReplyDeleteGod knows there are plenty of crooks to choose from, and I'd love to see a certain Hag and a couple of past Attorney Generals at the top of the list. A certain felon whose skin matches his heart color is more than I can hope for, but wouldn't that be wonderful!
Sadly, it doesn't look like that is going to happen, except in my sweet dreams; so I agree, it's time to pull Jeff Sessions & replace him.
Sessions just isn't cutting the mustard!
Sessions has been around long enough that the FBI would have assembled a background file on him that was in existence during the Clinton Administration. There are other elected and appointed government officials whose conduct has been difficult to comprehend or explain in certain situations given their prior performance. I think it's time for a full accounting of those files.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Trump, Sessions, Mueller and Flynn are playing a long game of "kill the beast" There are dozens of sealed indictments that when opened and executed will bring down the swamp machine.
ReplyDeleteBe patient. The hammer is gonna fall.
I want to believe, but I won’t hold my breath.
