Alan Dersowitz has stated that the raid on Trump's lawyer was unconstitutional. Dershowitz had dinner with Trump last night to discuss.

On another note, Jason Chaffetz said on Fox News this morning that Sessions was no different than Holder or Low-Retta when it comes to transparency and providing information requested by Congress.

I’m not sure that is entirely accurate.

Contrary to the attitude of some that Congress is entitled to get anything it wants any time it wants it, there are a couple of limitations that ought to be observed.

One is premature disclosure of legitimate law enforcement investigative activities. Sometimes the unsuspecting suspects don’t need to know the eyes of law enforcement are turned on them, or that that the FBI just succeeded in planting a court ordered wiretap in somebody’s office, or car, or kitchen. I bet Joe Pistone would be horrified to think his existence might be disclosed to some Congressman, or a bunch of them. Evidence presented to a grand jury is not to be disclosed, not even to Congressmen, until the evidence has served its purpose.

National security is often a cover to avoid disclosing embarrassing information, like the hullabaloo over the House memos, which turned out to be bogus. Maybe something like that is involved, although scepticism is warranted. Pistone can appreciate the care they are exercising to review each document and record to see that dangerous information is redacted.

Remember, three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.

Be patient.

Nunes, Gowdy, staff get look a memo.

Good for Nunes. He had said if he didn't get the 2 page document, he would call for impeachment of Rosenstein and Wray.



some "cooperation"

And even so, the two page memo had a couple of redactions, as I have heard it.

I'd like to know when they are going to make any part of their basis for the Russian Investigation public. Best reasons I have heard were uncorroborated hearsay from a former spy, and some dude getting drunk at a bar trying to brag. Let's see some fucking evidence or shut the thing down for the love of God.

all funding and salaries for the 'special' investigations should be withheld

we've been playing this charade for a year

you want to get paid, bring a conviction to the table for collusion. If you can't, you're done.

this needs to stop, these leeches need to have salt poured on them

DeGenova and Dershowitz on Hannity just ripped Sessions a new one-- "a bump on a log," "disgraceful." Why doesn't Trump fire this asshat?

Because their TV spot riled you up, as it was supposed to.

The more I read, the more I think Sessions was an inadvertently genius pick by POTUS, aside from the needed recusal.

^^agree. Why the hell would sessions telegraph his moves? Trumo doesnt. He must appear be and appear unbiased if you want him prosecute the traitors.

Sessions having already appointed an outside Prosecutor Huber (?) to me indicates he's serious about trying to do the right thing.

Let's hope McConnel stays aggressive. We need these judges confirmed.

Their spot riled me up because they are both very smart lawyers who have a clear legal sense of what the AG should be doing and is not doing.

Sorry, but over his career the only thing McConnell has been aggressive about has been his reelection campaigns. I can't think of a single thing he's been aggressive about as Senate Majority Leader.

Yeah, I know, someone will chime in momentarily and say he blocked Obama's last SCOTUS nominee, but that was not due to McConnell's "aggressiveness". It was to save his own skin.

McConnell has been no friend to conservatives. He was an avid never-Trumper. He is a swamp creature to his marrow. He needs to go.

Nonetheless, I do hope he stops blocking Trump's court nominees. We could get a lot more done if he would just stay out of the way.

How do you (or they) know what the AG is doing or not?

Just because Sessions isn't on TV every day telling the entire world what he's doing doesn't mean he's not doing any of it.

I've said it from the beginning, and I still believe it today. I think some of these guys are playing very smartly and letting those on the left dig their own hole. We all wish things moved at a faster rate, but they don't. I'm still confident things will play out in our favor.

The swamp creatures will go BigBore. It just takes time. You cant unfuck something in 2 years thats been fucked for 20.

I hope so.

Nevertheless, there is this huge, very public "special counsel" investigation of the sitting President, with the intent of bringing him down, or at the very least impeding him from enacting his agenda. It goes on and on. It goes into things far beyond and prior to his campaign.

We know that Hillary/Obama are guilty of far more extensive "collusion" to sway our election. What we don't know is what if anything is being done to investigate Hillary/Obama.

A couple of things occurred to me with this out-of-control Mueller going after Trump with this Stormy Daniels and Access Hollywood crap now:

1. We are watching a slow coup unfold here against President Trump.

2. It's clear Mueller has NOTHING on Russia, the entire scope of his investigation and he's desperate to find something, anything to burn this President with to justify him having this job.

3. Mr. Magoo Sessions had recused himself from the RUSSIA investigation. He however is not recused from this SEX investigation that Mueller is now running. Why doesn't he wake the fuck up and put an end to this guy going way outside his boundaries?

And it doesn't mean that he is, either.

DiGenova and his wife are beltway insiders. What's going on publicly and behind the scenes-- that is their whole life. The way he ripped Sessions last night indicates to me that this man-- who has far more insight than I, far more than most people-- is convinced that the man who seems to be standing around with this thumb up his ass is in fact standing around with his thumb up his ass.

Dershowitz added to the attack on Sessions: Sessions should have told Trump that he was going to recuse himself. Not to have done so was wrong. Trump does not need a part time Attorney General.

The discussion about Sessions is around the 27 minute mark.
