Gee, it seems that the Attorney General has a lot of new paper to shuffle on his desk..... can't wait to see what he does with it. *********************** * Diligentia Vis Celeritis * *********************** "Thus those skilled in war subdue the enemy's army without battle ....

I'll give Sessions until after the IG report comes out and a bit into the summer. But if no indictments come out he gets fired in November with Rosenstein and Mueller. The fact that he wasn't forthright about recusing himself is enough for me. Imagine if you hired someone to work weekends and after they were onboard they said "Oh yea I can't work Sundays. Appreciate the job"! No. You would be fired. | |||

That is not the analogy. Sessions is quite busy on the vast array of other issues and responsibilities of DOJ. You continue to ignore the explanations of the requirements of professional responsibility, except when it is other guys whose ethics you rant about when they ignore them. Our guys you hate because they comply. C’mon, man! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Professional responsibility would have been to inform the President of his recuseal. He did not. He withheld information that could have affected his appointment for personal gain (getting the job). The analogy works. | |||

On Jeff Sessions, I will fall somewhere between mbinky and JALLEN. I don’t think Sessions even thought much about recusing himself when he first accepted the AG position. Unfortunately it was the idiot Al Franken who caused Sessions trouble. During Senate confirmation the DEMs attacked Sessions hard. Very hard. Sessions was visibly shocked that his “colleagues” were so unfair and absurd in their accusations. Sessions said he had no contact w Russians but didn’t even consider a few normal interactions such as handshakes in receiving lines and meetings related to his senate position. Then he consulted with DoJ ethics people. Who knows who they were. Most likely obama holdovers. Sessions took the high road while not understanding this had nothing to do w right or wrong. This was all out political war. No trick was too dirty for the DEMs. When you are in a knife fight, Queensberry Rules are dangerous to follow . Sessions was naïve not to recognize that. His recusal has been the biggest blunder of any of the administration appointments. First the FBI under Comey set out to frame Donald Trump. When Comey was fired, Comey leaked damaging material about his meetings w Donald Trump with the specific goal to get a special counsel appointed. Comey framed his leaks to paint the worst possible picture of the President. Once we saw the actual Comey memos, it is hard to comprehend why those led to a special counsel. But Rosenstein bit the Comey bait. Now we have Mueller out to set Donald Trump up for impeachment. The longer Mueller stretches this fiasco out, the more he hinders the agenda that voters supported to elect Donald Trump. Mueller is as much a threat to our election and governing process as any foreign agent. ********** edited to add: Jeff Sessions' early support of Donald Trump had a big impact in helping Trump get elected. We will always owe that acknowledgement to Jeff Sessions. I hope he turns out to be a very effective AG. He needs to recognize his enemies and treat them like enemies. | |||

Rule #1: Use enough gun |
Sessions caved under pressure, when he had the votes to be confirmed without recusing himself. He is also a member of the old boys Senate club (Translation: swamp creature). He not only won't fight back against high ranking Dems, he won't go after them either. Trump's single biggest mistake to date... When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | |||

http://www.foxnews.com/politic...arning-revealed.html DT tweet: "There was no Collusion (it is a Hoax) and there is no Obstruction of Justice (that is a setup & trap). What there is is Negotiations going on with North Korea over Nuclear War, Negotiations going on with China over Trade Deficits, Negotiations on NAFTA, and much more. Witch Hunt!" John Dowd, Trump’s former lead attorney, told The Associated Press Tuesday night that Mueller raised the possibility of a subpoena during a meeting with Trump's legal team in March. According to accounts of the meeting first reported by The Washington Post and confirmed by Fox News, Dowd retorted: " This isn’t some game. You are screwing with the work of the president of the United States ." worth a repeat: Mueller is as much a threat to our election and governing process as any foreign agent | |||

^^^^ Add Rosenstein to that list as well. It is under his oversight and direction that Mueller is allowed to operate. | |||

If it ever actually looks like an non-bluff, real-life Pres. Trump impeachment is impending, I'll be going through mass quantities of Hoppe's #9, bore-cleaning patches and Breakfree CLP. ____________________ | |||

Not at all. The situation had not developed at the time he was nominated and confirmed. Moreover, all we have are media accounts, which are almost always incomplete, frequently misleading. No other attorney general who has participated in the new President’s campaign has ever faced with this situation at the outset which in the opinion and according to the advice of career lawyers in DOJ Ethics offices made recusal on this issue necessary. Other AGs have recused themselves, as their terms have progressed, as issues came up, not necessarily involving the President. It happens. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way.

OK, Sessions has been thoroughly discussed, guys. Seeing this "Sessions is useless" stuff is getting old. Let's wait and see what happens. | |||

Bad dog! |
^^^ This. This whole investigation shows the vulnerability of our government-- or any government-- when it is composed of swamp creatures. They are doing their best to subvert the will of the people, and whatever the final outcome, they have damaged our country enormously. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

So, Joe Btfsplk is on trial for murdering Saul Goodman. During the trial, Mr. Goodman walks into the court room in his Hawaiian shirt and says, "I wasn't murdered. I was just on vacation." Clearly, the defendant is innocent of the murder charges. Then, the prosecutor says he is bringing up obstruction charges. Apparently, Mr. Btfsplk obstructed the investigation of a murder that never happened by washing the clothing he was wearing the day of the supposed murder. Oh, and since we are there, we want to look at your tax returns, look for money laundering and see if you lied to your wife about a 2 bit whore. Joe Btfsplk is now facing the possibility of 20 years in prison. Sounds completely logical. | |||

Lee Smith has the goods on the real collusion: between the heads of the intelligence community, Fusion GPS, and the major media. Bottom line:
Link Major points: 1. MSM continue to dig themselves deeper into "collusion" hole with prizes for reporting "dossier" and related 2. Clapper and Brennan have been paid for their "leaks" with jobs as analysts at CNN, NBC which gives them a platform and first-amendment shielding for their continued lies 3. Simpson of Fusion/GPS set up Donald Trump Jr. with that meeting with Russian attorney Veselnitskaya, citing that meeting as ongoing collusion when HE arranged it. 4. MSM have to continue this story because they have thrown the whole profession of journalism under the bus to spread it. Long article but worth it.

Yes, how can a racist, sexist, homophobe possibly win the Nobel Prize! Plus he has orange-ish skin! I'm sure they'll try to spin it as a Republican attempt to distract from Russian collusion and Stormy Daniels....you know, the REALLY important issues of the day. | |||

"Simpson of Fusion/GPS set up Donald Trump Jr. with that meeting with Russian attorney Veselnitskaya" Simpson testified that he met w Veselnitskaya the day before the meeting, the day of the meeting, and the day after the meeting. But, says Simpson, they never discussed that Veselnitskaya met w Donald Trump Jr at all. Pretty much like Lynch and Bill Clinton talked about golf ********************* and, https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...nton-lawyer-n2476794 White House lawyer Ty Cobb, who has represented President Trump during special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, is retiring. He's expected to be replaced by Emmet T. Flood, who represented President Bill Clinton during his impeachment hearings. Cobb reportedly informed White House Chief of Staff John Kelly of his retirement plans last week. He will retire at the end of the month. | |||
