I read it.

There were a few half-hearted pro Sessions comments at the end.

The part I was reacting to was the recurring theme - reinforced in the title - that Sessions was running out of cover, and would have no choice but to man up - not a very enthusiastic endorsement.

To say someone is running out of cover is to say they are running out of hiding places - that they are hiding, avoiding, sleeping, napping - in other words the very narrative of the Sessions bashers.

Look, you may be pro Sessions - but the theme of “Sessions is running out of cover” is a weak endorsement.

Good chance, but not totally. The other rat, Comey, will be testifying against him and both are Clintonoids, so there’s some hope.

Also, with the evidence so strongly against him, there’s a good chance he’ll try to cut a plea deal for little or no time in return for ratting out the rest of the conspiracy, of which he was a vital part.

That’s exactly what I’m worried about. A Swamp Monster GJ. Everybody within a hundred miles around that cesspool makes their living directly or indirectly from The Swamp. They need a better venue, but I do not think you can do that with GJs.

Turns out Georgia allows a Change of Venue for GJs:

2010 Georgia Code
TITLE 15 - COURTS
CHAPTER 12 - JURIES
ARTICLE 4 - GRAND JURIES
PART 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 15-12-82 - Change of venue in criminal grand jury investigation

O.C.G.A. 15-12-82 (2010)
15-12-82. Change of venue in criminal grand jury investigation

(a) The judges of the superior courts are authorized and empowered to transfer the investigation by a grand jury from the county where the crime was committed to the grand jury in any other county in the state when it appears that a qualified grand jury cannot be had for the purpose of such investigation in the county where the crime was committed. The grand jury box shall be exhausted in trying to secure a qualified jury before a transfer of the investigation shall be made, unless the accused consents to a transfer.

Alright Freeqers. It’s put up or shut up time for the prophet Q, who’s told everyone to “trust Sessions.”.

I believe I read that the IG referral will be sent to the DC attorney’s office.

McCabe will certainly not request a change of venue and I don’t see how the prosecutor can ask for a change.

McCabe’s “jury of his peers” will be drawn
from the population that votes 95% Democrat.

I agree.

A rat fight rather than a trial would be the best scenario. A DC trial will be as productive as the NJ Menendez trial.

> “I am not from Alabama, but as I look over his entire career, I see a shrewd conservative and process-oriented legislator that plays the long-game better than anyone. There is nothing in his history that says otherwise. Did he all of a sudden change?”

As US Senator, he voted for the secret Iran deal.

As US AG, he praised the corrupt liar Obama-era prosecutors that tried to railroad the Hammond’s and the Bundy’s in court.

In the first case, he was snapping to when Mitch said “Ten-Hut’!

In the second case, he was playing ignorant newbie.

As the President labeled him, he is a virtual Mr. Magoo.

Conservatives are hoping he has finally been sat down and assigned some adult supervision in the Trump Admin.

Sessions probably has more on Clapper than you realize.

I have a confession and an apology to make:

I’ve made fun of the Q followers in the past for being cultish. I joked about the da Vinci code numerology, the treasure hunt clues, the invisible ink, decoder ring messages, etc..

But lately I find myself reading and enjoying their threads.

Why? Because they are the only remaining refuge on FR not dominated by obnoxious Sessions hate. I’m so tired of the knee jerk anti Sessions trolls ruining every conversation.

So to the Q followers - I don’t believe in Q the way you do - I don’t look to Q or to the Q followers as a source of truth. My failure to hate Sessions did not come from Q. But you are an altogether pleasant bunch - especially when compared to the toxic Sessions hate trolls.

I’m sorry I misjudged you.

Sessions is smart enough to know that any indictment made without thousands of ages of real evidence, not just “I know he is guilty so hang him”, will bring congress, the DOJ, the FBI and probably the city of Washington DC to a complete halt.

We saw a preview of that in the firing of Comey and McCabe, but they are really small potatoes in the overall picture.

The big fish are the Clintons and obummer.

You will get absolutely nowhere with “I know they are guilty, look at that”.

Sessions must provide overwhelming evidence, documented to the very last detail.

Remember, the swamp can raise unlimited amounts of money with the support they have from Soros, the Hollywood crazies, Bezos, the Clinton money machine, the liberal media, etc.

The big fish will not run out of money and be ground into surrendering as happened to General Flynn.

But Sessions may not be investigating Clapper At All. We don’t know that he is or that he isn’t. It’s a moot point.

However, there are two facts that cannot be disputed. A, Clapper lied under oath, and B, Sessions let the statute of limitations run out on the perjury charge.

Clapper skated.

They’re nice as long as they’re safe in their echo chamber.

So you are sure that lying is the only thing Clapper has ever done wrong.

To me it is obvious that he is an inhabitant of the very bottom of the swamp.

You can bet he and Brennen are being investigated. There is no way to get to the bottom of the spying and wire taps without investigating them.

Charging Clapper with perjury would not have indemnified him against any other charge. There is zero evidence that that he’s being investigated for anything else. It’s simply a matter of blind faith on the part of the TRUST SESSIONS faction.

Do you have any idea how much manpower and paper work it takes to try a case where the combatants have money, power and good lawyers?

For instance I read today that Horowitz has 700 investigators working for him.

It is true that he is investigating many people, but only a very small percentage of the number that need to go to jail....and some of those have so much money and power that it will probably take a 100 people to investigate, prosecute and convict each of them.

Everyone has to set priorities. I have no idea what Sessions priorities are, but even he in his position can not indict everyone in the swamp on the same day.

And some will go free only because they are not worth the money and manpower that needs to be spent on a bigger fish.

I am not a lawyer. I once had a very simple case. But the other side had money and a law firm that had offices in every major civilized country.

It took two years and over $300,000 to beat them.

Sessions job is not as easy as “experts” on FR think.
