Sessions should announce an investigation into Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation - watch them back off

Absolutely NOT!!! This is just another way to create chaos in Pres. Trump’s administration. There is no Deputy AG because the Dems are holding up the DOJ positions, so AN OBAMA SPY like the Yates woman would be doing the investigation!

Republicans should stand by their people like the Democrats circled the wagons around the biggest crook to be in any administration, Hillary Clinton. She not only was shielded from prosecution, but she ran for president!!! Grow a spine, Republicans. We are marking the traitors who are siding with Obama and the Democrats who are planning a coup against Pres. Trump. You should be the ones resigning for being too jealous of Trump or too stupid to be in office.

Okay, so there’s no reason for Sessions to recuse himself, or for Trump to ask Sessions to recuse himself. If Trump asks him to recuse himself, the Dems will have won this particular battle and it will embolden them for future sh*t like this. Hell, they’ll be able to neuter Sessions outright for doing any AG work on anything!

Sessions had a meeting in September with the Russian ambassador in Sessions' Senate office. If this is so sinister, why would Sessions hold the meeting in his own office essentially making it a matter of public record?

And in September, Trump was given no chance of winning. He was down big in all the polls. What advantage would Sessions (or Trump) gain with meeting with the Russians?

This is a non-story meant to take down the Rep the Dems fear the most, Jeff Sessions, and eventually Trump. The narrative is that Hillary lost because of the Trump campaign's coordination with the Russians to "hack" our elections. It is preposterous.

Holder is the one who should have resigned along with his successor Lynch. They were highly politicized and created a DOJ cesspool.

"I have said whenever it's appropriate, I will recuse myself," he said. "There's no doubt about that.

He should have stuck with the denials of talking to Russians (why do the liberals so desperately want war with them anyway?). If he was going to say anything about recusing himself, he should have made it clear that it would be in a case where he has a conflict of interest--for instance, on an investigation of a company where he was once a voting member of the board or something. The way he said it sounds like there could be reason to recuse himself vis-à-vis Russia, and the media will certainly spin it to sound that way.

Let us not forget that Hillary took a lot of money from Russia in return for huge favors that endanger national security. The whole point of trying to tie Trump or members of his administration to Russia is to deflect us from the real collusion between Democrats and countries that have historically not been our friends.

LOL. Do they really want Sessions replaced with Gowdy?

It’d be like replacing Johnny Behan with Wyatt Earp.

Bring it!

If I talk to a Russian, have I done something criminal?

What if I ask him the time, and he tells me?

What if we talk about how hard elections are?

If the Democrats have evidence that the Russians were coordinating the deposit of funds with Sessions to buy his support, then let them produce that evidence.

In return, I produce as evidence Vice President Al Gore, Democrat, getting caught with a suitcase full of money from the Chinese government.

These Democrat should hang themselves for their shameful actions.

Can’t Trump just tweet “squirrel”, and get the entire media hyperventilating about some non event for 2 or 3 days?

Make a list of all the nervous-nelly, chicken-little, and pearl-clutching freepers, and send this statement by Sessions’ spokesperson to them.

That is a major mistake. Do not give an inch. Their next step is to call for your firing. They are already doing that so do not help them.
