Rep. Maxine Waters: Jeff Sessions 'should be fired'

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to be fired after a CNN report came out Wednesday that he failed to disclose meetings with Russian officials when he applied for his security clearance.

"We can't go a day w/o learning a new lie re: Trump's team & Russia. Sessions should be fired. He has no business leading DOJ. Get him out!" said Waters in a tweet.

Waters, who has become a firebrand critical of the Trump administration, is also a leading figure in the push to get President Trump impeached.

The Justice Department later put out a statement defending Sessions.

"As a United States Senator, the Attorney General met hundreds — if not thousands — of foreign dignitaries and their staff. In filling out the SF-86 form, the Attorney General's staff consulted with those familiar with the process, as well as the FBI investigator handling the background check, and was instructed not to list meetings with foreign dignitaries and their staff connected with his Senate activities," Justice Department Deputy Director of Public Affairs Ian Prior said in a statement Wednesday evening.

I guess you’ll just have to wait and see if he meets your expectations then...

My expectations in Jeff Sessions are lower than the Dead Sea. If he acts, and we see politicians and corrupt officials in handcuffs, I'll take it all back. But based on what I've seen, there is very little danger of that happening.

Why the hell did he even take the job anyway?

He thought it would be "challenging and fun"?

He needed the pension?

What?

I guess when Sessions called Chuck Schumer "my dear and very close friend" he wasn't exaggerating.

He came from the DC Swamp, and he has shown exactly Zero interest in holding his "friends" accountable.

I watch with amusement and wonder if there will ever come the occasion when she says something that even the the most rabid leftie looks at and says, “Please just shut up!”

If this is SO egregious, I have but two words; Hillary Clinton.

It’s as though we’ve all conceded that if she just goes away it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t get prosecuted. If they’re going to keep up the hysteria and over the top rhetoric like this then maybe we should all start calling for her prosecution and never let up.

On federal Personnel Security Questionnaires (SF86), it’s standard to exempt meetings with foreign officials in connection with government duties in the items foreign contacts or foreign activities. One suspects waters is busy trying to forestall any DOJ investigation into her rampant corruption and running of what might be considered a continuing criminal enterprise as head of her congressional money making scam. And Sessions seems just the man to launch the investigation.

I’ve avoided this term for waters because it implicitly compares her to a cinematic good guy; but that’s just being pedantic, I realize. Still, I prefer to think of her as Crazy Stupid Drooling Lunatic Octogenarian Burnout Corrupt Extortionist Waters.

Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi both need to undergo a psychological evaluation.

exactly..a lousy 4 months in and theres already special counsel?...for no crime yet??...unbelievable. And make no mistake, Mueller is a Bushite, and they hate Trumps guts. He could have stopped all this Russia BS ...instead, he recuses himself,,,basically threw his power right out the window. Al Franken asked a convuluted, bizarre question that was no way perjury....the media raked Sessions, and he cowers , crumbles and recuses himself. I mean cmon...now they are running wild with this conspiracy non sense, trying to drag this out until the midterms. Trump, in the meantime, not being a politician,is out there defending himself, and coming dangerously close to falling into the trap that the jackals are setting. Im really pissed...his people around him all should have seen this stuff....i really think they thought the media, etc were gonna give him a fair shot. John Kennedy had his own brother as AG for crying out loud....Sessions endorsed him..fine...surely there was something else he could have done...but the AG...you gotta have your most trusted man there...you think Holder , etc would have allowed Obama to get in this mess?. Comey is already plotting with Mueller...they refused the house committee. Wnna get this Russia thing off the headlines??...or Sessions to re open the whole Clinton..Comey...Lynch fiasco...talk about collusion, man. The way Trump campaigned, i thought for sure he weas gonna go there and literally fire everybody be possibly could..DRAIN THE SWAMP!...instead, hes upset about crowd sizes and that non sense. The medias having a field day, and so is the “swamp”...all because Sessions surrendered and recused himself from this Russia non sense. Literally tied his own arms. Over something that didnt even happen no less..ok..im done.

a special council only 4 moths in???....you dont see this trap they are setting for Trump??...the split second the base abandons Trump, watch how fast they go for the kill. Trump has the power to declassify anything he wants....order Sessions to investigate any possilble crimes that he wants...and yet, they all sit and watch the sharks circle...i dont get it

CNN REPORTED on it yesterday, but it wasn’t news. It was the same two Russian contacts he had as a senator that was reported on before. They just dredged up some guy that says Sessions got bad advice, and he should have reported all the hundreds or thousands of foreign contacts he had as senator. There passing this off as news.
