“...not only does this out Sessions, but could very well put some brakes on his momentum.”

How does it out Sessions?

I don’t know if you were asking me particularly, or just clicked reply on the last post before yours.

If you are asking me, I have no idea. And I doubt that anyone outside the Mueller Conspiracy and the Pecker legal team knows the answer.

More illegal tapping and hacking, no doubt.

I have a feeling there will be a few more plea deal announcements that sound like a hostage tape in the year to come.

They’ll be shaking down anyone close to Trump.

Pecker is a long time friend .... friend .... of President Trump.

Why would a prosecutor want to grant immunity to a Trump friendly witness ?

The outing is the obvious ... I have nothing and maybe a can get something from a friend.

Which the whole world NOW sees as the witch hunt Sessions is exersizing

Pecker got subpoenaed in April? That seems long ago.

“Why would a prosecutor want to grant immunity to a Trump friendly witness?”

I assume Mueller thinks he found some dirt on Pecker that he can use to try and leverage him into testifying against his friend Trump.

What I don’t understand is how any of this “outs” Jeff Session for anything.

I mean "out" as in there can no longer be any pretense tthis is a legitimate investigation for ANY wrong doing, it is purely and entirely meant to get something to use in impeachment procedings, which, if I read all of this correctly, will never happen.

Nothing the lamestream has "dug up" is criminal and can never be a used to further sully President Trump.

The ONLY thing the enemy has going for it are the words spoken by idiots that say nothing and mean nothing.

According to Levin: The President can not be impeached for anything that happened before he was sworn in. Another dry hole.
