Sessions is not a good man. He is an enemy of the Republic.

#####################

I think he is some kind of moral or malfeasant reprobate who was compromised. His actions, or rather inactions, amount to the same, regardless. He was the gatekeeper who abandoned his post, and will forever be remembered that way.

They were there for an hour? Where the heck were the cops?

###########################

Have you noticed the cops are NEVER doing anything when Antifa acts up? They are MIA, or standing around with their hands in their pockets.

Although there were splits, most law enforcement swung with the communists in the Spanish Civil War. There is a shared control fetish there, with many of them.

Replace the WH intern with a beefy 300lb 6’5 bailiff.

“Tucker is a gun owner. Where was his family? His wife needs to come out onto the porch with weapons!”

That would be quite illegal.

Recommending you take gun course. You may be new to site, but do a search on Joe Biden and shotgun.

For anyone who cares about the truth, that is a true copy of what happened in the press briefing. He blocked her arm and did not grab her. It’s disengenous for anyone - here at FR, the WH or TV to claim otherwise. Last night when CNN aired the story with Anderson Cooper, they showed the clip and cut it short of the physical contact - just as reported in the article. Very obvious.

It was a stupid act for Acosta to pull but there isn’t any assault/battery here. Not defending Acosta but I’m tired of people exaggerating the smallest incidents - making mountains out of molehills.

Glad he had his WH press pass taken as he’s one arrogant, belligerent, obnoxious son of a gun but why do conservatives insist on behaving like liberals and blowing things out of proportion?

“”I believe Rudy said he would have recused himself?””

Where IS Rudy? Haven’t seen him in ages! Maybe he recused himself also?

“”Since his criminal act occurred while on the clock, CNN is responsible for his attack””

Criminal act? Attack? Are you kidding?

Sessions was a man too used to the Senator idle lifestyle of parties and frivolous meetings. Once he became AG he actually had to get his hands dirty and work. He wasn’t used to actual work and recused himself in high profile cases opting to involve himself in mundane, BS back bench time wasters such as “the Opioid Crisis”. A lesson for our President: if real work needs to be done, don’t hire a politician.

As a senator Sessions was a good guy. I almost (?) suspect that the dems have something on him. As soon as he was picked to the the AG he ran and hid under a rock.

In California some years ago we elected Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor. He started out with a fairly conservative agenda. Then he started caving to the dems at every opportunity. Turns out he was being overly friendly with the hired help and managed to produce a child whom he does not appear to have wanted to acknowledge. The child's mother spoke with Gloria Allred. As soon as he was out of office a massive settlement was paid and the rest is history. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Jeff Sessions has been suffering from acute Arnold Schwarzenegger Syndrome for the past two years.

I think Trump is nuts to hold a press briefing everyday. They should do it once a week on Friday to give these hacks something to talk about on the weekend.

They probably got a “call” from the control center warning them to let the 1st amendment be used against a known nazi.

“President Trump shouldn’t fire Rosenstein, either Whittaker or whoever PDJT nominates should fire Rosenstein.”

I agree. Trump met with Rosenstein yesterday. No word on what transpired. I think it was to tell him Whitaker is now acting AG and they will be meeting to discuss Rosenstein’s future with the DOJ. I get the strange feeling that Rosenstein wants to stay out of prison and will figure out a way to lay this at Clapper and Brennan’s feet.

The AG, every AG is there to protect the president.

I disagree. The AG is there to protect the Constitution by enforcing the law. Democrat AG's have been treasonously derelict in their duties for decades.

I don't question the guys integrity, but his political sense. There was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes early on we don't know about. McConnell told Trump he wasn't going schedule a vote for a new AG for a year if he fired Sessions. It is been rumored that Sessions had tenured his resignation before and Trump decided not to except it. By early this year he had to know Trump-Russia collusion was a hoax and resigned. He should have left when the Fusion GPS, Strzok/Page texts, and McCabe news started accumulate in early spring.

At some point McConnell had to know this was all B.S and gave Trump the go ahead or some options. The Senate was trying to get as many judges confirmed as possible along with Kavanaugh. When Kennedy announced his retirement at the end of June, firing Sessions was likely a no go..

RIght, anything you say.

If that’s the criteria, then Sessions was doing his job.

In the real world, the AG is there to protect the president. When he doesn’t you have what Trump has had to contend with since day one.

You might recuse but you make sure that the investigation doesn’t drop in the lap of an Obama/deepstate syncophant.

You know he could have been a great, truly great AG, but right out of the gate he shows his disloyalty.

I'm inclined to reject the word "disloyalty".He was one of the first office holders of importance to publicly support DJT.

As I said earlier...."backbone" is my diagnosis.

Backbone, temerity, courage etc. I don’t disagree with you. I just don’t understand the man. He could have been really a great AG, but he took the easy road. The tough road would have been as a referee to the special counsel.

I don’t like it when our guys fail. Although I would say Trump’s intuition about people is spot on. He’s a very good judge of people.

I thought Rex Tillerson would be great. He wasn’t. He didn’t have the tools, didn’t have the loyalty.

Trump you must admit is a fast learner. He gets rid of the problems and moves on.

You can really learn a lot from him.
