“filling the Senate seat of the new AG—Lindsey Graham...”

You trust Graham? I sure as hell don’t. I’ll give him credit where credit is due during the Kavanaugh hearings, but I am a *long* ways away from trusting him.

All of the Sessions cheerleaders are not surprisingly silent on this news. Still waiting to hear from LS, one of Sessions biggest supporters.

Its clear Sessions painted himself into a corner with his recusal and was never able in 2 years to figure a way out. He cost Trump 2 years of not having a functioning DOJ!

He shouldn’t have taken the job if he was going to be this “inflexible”. bBy doing so he allowed the continued the dysfunctional behavior of the DOJ, the FBI, and by not jumping on the problem immediately, likely has forever tainted the FISA system. Maybe to the point it must be disbanded, This we may pay dearly for in future with costly damaging “intelligence surprises”.

..going by his behavior in the Kavanaugh hearings, I saw something I never had while McCain was around. At the end of the day, whatever DJT says is ok with me...

I like Jeff Session BUT

HE was the wrong man, at the wrong time, for this job.

> HE was the wrong man, at the wrong time, for this job.

Absolutely true, for the AG job. One of Trump’s biggest mistakes in my opinion. But I don’t want to forget “Sessions the campaigner” as we hate “Sessions the AG”. 2 different jobs he has done for Trump.

My favorite attribute of Trump is the ability to pick the right man/woman for the job at any given time - and to make changes. Has any other president won with 3 different campaign managers? For whatever reason, Trump chose wrong with Sessions for AG.

He’s not a wartime consigliere.

Thank you for your comments on Sessions. I have been a fan of his for years, but sadly found him extremely lacking as AG. I have wondered if the job was above his abilities or that he just couldn’t bring himself to indict those he has worked with for years or if he or his family were threatened. Whatever the reason I wish he had had the dignity to resign as AG when he decided to recuse himself. We have lost precious time and negative attention because of his failure as AG.

SESSIONS WAS GREAT.
A politicized DOJ was the last thing Trump needed.

Of course now that’s changed with the Dems and media having the resources of the House at their command. In a war between the Executive and a crooked, rich elite with a legiskative branch in it’s hands Sessions is not the man to lead.

People expect Trump to be a surgeon with a scapal.
Nope, he has a chainsaw.

“But I LOVE SESSIONS.”


You lost not only your password.
Repeat after me: SESSIONS IS A TRAITOR.

Me neither. If he’s fishing for something, he’s copying the Sessions trick. Talking nice about Trump to advantage his ambitions.
