Full Title: More #FakeNews: Liberal Media Trashes Trump with Sessions Dinner Meeting Pic …That Was Planned Weeks Ago!

On Wednesday morning, President Trump slammed Attorney General Jeff Sessions for directing Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to probe Obama-era FISA abuses.

Later in the day the liberal media slammed President Trump after a photo was released of Jeff Sessions at dinner with Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and Solicitor General Noel Francisco

Axios reporters Johnathan Swan and Alayna Treene said “the symbolism was unmistakable.”

The three top ranking officials in the Justice Department appearing together in a show of solidarity on the same day Trump is publicly and privately raging about Sessions.

However, it was not until the end of the Axios article that they reported this nugget:

A source close to Sessions, who has spoken with him, says that this meeting was “in no way planned as pushback or an act of solidarity against the president.” The source said Solicitor General Noel Francisco requested the meeting some time ago to talk about carrying out various aspects of the department’s and administration’s agenda.

It’s devolved from fake news into non-news.

I guess Sessions took off his pussy hat before he entered the restaurant.

How could you possibly know if that’s the truth or a lie coming out of DC?

I don’t care what it was. That image of Deep State Jeff breaking bread with Rosenweasel is sickening. Trump should fire both and appoint an interim he is the POTUS.

Nothing to see here, right?

A picture of Sessions dining with a guy who signed off on a fraudulent FISC application, is worth a thousand words.

The attacks we’ve seen against Trump are only “heck” compared with the full unbridled Hell that will he unleashed once the resccoendations from the IG report and other ongoing investigations come out. Thus this disinformation campaign, so Trump can act surprised and deflect allegations that he has used the DOJ against his political enemies.

Of course they will try anyway, but all this gives him credible deniability. “Hell, I thought Sessions was just screwin’ off”, he can say. “ I didn’t think that guy was doing anything! But now, wow look at all these charges and people who need to get locked up!”.

This is the damn stupid thing Sessions has done is trying to set up Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to investigate. Horowitz has no power to indite by grand jury. Sessions has now shown he is a communist Democrat and is trying to cover up his involvement in the corruption. Trump must fire Sessions and quickly set up a new AJ. Then install a new Special Counsel to investigate he entire communist empire with no delay.

This is not a show of solidarity in the DOJ.

This is exactly what Trump wants them to say - for Sessions to appear he does not have an agenda aligned with Trump, then, boom, it all comes out, and Trump is not a part of it.

Good thing you’re not a Trump advisor, but I’m sure he would never offer you the job.

Well, well, well!

This proves that 'the media' can, and does, follow people around to watch what they do/where they go/who they are with.
The problem is who they choose to, and not to, follow around and if it ever gets published.

Alternative.
If 'the media' doesn't simply follow people around...who let them know about the meeting for them to be Johnny on the spot to take the pictures?

Yes it’s a good thing he left the architect of the coup there/s. Rosenstein gave Mueller a blank check and an unlimited charter not to methe threatened Nunes to try to stop the memo, but you think Trump should not have fired him apparently.

Jeff doesn’t have to worry about fundraising anymore and thus doesn’t care what things ‘look like’ to the base who were quite serious about ‘lock her up!’

Secret society meeting?

Not on purpose? It either was on purpose or Sessions is stupid. So no good outcome.
