No, it’s not really any “big deal” until the Mueller group is completely disbanded. They can say this now, but they can change the game at any time. Mueller is just trying to lure POTUS Trump into a personal interview/interrogtation, which Trump should NEVER agree to (we have seen how easy it is for FBI/DOJ to concoct “process crimes” out of any differing testimonies, no matter how trivial the differences).

Doesn’t have to be your view or mine. It is the truth.

>>So telling Trump that he’s not a target is a very big deal.
*********************************************************
No! Telling Trump he’s not a target AT THIS TIME is NO big deal. Today he’s not a target, but after his interview with Mueller, different story.

What IS a big deal is:

Last August, Mueller sought special authorization from Rosenstein to EXPAND his investigation beyond the original scope, to areas having NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIAN COLLUSION, and Rosenstein admits he granted that authorization.

SESSIONS DID NOT OVERRULE ROSENSTEINS’S AUTHORIZATION to expand the witch hunt. Sessions has a moral duty and authority to overrule this obvious nefarious move. Remember, he did not recuse himself from areas BEYOND the original investigation.

This whole investigation is based on NO crime, it is like those General Warrants our FF endured with King George, who used to regularly issue these General Warrants against anyone who dared to criticize him. The net effect being, the lawyers would go witch hunting in search of a crime, which they always managed to “find”.

215 days until the midterm elections. If we do well, Sessions is out. If we don’t, POTUS and Patriots are out, and Deep State wins.

Mueller may say that but Trump has always been the target. This investigation or to be specific, this setup was and is about getting Trump

As Rush said a few minutes ago, Trump is not only a target, he is the only target.

Those bags usually have fine print on the individual pieces of candy saying not for individual sale. So yup, that’s a crime!

Shucks small potato stuff, just imagine how many tags he has pulled off those hotel mattresses.

It's one or the other. Which kind of AG do you want?

Clearly you are pulling for the loser type, so here, use this one.

Well, gollee gee. I didn't know that.

The "truth" according to whom? The media? The politicians? The partisan political parties? The Pope? Who gets to define the truth? You?

The "truth" is surprisingly difficult to define. Ironically, every definition of truth that philosophers have developed falls prey to the same question, "Is it true?"

The "truth" is an elusive fiction some chase to rationalize their own opinions.

So when you find the "truth", let me know so I can start paying attention.

Right now I gotta get back to doing my taxes.

I've learned not to dwell on things I can't control.

So why bother trying to control those of us that think Sessions is a charter member of the deep state?

I've already stated my opinion that we don't get to pick the AG. Trump does. He picked Sessions. And Sessions is still in the office and we have to deal with that.

Whether you think he's a loser or not, is immaterial the fact that he is still the AG.

It's awful easy to criticize but it's much more difficult to come up with alternative ideas and solutions.

So besides just pointing out the fact that you don't like my opinion by mocking me, where is you're alternative?

What's your idea to make what is, different? No matter what you come up with, it's not going to change the fact that Sessions is still the AG.

Unless you can effect some change, it's just my opinion versus your mocking attitude about my opinion.

You have no skin in this game you play. Don't tell me where I stand on this issue. I already know where I stand. I support Sessions because he is all we have right now.

The question is, where do you stand?

The truth according to the statements of the man you defend so vigorously, Jeff Sessions.

Who's trying to "control" you. Not me.

I'm just offering a differing opinion.

Is that okay with you, Mr. Controller?

Trump will ALWAYS be a target and the game will NOT be over until we have dismantled the 80% unconstitutional portion of the feds and restored our Free Constitutional Republic.

-——where do you stand?——

The simple answer is no stand. As with many many here, they can do nothing but spew the anti Sessions group think

Pretty clear when you are confined to a 6 by 8 cell, may not be THE truth but a truth all the same.

The sun still comes up in the morning where I live and I am pretty sure I can tell the difference, you on the there hand insist I believe it is still dark when I can clearly see it is not.

If Sessions were a paid Democratic mole the result could have hardly been any different for Trump.

You confuse "truth" with "reality".

They are not the same.

WHEN DID ERIC HOLDER EVER RECUSE HIMSELF?

That's the difference. Holder and the entire administration fought to the last man (or pansy or cow). Including the Surpreme Court, where the woman who helped write the Obamacare bill voted to make it constitutional.

Trump swings, Trump punches back...the rest...nothing.
