Why are all you people buying this? It’s the Washington Post.

They’re wrong way more than they’re right when it comes to Trump.

In the article it says Rosenstein hired Mueller without first discussing with Sessions yet Sessions feels loyalty to quit if Rosenstein gets fired then to resign to help his President. He had a duty to tell the President he would have to recuse himself which would have given his President the option to appoint someone else.

So his loyalty is to Rosenstein and not the President.

Sessions was a purposeful snake!!!!

Pelosi desperately wants Trump to fire someone so her pandering for donations using the claim people are getting fired by Trump will have some truth too it. Recall, she claimed Mueller was fired lie it was a done deal in her last call for donations.
So not they are being a little sneakier through Bezos’ Wash Po... Bezos is the same guy who has another media outlet, albeit a minor one, claiming that Trump’s airstrikes didn’t hit anything important.

Yep...failing to see the downside on that one.
Sessions is greatly responsible for the silliness going on right now by his damnable recusal. He should have been fired when he pulled that stunt.

All I know is these guys sure don’t behave like they work for Trump.

Enough is enough.

Well, we would likely be without an AG for the foreseeable future then. Some little inner voice is telling me this has been orchestrated by the Dems. Does ANYONE think the Dems would confirm RUDY??? Pompeo was already confirmed once.....and now they are giving him grief. There has to be a better way for the President to be able to get those around him that he trusts and that will do the job he wants.

Here we have the Attorney General threatening to quit his job if the President fires his underling, Rosenstein, who is out of control doing unnecessary actions to undermine Trump and punish his associates, namely Cohen.

Sessions has good reason to fire Rosenstein and should do it himself.

Maybe return the favor of RR buying you dinner, and take him out to dinner.

Then eat his lunch.

OK, not that is really funny. Funniest thing I’ve heard all day. Thanks for the chuckle. (Sad, but oh so true!)

Well, you would think we will know soon enough:

Sessions apparently conveyed his sentiments in a phone call with Don McGahn, the White House counsel.

Is it not Trump’s practice to humiliate the WaPo for publishing fake news, while at the same time correcting the lie? But you know this story won’t be corrected—or you should.

And all the while he stood by DJT, wearing his little MAGA cap, knowing what stealth role he was playing. He will answer “to a higher power” (take that, Comey!) for serving Satan.

Breathlessly waiting on Reddit and 8chan for the next move. A simple "Trust Sessions" should suffice. Or a confirmation from Corsi.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein...


What laughable fake news.
As if “the White House” would give a crap if Sessions quit.

“Washington Post, unnamed sources, bull$hit story.”

I’m with you. If Sessions actually threatened that, Trump would have him out the door before another breath was drawn.
