I would thin that if Sessions had any self pride at all, he would resign.

The Deep State forced Jeff to recuse, and they won't let him quit. They've effectively neutered the office of AG.

Neat, huh?

If that stooge Sessions had any pride he wouldn’t be swimming in the septic swamp he lives in.

President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions are stuck in a dysfunctional relationship — and there looks to be no escape in sight.

****************

Wrong. The day after the Horowitz report is released Trump should fire Sessions using the rationale that the department has endemic problems that REQUIRE new leadership committed to restoring integrity and public confidence in the DOJ and FBI.

I hope Trump fires him in a the most dismissive way possible.

Fire the guy or quit whining out it.

Agree, enough with this talk. Time for action.

He has been, and continues to be, a useful resource to them. They want him to remain in place. They have more “tasks” in mind for their plant.

If Jeffery B. Sessions was an Honorable man he would quit now! He doesn’t need to ask POTUS for permission, all he has to do is announce that he is resigning effective at 4pm.

Failure to do so shows that Sessions is not an honorable man and will end up being the joke that most of us think he is.

Is Sessions a star witness for Mueller’s bogus obstruction investigation? Something tells me he is.

I'm with you. Sessions portrays himself as being honorable. He needs to hand in his resignation if he can't bring charges against Hillary and the rest of them. The evidence of crimes is overwhelming.

“Fire the guy or quit whining out it.”..

The “old” Donald Trump would have already fired Sessions but, we have a “new” Donald, the kinder, genteeler, Donald. He WILL eventually give Sessions the option to gracefully step down to save his reputation or, at worst be fired. So far that option doesn't seem to been offered, at least not yet.

The strategist argued that this view was “very unfair” to the attorney general

As if no other president expected his Attorney General to be in tune with, and support, his agenda and goals.

Imagine the reaction if Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch had not supported Obama.

Sessions' blind eye to all of the corruption in the FBI and DOJ and his willingness to let corrupt Obama holdovers run wild in the DOJ do not make him an object of sympathy.

Sessions has got to go. He’s not doing the job he was appointed to do.

Or Sessions could do his damn job. There’s no reason to carry water for Jeff and insult the president here. I must have missed all the “recuse yourself” rallies.

It's now 5D, don't you know. We say such thinking that the Sessions supporters and Q-bots are too filled with glee at the moment to respond to this latest gambit.

“But there have been no similar revelations this year, suggesting that Sessions intends to stay in his position absent an outright firing.”

He’s the Ringer for the Deep State.

His job is to be a buffer between Trump and Rosenstein.

I’m not sure he would leave even if Trump fired him publicly.

There is a very simple way out. Resign Sessions. You suck and you’ve been ineffective. Tell the American people that you’ve lost the confidence of the President and don’t feel that you can continue in your job.

I'd guess a HUNDRED-THOUSAND or more Tweets directed to Trump's Twitter account asking for Sessions to be REMOVED would certainly MOTIVATE the POTUS.

The Senate IS out of town THIS WEEK on the memorial Day break. So, why not do it NOW?

Because even though they are out of town they are never out of session. One of them stays behind and gavels a "Pro Forma" session where they read the box scores from USA Today for two minutes or something. So long as they do this every day there is no recess. (Obama challenged this and lost at SCOTUS).

We need to be cranking up the heat on The Turtle to 11 to stop this.

I think Trump is not firing anybody because the more the wheels come off of this scam in a very public way, the more it is helping Trump.
