Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley Adjust Positions To Support President Trump Firing Jeff Sessions
Conservative Treehouse ^ | August 23, 2018 | Sundance

Posted on 08/23/2018 2:50:32 PM PDT by detective

Earlier today Senator Lindsey Graham provided a pathway for President Trump to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions after the mid-term election. To further bolster this likelihood, Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley affirmed he could now make room for a replacement confirmation in the lame-duck congressional session between the November election and January 2019.

The statement by Senator Graham is a considerable reversal given his prior admonishment that firing AG Sessions would result in “hell to pay”; and further underlines an increasingly visible acceptance by high-profile republicans that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been an abysmal failure.

You have to wonder why they are doing a quick 180 degree turnabout.

These two were very vocal in their support of Sessions. What kind of shenanigans were they up to? I don't trust any of these rats.

Very suspicious indeed.

Congress would never approve a bulldog AG.

Graham is a lawyer, my guess is Graham apparently figured out Sessions is asleep at the wheel. Graham seems to have been more pro-Trump the last few weeks... surprisingly.

Given the the mid-terms are approaching fast, Trump appears to be waiting until afterwards before he rearranges the deck chairs. He’ll stir up the hornets nest after we keep the House and Senate. 🤞

Jeff Sessions has been a complete failure and he does even get it!

Jeff will get fired along with Rod Rosentein and Mueller. There will not be any objections coming from the Republican party. It will mainly come from the Rat party and the right arm of the Rat party.

Partner, this time around President Trump will do the interview with the person before he is hired. There is a new sheriff in town and he will make sure he does not get another Loretta Lynch or Eric Holder or that Hispanic from W. Bush as the U.S. Atty. Gen. Nuff said.

“Jeff Sessions will go down as the greatest political disappointment in history”

I’m hoping someday Sessions will give his side of the story. Mueller as well.

Graham played golf with Trump several times. From golfing for 50+ years, I can vouch that golfing makes very good friendships. I do not why, but my best friends are and were all golfers.

Yes, and he was sent to the Trump campaign on 1st day to become a confidant and insider in the campaign.

Wish it would go down that way, but it will not.

Trumps new pick would either be denied outright, or the pass/fail test will be to give our anti-American legislative branch what they want.

Additionally, the DoJ is lawfully subject to Congress. All the document stonewalling conservatives have lived through over the past couple of years, will suddenly stop, and we will see the leftists in Congress get the lawlessly fabricated docs they need to try and take out Trump right away.

Are they trying to bait Trump into doing it so that it results in obstruction charges justifying impeachment?

Jeff Sessions recused himself. He has nothing to do with the investigation. How can firing him be obstructing that investigation then?

what’s going is what i’ve been predicting for a few weeks now;namely, President Trump is going to clean house after the midterms ... in all likelihood the GOP will pick up a few seats in the Senate, so one or two disgruntled assholes like Ben Sasse, et. al. won’t be able to throw a singular monkey-wrench in the works ... that and the fact that the GOP has finally figured out that the GOP is now President Trump’s party and as his fate goes, his fate goes theirs ... clearly President Trump has been lining up Senate support to replace AG Sessions with the anticipated increased Senate majority ... once that happens, the new AG isn’t going to be doing any recusal bullshit, and will take the Deep State DoJ/FBI bull by the horns and either rein in Rodenstein and Muller or simply fire them, Ohr and a whole shitpile others outright ...

Sessions needs to resign. That would be the gentlemanly thing to do...

"Graham is a snake. Why the complete flip flop?"

Because Graham wants the job. Down-low, straight-up, he wants to be AG.

> Mueller as well.

What the hell? What has Mueller been doing? He’s certainly not giving anyone else’s side of the story.

If Mueller is a crook, what “side” can he give that we would want to hear?

That makes sense. He’s going to be disappointed.
