“How on earth did they find him? Did they rattle a half full prescription bottle to get his attention?”

LOL!

Sessions has been excellent against the Illegals.

The fact the 5 RINO senators want Magoo Sessions to stay in his position is proof the he is playing a vital role for them......

Sessions has enabled Trump’s enemies to utilize Obama’s weaponized DOJ in the furtherance of the Conspiracy of Sedition against the lethally elected President.

Sessions needs to be exposed......it will be interesting to read what some investigative reporter eventually turns to explain Sessions ‘playing possum’ so immediately after taking office.

“Can’t help but think that the Trump/Sessions ‘rift’ is a ruse.”

It’s not even that much of a ruse.

Trump simply needs a scapegoat as AG to take the blame for the fact that Hillary Clinton and the rest of Obama’s co-conspirators aren’t in jail and the witch hunt is still happening.

These deep state coup co-conspirators all have counter-intelligence and swamp-bureaucrat backgrounds - if there’s one thing these people are good at its covering their asses. They know the laws inside and out and they know where the cameras are so-to-speak. They know how to stay just this side of the law so that even when it is obvious what they are doing, they are technically breaking no law. Their threats, bribes, blackmail, frame-ups and cover-ups are all documented and worded in such a way that they can’t be pinned down. They maintain plausible deniability. It’s like the classic mafia threat that’s not a threat: “that’s a beautiful family you got there....it would be a real shame if something were to happen to them....”

Think about it - there are books like Greg Jarret’s that spell out the details of their conspiracy and even name names, yet these people are still walking around smug and unafraid - some even still have their jobs!

Bottom line is that these people can’t be stopped - legally at least. Neither the AG nor any other “white hats” at the DOJ can do anything through legal channels because all they are guilty of are potential conflicts of interest, and personal “bias” against the president, which can’t even be proven to have impacted their decisions. All ‘evidence’ against them is here-say, circumstantial, inadmissible, tangential, speculative or otherwise insufficient to build a case.

Trump knows that if he replaces Jeff Sessions with a tough, non-recused AG, there will STILL be no indictments, and STILL the witch hunt will drag on - but now there will be no one left to blame.

So, he complains about Sessions publicly, but stops short of doing anything to remove him. I don’t blame Sessions for being tired of it - but serving as a scapegoat when needed is a part of the job.

These Senators need to be schooled by the FR Sessions’ apologists that there is no need to worry because Jeff is secretly in cahoots with Trump to expose and take down the FBI/DOJ/CIA cabal.
***************************************************************
They are definitely NOT in cohoots. But Sessions has INADVERTENTLY, by letting DOJ/FBI staffers run wild, made it clear to tens of millions of additional Americans that there is indeed a MALEVOLENT DEEP STATE.

After the election or, better yet, after the new more MAGA Congress is sworn in in January, Sessions’ resignation should be accepted. Then we can go after the bad actors BIG TIME.

[And yet Texas will re-elect him.]


Texas will elect whatever Republican is the primary winner when Cornyn comes up for re-election. If Trump puts his thumb on the scale by endorsing the other guy, Cornyn will not be that nominee.

I guess I shouldn’t make to much of the fact that they’re all RINOs to the core.

Trump has not endorsed a primary challenger to a sitting Senator. It’s more likely he will endorse the swamp creature, he endorsed McCain and Romney.

Sessions said he is growing tired of Trump berating him over the Russia investigation, from which Sessions recused himself because he played a role on the Trump campaign. Trump has not let up on that point for a year-and-a-half.


Awwwww. Poor widdle Jeffy!

I have an idea then - DO YOUR BLANKING JOB!

Oh, wait. I FORGOT his blanking job seems to be to screw up the Trump Presidency and he’s actually been doing a very good job of it.

Well before their primaries, Trump crushed Flake’s and Corker’s chances of re-election by relentlessly targeting them. No Trump endorsement was necessary - they would have lost to their primary opponents.

The DS conspirators remain confident because we haven't yet moved to extra-judicial resolution. However, even poor students of history well know what steps come next. The only real open issue is who are the targets: patriots or the enemy?

Right now, the players seem to think they may be able to survive and turn the tables. That's when we all go dark. OTOH, if Trump prevails and moves to the next stage, we may actually see some sweat break out.
