You conceded that Sessions was

I didn't concede anything. I've been telling you mean-old FReepers that Sessions was working quietly behind the scenes on the sealed indictments. He was just playing a role.

You realize that Sessions was an Army Captain and can be recalled anytime, right?

Think military tribunals. He could be a judge or a juror.

Supposed “conservative judges” do not necessarily mean strict constructionists as can be seen by recent rulings by a “conservative” judge appointed by President Trump. The judges ruling in the CNN / Acosta case proves that even Trump appointed judges - especially those who recommend them - cannot be trusted to follow the law. Using bad precedent instead of the law still can happen.

Jeff screwed us with his recusal.

That is done.

He DID waylay MS-13.

Flake, who is retiring in January, is refusing to support judicial nominees until he gets a vote on legislation protecting special counsel Robert Mueller.

So, when are these “sealed indictments” going to be unsealed?

Threaten to scuttle Flake’s pick if he doesn’t play ball on the rest. Let him explain to her why supporting Mueller and hating Trump was more important than her career.

Infuriated...why, exactly?
