Sessions Out

Welp, back to the cookie factory.

As much as I thoroughly disliked Sessions and disagreed with him on probably just about every major policy he pushed, he at least understood the role of the office.

I wonder how the Democrats will stop this one-wait they lost the Senate hard.

Weird how you weren't writing similar posts in 2016 about how horrible it was that the GOP lost a few Senate seats.

I thought Sessions would make it to Thursday. Just going to take a wild, crazy stab at this... Trump is terrified of the Mueller probe.

Obviously the actions of a innocent man.

Please humour an out-of-towner....

How does the Reps keeping the Senate (as the polling suggested they would) have an influence on any investigation of Trump and Co...?

Yeah, weird an innocent man would need the help of a friendly Senate.

...If it is true, it means that the probe is already over. Those reports take a while to write.

Especially if one of the unindicted co-conspirators keeps doing things which look an awful lot like obstruction of justice. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Maybe you are just too sane compared to the people I usually discuss this with, but if Mueller had any evidence that the president and a foreign power had concluded, then he would not have waited.

No, that doesn't fit with his previous MO in any way I've seen.

Most of the Never-Trumpers I have spoken with think that Mueller is going to reveal that Putin and Trump are lovers or something like that.

I don't believe this for a second.

I think that people are too focused on Mueller here.

The FISA documents, the Clinton investigation, the Russia investigation, all the Spygate crap, it's all back on the table.

Based on what evidence?

All of those investigations are pretty much completed now, but they couldn't really go anywhere because Jeff Sessions had recused himself

I'm pretty sure this is totally disconnected from how the Justice Department actually works.

but that's not an issue anymore. I think that Trump is going to hunt himself some witches now.

Yay! Show trials for everyone! We'll show those third world dictatorships how it is really done!

Or had seen enough of the evidence to be terrified of getting caught up in it.
