Dating all the way back to July of 2017, Trump has made his unhappiness known – saying that Sessions “has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes…”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2017
Indeed, when the true scope of Clinton’s crimes are taken into account, the true penchant is the utter silence from the AG regarding the precedent set by Clinton and her cronies. Setting up an unsecure home server, deleting 33,000 e-mails, and having aides smash their previously-used devices with hammers are all historic abuses of power (instances that have harped on time and time again, no doubt) that have – insofar – gone unanswered.
In early 2018, Trump bashed Sessions for redirecting the investigation of Obama-era FISA abuse to the Inspector General (whose report is still missing in action but supposedly imminent). President Trump ends the tweet, “Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!”; showcasing a seemingly growing frustration with Sessions and his lack of action.
Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!

In April, President Trump took another shot at Sessions. Citing Fox News, Trump referenced GOP lawmakers who were asking Sessions to investigate Comey and Hillary Clinton…
“GOP Lawmakers asking Sessions to Investigate Comey and Hillary Clinton.” @FoxNews Good luck with that request!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 22, 2018
Trump’s response? “Good luck with that request!”
Then, in May, Trump quoted former U.S. attorney, Joe diGenova who called the recusal of Jeff Sessions “an unforced betrayal of the President of the United States”.
“The recusal of Jeff Sessions was an unforced betrayal of the President of the United States.” JOE DIGENOVA, former U.S. Attorney.

Was Sessions’ recusal pre-planned and orchestrated by Trump to appear impartial regarding the findings of the Russia investigation – which he knew would result in a big nothingburger on the Democrat’s end?
Are Trump’s chides and barbs toward Sessions on Twitter so the Mainstream Media can’t accuse Trump of going after political opponents? If the hammer were to ever drop and justice came, it would be very easy and opportune for Trump to point out the numerous times he blasted his Attorney General and therefore distance himself from the debacle.
Most recently, President Trump even went so far as to blame the continuation of the Russia investigation on Sessions for his recusal. Interestingly, Trump also says that if he knew Sessions was going to recuse himself – he would have picked someone else.
….chief law enforcement officer, and they told me later, ‘oh by the way I’m not going to be able to participate in the most important case in the office, I would be frustrated too…and that’s how I read that – Senator Sessions, why didn’t you tell me before I picked you…..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2018
….There are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else!” And I wish I did!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2018
The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself…I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined…and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018
If these are his true thoughts, why doesn’t he simply fire Sessions and replace him with a better pick? It’s no secret that the the turnover rate at Trump’s White House is exceedingly high. Let’s look back at many of the administration officials fired by President Trump:
- James Comey
- Sally Yates
- Preet Bharara
- Anthony Scaramucci
- Steve Bannon
- Rex Tillerson
- H.R. McMaster
- David Shulkin
Trump’s famous catchphrase is “You’re Fired!“, after all. If he were as unhappy with Sessions as it may seem, why wouldn’t he quickly remove him and put someone he was happy with in one of the most important positions of his administration?
It’s understandable that the actual process of laws, justice, and America’s court systems can move at a monolithic pace and doesn’t beckon to the call of any one person or my personal yearnings. However, as more time passes, the more it seems that the corruption and criminality performed by the Democrats will simply fade away and their misdeeds will go entirely unpunished – like usual.
Most likely, there is no in-between: either Trump and Sessions are pulling off the greatest and clandestine political maneuver of our time, or Sessions is as lackadaisical as he seems. Truly, only time will tell.
Pray. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Playing everyone?
That might tend to imply Sessions is playing 8D intergalactic chess.
Aw let poor old grampa sleep.

Sessions is Deep State. No doubt in my mind he’s there to keep the lid on. I also believe Trump appointed him under duress; possibly to the point of having his or his families’ lives threatened. Ever wonder why he hasn’t been fired?
Trump selected Sessions primarily for his early support and his tough stand on immigration, which seems real enough. Sessions never really understood what Trump really intended to do to the Deep State and is caught like a deer in the headlights. he can´t even grasp what is at stake. he is a fuddy-duddy Southern gentleman (I know the type), a decent, patriotic, God-fearing man who is horrified at the thought of offending his old “friends” in Congress, or throwing down the gauntlet to the Deep State. He has to go, now.
Here is a preview of one of the items for the next “transitions” piece that will be posted here on July 1st:
—-
– After initially promising to provide Russia investigation documents to congressional lawmakers, the U.S. Department of Justice reneged on a commitment to provide access to the documents.
Paraphrased from Sara Carter’s (above linked) article:
“The DOJ contended the documents were highly sensitive material but, in fact, the documents were not considered to contain high-level national security information. Of course, congressional sources claimed any documentation that was provided would be highly redacted; although lawmakers did question the Justice Department’s decision to provide any documentation only during the highly anticipated start of Trump’s historic summit with North Korea.”

These bastards are acting so obviously guilty. It seems to me Sessions is compromised, if not completely captured. Why did he step down in the first place? Because, power.
Unless…
Oh yeah. Here’s another preview item from the next transition compilation (for July):
—
– After months of mysterious delays, a July 3, 2018 plea agreement hearing was set to explore ways to conceal the crimes of former Democratic National Committee IT aide Imran Awan and his wife Hina Alvi. They will appear before U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan in Washington.

We’re going to know soon. I don’t know what we’re going to know – but whatever it is – we’re going to know soon.
This is straight out of the Q-Anon playbook: Sessions is play-acting; he’s really on the president’s side. Same with Mueller. All so the Deep State thinks it’s winning when really it’s being set up. Possible but unlikely.
If it looks like a turd and smells like a turd, its very likely a turd-to the point that it profits one greatly to assume it is, treat it accordingly and rest that statistically speaking the object was handled rightly whether or not it is actually a turd. Ergo, Jeff Sessions is a turd and should be fired. If a thing is inevitable it should be imminent. Flush the turd. Down he goes. America deserves better. Daylight’s burning baby!
I’m betting on “Asleep at the wheel”, but I hope I’m wrong.
The Veneer of Justice in a Kingdom of Crime
Probably the best video out there that explains the shit show we are currently witnessing today.
Like the first comment States. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Sessions is not an independent agent. He works for Trump. Shekelface should pull the blue white flag out of his ass and give Sessions some orders
Any government appointee , employee , elected badge wearing or not that finds humor and zeal regarding asset forfiture used against American citizens without true and honest due process and confiscate private property or assets is a piece of shit that needs to be held to account stripped of all wealth and position then lashed to the point of unconsciousness and any giving him or her safe harbor will recieve the same !
GO HOME SESSIONS OR
WHERE EVER YOU GO
JUST GET OUT OF WASHINGTON
YOU BLEW A GREAT REPUTATION
