Discussion: Axios: Trump Told Sessions He'd Be A 'Hero' If He Undid Russia Probe Recusal

Yes. People making administrative decisions based on interpreted DOJ regulations are always described as “heroes”. That’s very normal and extremely powerful and big.

God deliver me from this ambulatory bag of diarrhea.

This shows how weak Trump really is… he appointed Sessions and he can fire Sessions; however, he is so weak he cannot do it.

Yeah I think he’s been warned not to by the Senate.

Otherwise he would have done it I think by now. He just keeps trying to push Sessions into quitting.

He almost had Sessions when he promised him he could wear a white sheet to work instead of a business suit, but Sessions held out for personally escorting little brown kids to their “holding camp”.

That’s funny.

Silly me, I didn’t really think it was Sessions’ choice to recuse. Trump is so blatantly ignorant of the law, just another reason he really should be impeached. He lied when he took the oath of office.

“Trump has raged publicly and privately about Sessions’ recusal, and even Tweeted Wednesday that he regretted picking Sessions as attorney general.”

I think it’s safe to say we all regret Trump picking Sessions as attorney general.

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;

Lie

and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.[6]

Lie

I think the Lies have it.

O he’s so impeachable and he’s been so impeachable ever since he took office.

Maybe someone should tell Trump he’d be a hero if he’d just resign already.

Book this muthafucka’ for obstruction already.

This information is pretty damning though. There are multiple obstruction tracks: Comey, Flynn, TT meeting response, Sessions, McCabe, Nunes coordination. Book him for all of them.

I heard today that to pursue an OOJ charge Rosenstein would have to recuse himself from the oversight of the OSC since he’s a likely witness. That would not be good.

I don’t think he would. Mueller and Rosenstein have been over this issue. Rosenstein’s actions did not require recusal. If Rosenstein is called as a witness, it means we’re at trial and Trump is likely out of office.

You can’t undo a recusal. You can’t undo what’s been done according to regulations of the DOJ. trump has zero concept even now a year and a half into his term of how the government operates.
This is deliberate and willful incompetence. Maybe there are take backs in golf but not in court.

A hero? Did Trump promise him a statue like Jefferson Davis?

The talking head indicated the McCabe memo was a factor.

Hoping Rosenstein sticks with it.

I can’t keep up with all the acronyms. I suspect this one has something to do with lawyers…
