Discussion: McCarthy, Chaffetz Say Sessions Should Recuse Himself From Russia Probes

Nope. Recusal would require more good faith. Itā€™s not enough to recuse yourself when youā€™re one of the objects of an investigation being done by an agency youā€™re still the head of. Nope nope nope.

Come on, guys. Letā€™s be fair. If Hillary had made the same mistake, Chaffetz and McCarthy would very even-handedly seek to determine the facts without pre-judging the situation.

Sauce for the gooseā€¦

I think the Donald was correct. So much winning Iā€™m getting tired of all the winning.

Sure Chaffetz is fine with saying that Sessions should recuse himself from any future investigations because he has no intention of conducting any investigations into PeePeeā€™s ties to Russia!

Also, just heard that Sessions met with Kislyak ā€œin his officeā€ but that the office in question was Sessionsā€™ RNC office!

Nope, nothing to see here, no talk about the campaign at the RNC, all completely above board.

Absolutely. Itā€™s too little, too late.

But when two hyperpartisan Republican House ā€œleadersā€ call for recusal, I think weā€™ve reached a turning point.

If I were Trump, my worry level would be at def con 10. Of course, I wouldnā€™t have sold out my country.

ā€œI donā€™t know that thereā€™s anything between the Trump campaign and the
Russians. Iā€™m not going to base my decision based on newspaper
articles,ā€ he said during a CNN town hall.
ā€œIf there is something there, and it goes up the chain of
investigation, it is clear to me that Jeff Sessions, who is my dear
friend, cannot make this decision about Trump.ā€

Translation from weasel-talk: If this, and then that, and if this also, then maybe x cannot equal y.

You would have to have ethics, morals and values to not sell out your country. Trump has none of thoseā€¦nor do the vast majority of the ā€˜newā€™ cabinet secretaries. They believe in the buck and everything else is for the ā€˜little peopleā€™.

With so much suckage, itā€™s hard to name the top one.

I agree. I think when Chaffetz is calling for this, not only is he seriously worried about his own seat, but even they can see the writing on the wall (no pun intended).
