I don’t recall the FBI “wringing its hands” when it decided, at the 11th hour, to revisit Hillary’s emails.

Well! If Paul “Finger in the Wind” Ryan said Sessions should recuse himself, he does have some problems.

While it’s true the director of the FBI is apparently in Putin’s pocket, individual agents in the field may have indeed agonized, the more so because they knew Comey would protect Sessions.

Director Comey did an exhaustive search of Hillary’s email server, and could find absolutely nothing to implicate AG Sessions.

Shortest argument for Sessions’ resignation:

Sessions is a person of interest to the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and Congressional intelligence committees. Totally untenable position for an A-G.

Did this “investigation” check into why the party platform was changed in Russia’s favor re:Ukraine? Or was Sessions meeting with the ambassador at the convention just a “Thank you?”

Oh my goodness. They’re imposing the secrecy they falsely attributed to the Obamacare process. Now even Rand is frustrated and a guy from NY implies that Albany would hesitate to be so secretive. A new low for DC!

paulie very deftly used ‘would’ not should. which sounds like he’s hoping for it to happen. a little bit more moral force with ‘should’

“If he himself is the subject of an investigation, of course he would” recuse himself Ryan said, responding to a reporter. “But if he’s not, I don’t see any purpose or reason to doing this.”

If that were to happen, I would begin to believe that there really is some justice in this world.
