Jeff Sessions has just resigned

[Hayabusa Rider]

Well he's out pretty quickly.

 

[FIVR]

SO MUCH WINNING!

 

[compuwiz1]

He was a useless ass clown anyway.

BTW, got a link?

Perhaps. Trump will look for an anti-Mueller choice above all other considerations. If I were Mueller I'd be making copies of everything for the GJ to mail off to Congress.

Trump demanded his resignation.

Womp womp

Read: did not do enough to obstruct justice and contribute to the death of checks and balances in US government.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Surprise!

 

[Blackjack200]

Presumably Trump will replace him with someone worse, which introduces the ontological problem of imagining a human being worse than Jeff Sessions.

 

[jackstar7]

Pity that Dems didn't get the Senate.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Trump demanded his resignation.

Not one good word for Trump, all for his department. At least he didn't suck Trump off at the end of things.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

This is really gonna be something.

 

[K1052]

By all accounts the acting AG is a hardcore GOP partisan who wants the Muller investigation shut down. I assume Mueller is moving against DJT family.

Whatever they're trying to bury will come out.

 

[VRAMdemon]

In comes someone willing to fire Rosenstein and Mueller

 

[K1052]

This thread should read "Sessions Fired"

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Well... This can't be good.

 

[Linux23]

well that escalated quickly. he didn't even wait a few days after the election.

 

[FIVR]

Mueller could've indicated or subpoenaed Trump before the midterms but he didn't. It's his problem if he doesn't want to do his job. I thought prosecutors were there to hold people accountable but apparently Mueller is just there to pretend something is being done.


Thankfully Trump doesn't know that his republican-run fake investigation isn't going anywhere and has decided he must end it. The process of his trying to end the investigation will be his undoing. This is great news for democracy.

 

[sactoking]

But those House Dems better not investigate anything!

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

And so the first real acts of war after midterms are seen this day. Trump to command the Senate, to hold the House hostage by burning the nation to the ground if it does not protect him.

This could be uglier than even Trump hopes.

 

[K1052]

Were I a betting man Mueller is already done and whatever indictments are to be handed done are already signed and under seal.

A report on Trump's obstruction likely written and ready.

I could see Lindsey Graham since SC is a safe seat for the GOP and Trump probably told Nikki Haley the seat is hers if she wants it

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Now if they say that Noel Francisco will oversee Mueller there is something bad about to happen. He got an ethics waiver in April which waives his requuirement to recuse himself from any matter involving his firm, Jones Day. His law firm has ties to the investigation itself.

However, CREW has discovered that the Trump administration issued Mr. Francisco an ethics waiver on April 24, 2018. The waiver relieves him from any obligation to honor his ethics pledge to recuse from investigations involving Jones Day. The waiver states only that he is relieved of this obligation and offers no justification whatsoever. It simply waives the obligation, thereby eliminating one of the three obstacles to his overseeing the Special Counsel investigation.

Kris Kobach is available though...

What if they're not finding anything to hang on Trump? I've said it before and I'll say it again, this has ALL the markings of a political witch hunt, nothing of substance.
