Poll: When will AG Sessions resign?

[wirelessenabled]

I think another poll is in order.

 

[wirelessenabled]

I voted 2 months. Sessions is such a piece of work that it is surprising that he was even confirmed, but of course The Donald is even a bigger piece of work and look where he is. Hope our Country survives all this.

 

[IronWing]

Walked away from at least three more years in the Senate to spend a few months waving his ass at the nation, what a loser.

I agree, look at poor old (looking) KellyAnne Conway. She is busy trying to support the unsupportable trump and even her husband is saying that is a bridge too far.

Sessions is just too biased to understand what he stepped in to. Thought there might be some rationality there but he and the rest are wrong, Trump IS a complete disaster.

I think he's in it for the long haul... However long it lasts. Mitchie will talk him down from resigning...

I feel zero compassion for either of them, they knew what Trump was going in. If they chose to close their eyes to it, that was their problem.

I think Sessions would step down soon but if he bails Trump looks so bad that even President Orange would see it. Besides Trump picked a new FBI director and he defended against Bridgegate and other scandals. So that guy is not going to get a pass very easily. IMO Sessions will leave in 6 months or less.

If history is any indication Trump will continue to badmouth sessions in the media and Sessions will probably get tired of it eventually and quit. We'll see though, I pegged sessions as a sadist and certainly no masochist... but I could be wrong.


If Sessions goes, Trump is royally screwed. Sessions status as a senator and lawyer gives Trump's administration some semblance of competence and legitimacy... without him it's just Trump and his kids... and I guess Bannon.

You know you're scraping the bottom of the barrel when you're relying on that racist piece of garbage for a semblance of competence and legitimacy.

We'll see what Sessions says tomorrow in the hearing if it is open. I can't imagine it will go well for him.

Yeah, I really don't see how the hearing tomorrow doesn't lead him out the door in relatively short order. If he lies, leaks will come out and he'll be toast. If he doesn't lie, I think he and Trump will look even worse and that'll be his undoing, especially if he makes Trump look worse.

The most interesting question is, will he resign if Trump demands that he fire Mueller? Anyone taking bets on that?

 

[UNCjigga]

Anyone watching the testimony? He seems to be invoking executive privilege...without using the words "executive privilege". Is this for Trump's benefit? Also, he claims he has never seen any intelligence reports about what the Russians allegedly did during the elections (WTF??? Is he intentionally being kept out of the loop by intelligence agencies?)

 

[Puffnstuff]

Look at how Sessions refuses to testify about Trump.

[Pens1566]

Yeah, he's in trouble. Notice that Burr went out of his way to mention the "special" closed session the committee had last night with NSA director Rogers. That was for a reason. Bilbo Bigot is in one giant perjury trap.

 

[UNCjigga]

Apparently the intelligence community did decide to keep Sessions out of the loop...Not sure if this was pre inauguration under Obama or after the recusal.

Sessions has absolutely no legal authority to substitute his judgement for Trumps when it comes to EP. He has committed obstruction in doing so.

 

[Commodus]

I chose "longer than 9 months," but only because this administration fosters bleak cynicism: people are allowed to violate rules and laws without fear of penalty, and people will stay in office despite all better judgment simply because they're more concerned with power than ethics or their own well-being.

If he does leave, it'll be because he did something that angers Trump so much it makes life unbearable (even when compared to the current situation).

I think Sessions is scoring some big points with his boss here. He's even laughing and he's making Sen. Harris pissed and he's not answering questions. He's doing a great job of protecting Trump, which of course is his real job.


Sessions is here to stay. As long as he stands up and acts as Trump's political bodyguard like this, he has a place in the white house.

Certainly a fortune waits for him, unless Trump decides to screw him. Toss a coin.

 

[UNCjigga]

Welp, so many questions he would not answer, and even when he did there was much "I don't know/I don't recall"

Interesting that he wouldn't invoke executive privilege but name, yet still refused to talk about conversations with the President. Remember when Republicans held Eric Holder in contempt when he invoked Executive Privilege? Would the same standard apply here??

 

[cytg111]

I dont know. Sessions is one smart dude, getting a feel for him i get that whatever narrative he is orchastrating it is well beyond the scope of Trump and co.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Come on fellas little Jeffry is just preaching the gospel of Donald Trump as told by Donald Trump.

Sessions said he couldn't invoke EP but acted as if it was his obligation to not testify as if it were, he was being a placeholder. I know of no legal justification which permits that.

Tell me about it. Everything else aside shouldn't the AG have a little bit better recolection? I wish someone would have asked him if he is experiencing early signs of senility.
