Poll: When will AG Sessions resign?

[TeeJay1952]

Omarosa for AG?

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Session said he does not plan on resigning per a recent fake news CNN report

 

[J.Wilkins]

I prefer his name in an Irish dialect.

"Jeff te turd"

Only a real weasel like Jefferson Beauregard Sessions would take the type of abuse that Trump dished out yesterday. Anyone with even a small amount of self respect would say FU Mr. President, I'm out of here.

 

[UNCjigga]

Well, now I know what a cuckservative is.

Yeah Sessions is low T

 

[hal2kilo]

If he had any self respect, he would have resigned yesterday.

 

[TeeJay1952]

Self Respect? Trump Administration? It does not compute!

 

[UNCjigga]

Will he reconsider now that Spicey has jumped ship, or is he having too much fun dialing Justice back to the 1950's??

 

[wirelessenabled]

Or more likely the 1850s.

High on his agenda is recreating the movie Reefer Madness and reestablishing prisons as a growth industry.

What an a$$hole.

 

[hal2kilo]

I changed my vote to more than 9 months. The sick little elf seems tickled pink about the whole thing.
Nope, no self respect at all.

Sessions is certainly the worst Attorney General in many a year but maybe, just maybe, he has a John Ashcroft moment in him for certainly darker days and more direct attacks upon the constitution will be coming from Trump down the road.

I don't play that close attention; he's already worse than Alberto Gonzales of just a decade ago?

I don't remember Alberto being a domestic Nazi. He just gave bad excuses for torture.

 

[NL5]

He won't last the weekend....

 

[Pens1566]

He's done now. I'm guessing WH leaked the current info about SIGINT to allow for cover in firing him. Appoint a tRUmp loyalist who will fire Mueller. Exactly what they're thinking.

 

[wirelessenabled]

Alberto maybe was not a Nazi but was busy giving cover to Cheney who certainly was in that mold. In any case Alberto did not give two shits about the Constitution, only about power.

I think Sessions is not even that smart, he seems to be just a tool for other folks ambitions. IE. The worst kind of tool. I hope the little weasel goes down and soon.

 

[trenchfoot]

Sessions is a playah from way way back. His skin is so thick I'd bet if went to a zoo, the rhino's would follow him around looking to mate with him.

He lost his self respect along time ago and is a direct product of his life's experiences as a sled dog in the GOP. Meaning, he was never a lead dog, so all he's ever seen ahead of him were assholes just like himself.*

Welp, Donnie took to Twitter again this morning to bash Sessions yet again: http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/25/politics/donald-trump-jeff-sessions-hillary-clinton/index.html

Question, is Trump just trying to get rid of Sessions so he can get a new AG/Deputy AG who will agree to fire Mueller (or provide sufficient cover?)

I can't imagine any other scenario in which a sitting President disparages his AG, and yet the AG insists he's not quitting. At this point, I can't tell if Sessions is staying on in order to help Trump (I.e. help save him from his own stupidity), help the American people (ensures that the AG stays out of the Russia investigation) or just save himself/save his career?

 

[K1052]

Paul Ryan just indicated that it's up to Trump if he wants to fire Sessions/Mueller, indicating no consequences from the House if so.

He's willing to sacrifice the rule of law to give rich people tax cuts and take away healthcare. Explicitly now.

Not sure, but if he fires Sessions it will obviously be due to his choice to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. If he fires the head of the FBI for investigating him and then fires the AG for refusing to influence investigations into him we have a mortal threat to the rule of law on our hands. It seems highly likely that whatever replacement Trump would pick would either fire Mueller outright or attempt to meddle in the investigation, meaning that the Justice Department would be actively involved in an attempt to protect the president from an investigation into criminal activity by the president and/or his associates.

I have difficulty thinking of many things a president could do that warrant impeachment more than using his executive branch powers to prevent investigation into his own potentially criminal activity.

How many trumpsters have woken up to the fact that they voted for a brazen mobster? I mean, this guy is simply behaving the way he has behaved his entire life, only publicly now. Trump doesn't seem to understand that he signed on to a life of daily scrutiny, where all of him is out to bare.

I wonder what deal the trumpsters made to convince themselves that voting for an abject criminal was a good idea?

A number of recent polls show they simply do not fucking care. At least an overwhelming majority don't. Can't fix stupid.

 

[UNCjigga]

I wonder if Donnie's recurring nightmare is seeing throngs of plebes chanting "LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!!"

 

[Sunburn74]

Honestly it would be bad for the US to have sessions resign. That would allow Trump to place a stooge that would squash this russia investigation entirely.
