Senate Dem: We’re trying to block a recess appointment to replace Sessions

Sure Russorist sure. Being a conspiracy peddler seems to be one of yours.

 

Obama didn't deal with this level of hate from the right.

Probably not.

The ol of you've got nothing to hide line hey. It's been a year and still no evidence of collusion. How long are we supposed to tolerate a witch hunt to placate the loser Dems?

 

You ever figure it out the mind of the DNC you'll be doing the world of Psychiatry a great service, right now it is just considered hypocrisy but many feel it's goes much deeper than that!

 

You must realize that the firing of Jeff Sessions would allow Trump to appoint someone who has NOT recused himself from the Russian investigation, right?

 

I can help you understand it.

Democrats opposed Jeff Sessions because Jeff Sessions lied under oath, has a history of civil rights issues, has promised to crack down on state marijuana sales, and to roll back reformations of police departments. Democrats supported Jeff Session's decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation because that was an ethical decision.

If Trump fires Sessions, then he could appoint someone during the recess who has all of the negatives of Sessions AND could claim that he has no reason to recuse himself from the Russian investigation and thereby could significantly hamper or directly stop the Russian investigation.

 

I'll have to look around the board as I have not been on much in the last week. I'm sure it's filled with outrage posts from the Trump devotees who are disgusted with the way Trump has been treating Sessions.

 

This is all so stupid. He serves at the leisure of the President.

Let's hope congress can do their actual job and legislate, which they have failed at for years and year and years.

I like Sessions and hope he stays, but this sort of B.S. is stupid.

 

It absolutly impacts the investigation because the "new appointee" has the power to fire Mueller. Trump has eluded to that already

 

The guy who recused himself who did not have to and the guy that is focused on weed and civil forfeture ( damn i can never spell that) instead of immigration? That Sessions?

If you hire someone with some expectations of job performance and the person you hire is not doing their job you would be fine with that?

 

Look, If Trump does fires Session, and appoints a new AG in a recess appointment, and that new AG fires Mueller, Please explain how that is acceptable to anyone.

I know thats a lot of things that have to happen, but that WOULD be a constitutional crises. Anyone who thinks otherwise has very thick partisan blinders on

 

Rod Rosenstein could have done that from day one..... So no Durbin does not have a point.

 

As soon as Meuller returns with "there is no there there", I will absolutely accept that. Until that full investigation happens (including following the money), then i fully support an investigation.

Obama absolutely had this level of hate. And the right spent the last 8 year investigating at the highest level anything Clinton. Now ask yourself, if Clinton was doing the exact same things Trump is doing right now in this investigation, would you actually say "there is no evidence" ?

And to claim there is no "evidence"...cmon....we will call off the investigation when those in the Trump campaign stop amending their disclosure statements to add new meetings wth Russian go-betweens. And keep in mind, they only amend them after the "Fake News" reports call them out......

 

Having the power to is not the point. Sessions, and Rosenstien have backbones and have done whats rght. Trump didn't know they would when he appointed them. Trump now wants someone in there who will.

Thats Trumps problem, he hired people who understand the responsibility of their positions, and at least some level of ethic. Now he is in crisis mode and needs that changed.

 

Sure you will.

Obama had opposition sure but I don't recall the head of the FBI leaking government documents in an attempt to damage Obama. Do you?

Where's your evidence of collusion?

 

Recusing yourself when you are new in the office specially when you dont have to is not a backbone

Hiring a SC and then giving him broad powers all over a leaked memo is not a back bone.

How is either "right"? Because you want Trump out no matter what perhaps?

 

How many times do Trump campaign officials have to amend their disclosure statements before we admit their is smoke ?

 

Its ethical to recuse. If this was Clinton the right would be loosing their minds right now.

This was more than a leaked memo and you know it. BUT, while the right is up in arms about the leak, they refuse to admit what the leak showed

I don't like Trump, but I am not like those on the right who investigated everything Clinton for the last 8 years because of their hatred. I wnat whats best for the country. And Like it or not, Trump cannot be any kind of a president until this gets cleared up. So for the country to move forward, we need this resolved.

 

His "job" is not to oversee a single investigation. If he is a witness in an investigation, as is the case with the Russia investigation, he has to recuse himself. Sessions did the right thing.

 

It is quite brilliant. Leftists squawking how dumb Trump and his supporters are, all the while being completely outmaneuvered into putting on record their support of the guy who is going to - now, principally unopposed - shine the light of truth on their corruption.

Checkers ain't chess, progs.

 

But where's your fire? I see smoke rising from the mountains most mornings but fire is almost never the reason.

 

I don't like Sessions politics, but if the entire reason Trump wants to dump him is to get someone who will squash the Meuller investigation, then I can see why they would block it.

Agree with his ideas or not, Sessions at least seems principled, which is at odds with Trump's idea of a WH admin.

 

A history of decades of money laundering with the Russkie mafia and Oligarchs make it a no brainer.

 

We'll see. It does seem like playing both ends against the middle. Although I understand what you're saying. Fight like Hades to stop his confirmation, then fight like Hades to keep him. Same with Comey. Comey the hero of all Democrats when he said no charges against Hillary, then the scourge of the earth, the devil reincarnated when he reopened the investigation.

I do understand situations and circumstances change. But isn't more of rule in my favor, you're a great guy. Rule against me and you become the scum of the earth and needs to go? Oh well, it is said politics make strange bedfellows. You sure do have one here with Sessions. Wait until the recess is over and the Democrats will be trying to get rid of Sessions again.

 

Congress's decline has been amazing, but this particular year has been incredibly infuriating. It is the EASIEST job in the world, yet they refuse to do it. Firefighters risk their lives in blazes, police often have to deal with criminal thugs on the streets. These losers have to come to an agreement, and send that agreement to the POTUS for him to either agree or veto it in which case it's sent back down.

They have no right to complain and no right to slack off. They shouldn't have recess until a major legislative deed for the people is done.

 

I agree it doesn't take a brain to see the world through leftist eyes.
