Yeap, Hugh Hewitt calling for Sessions to resign is big indicator Session was setup by Red Don

[uponit7771]

... and his Russian KKKlan.

There's very little reason to believe a damn thing the Russians say intercepts or not

The set up being the intercepts by the IC are Russians talking CLAIMING there were campaign related conversations last year not any intercepts of Sessions admitting anything.

Sessions is stuck cause he went to congress acting like he didn't know shit ... now he's going to say he knows he didn't talk about campaign issues with the Russians sounds like perjury.

If more of Americas Russia Party (formally know as the GOP) come out against sessions including the leadership then we can all put some good money on it that Ryan and McConnell are being paid big by Russia.


Winter is coming, ... I pray America has 3 big dragons to light some shit up when it does.

P.S. The CeC (Conservative Entertainment Complex) is pushing Meuller is a HRC shill pretty hard ... I mean hard, no other outlets are pushing this crap because they know its a bunch of bull. Meuller is out ... Sessions being fired on is a good tell tale for that also

[FakeNoose]

1. Why do the Russians care whether Sessions goes or stays?

Not sure how much Putin is following this or even cares what happens.
Putin already got the quid pro quo that he wanted, right?

[Demtexan]

2. Hard to tell.

I think he wants total control or he take Trump down.

[uponit7771]

4. They don't, Red Don does though ... Red Don wants Sessions gone so he can get a bootlicker in so he

... can fire Mueller

Winger radio is pushing Meuller being corrupt hard, no other outlets are pushing it like they are because they know its not true

[FakeNoose]

7. He won't find anybody who passes the loyalty sniff test

Anybody with a law degree knows better than to promise "loyalty" to Cheeto.

They're all onto him now. Even Christie and Giuliani are smart enough to stay away.

[uponit7771]

20. +1, I wonder what got Big Moochy to sign on with this Kremlin KKKlan ... lol he's prolly Russian too

[dhol82]

27. I think it's just a disruption of our democratic process that they are going for

They don't give a shit about what actually happens. They just want chaos.

They seem to have been pretty successful so far.

[FakeNoose]

45. We Dems have been asleep at the wheel

We didn't DO any of this, but we sat by and let it happen right in front of us.

That makes us as dumb as the GOP but not quite complicit. Small consolation if you ask me.

[ProudLib72]

3. Winter is here

The southern GOP boys are all stuck because they have no idea how to manage during the winter. They are all sitting pretty in Kings Landing thinking they cannot be touched.

[uponit7771]

9. Right !!! They think they can get 1000 ships from the stupid ass'd Russians and that's going

.... to protect them.

Fuck em, I pray they all get lit up with fire hot enough to melt stone ... proverbially speaking of course.

Sigh, who will be America's Mother of Dragons?

[ProudLib72]

37. They'd better not trust those Iron Islanders

Their king is as illegitimate as our own. The orange king is going to be brought low by the conniving Iron Island king.

I'm not sure Mueller would like being compared to Daenerys. Maybe he and Schneiderman can be two of the dragons?

[uponit7771]

42. "the orange king" ... RIGHT ON !!!

[tblue37]

53. Make Mueller Tyrion in your story. nt

[OnDoutside]

5. Yes and Kornacki jumped all over it.

[lostnfound]

6. Kornacki seems out of touch a lot lately. What do you mean by "jumped all over it?"

[OnDoutside]

25. When they came back from the break he was giddily

Excited by what Hewitt said, and couldn't wait to get a comment from his guests.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. I was suprised Hewitt was so quick to throw Sessions under the bus

[uponit7771]

12. Haven't been able to take Russia State run FAUX news lately but I bet they're pushing getting Sessio

... Sessions out of the way so they can fire Mueller

[BumRushDaShow]

18. I wouldn't be surprised

although Sessions represents a whole confederate flag-waving chunk of the base and that might piss off some of that crowd.

[pnwmom]

23. Trump wants Sessions to resign, so Hewitt is trying to help.

Trump wants Sessions to resign so a new Attorney General would then be overseeing the Mueller probe -- not Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. As much as he has been grumbling about it

that is probably true. However I don't know who else would want to take that "loyalty oath" (although Joy blurted out Chris Christie's name this evening )

[pnwmom]

28. You laugh. I have a different reaction.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. My state is next door to Crispy's

We are the media market for S. Jersey so unfortunately New Jersey and its foibles make up a significant amount of our news here in Philly. Crispy has the lowest approval rate for any NJ governor in history - 15%.

I think Drumpf would be put off by him mainly because he is a bully and eventually they are going to have an alpha male showdown. And although Crispy is licking his chops for a chance, it would eventually become

Drumpf needs someone meek and malleable.

[Cosmocat]

30. Exactly, 45 and sessions are playing chicken

The NYT interview was 45 trying to get him to resign so he can play innocent, "I love him, he's been with me all along, I wouldn't have fired him ..."

Sessions is thinking it will look better for him to get fired, play the victim and try to say he wasn't in league with 45, he was standing up to him.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. A new AG would have to be confirmed, though.

Im not saying the senate wouldnt do it, but until then it is Rosenstein.

[pnwmom]

40. Yes, it would take time. But it would happen, eventually. n/t

[Kathy M]

38. Resenstein will probably move up into Sessions job .......

Mueller he is not getting fired

If I am wrong I will admit .....

just the way I am reading what is going on

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Hewitt demanded that Sessions shut down all the legal pot in the USA 2 months ago

And sessions hasnt done it yet.

Maybe he thinks he'll get more pot smoker bustin' action from Chris Christie.

[BumRushDaShow]

41. NJ has a medical marijuana law

signed off by Crispy, so it would be a bit difficult for any state to take him serious if he did become AG and go that route.

[Warren DeMontague]

46. Christie HATES weed.

He signed that MMJ law grudgingly. You know he hated it.

[BumRushDaShow]

47. He didn't have to sign it.

He sat on a closed beach because he wouldn't sign the state's budget bill.

Hell... NJ's medical marijuana bill is more comprehensive than the one here in PA (which doesn't include smokeable weed if I'm not mistaken - supposed to be oral such as in use in pills, etc). But the GOP's problem is - a good sized chunk of their "base" are Libertarians who want no regulation at all, and MJ is something that they lump into the pile of things that should be regulation-free. So he would appear as a hypocrite if he decided to suddenly get holier-than-thou.

[Warren DeMontague]

48. He's been consistently an ass on the topic. Good news is, the next NJ Gov. will most likely

support full legalization. At least, the Democratic Party candidates do.

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/05/christie_legalizing_marijuana_in_nj_is_beyond_stup.html

One interesting thing about that whole "libertarian wing" thing- when you get out to my side of the country, our state Democrats consistently skew in favor of things like cannabis legalization, 1st/4th Amendment rights, being opposed to censorship and in favor of strong encryption/net neutrality, etc..

and guess what? The Libertarian Party here is a joke, because fully half of their appeal - the social issue side - has been embraced and adopted by progressives, and rightly so.

And legalization works- it may still be the realm of theory on the Eastern Seaboard, still, but out west it is up and running just fine.

Now, like I said, the leading candidates for Gov. in NJ have caught a clue on the matter- I suspect, in part, as a reaction to Christie being such an ass about it- but unfortunately there is still a tendency toward establishment foot-dragging. Contrast the desperate attempts on the part of the state government in Mass. to delay, delay, delay and "protect" the voters from full recreational cannabis coming online as they voted for, with NV (and, before that, OR) implementing recreational sales even EARLIER than the voters had asked for.

There's a real cultural and geographic distinction, in my mind, but the East will catch up.

[BumRushDaShow]

49. Well take note that Crispy is not really a bible-thumping teabagger

He is the "east coast moderate" Republican. His problem is that he has been and always will be a rude and obnoxious bully, who is quick with the temper and retorts. And that's usually the sign of a coward who has learned to attack first before being attacked. His thing (of late) has been the opioid addiction issue and if anything, he would probably prioritize that over chasing MJ.

Contrast that with my (PA's) previous GOP governor Corbett, who refused to advance medical marijuana until he began to moderate his position just before the election (in 2014). When Wolf (our current Democratic governor) was elected, Wolf worked with the majority-GOP legislature to at least get something on the books, even if watered down.

[Warren DeMontague]

50. No, he's a thug & a bully, for sure. But had no problem going all anti-choice for the GOP primaries

he would have been perfectly happy to accomodate the Mike Pence Theocrat crowd, if he had managed to poll over 3%, of course.

....that was the same time when he pulled his shit about "if you're getting high in Colorado today, enjoy it now, because on Jan 21 2017, as President I will come and arrest all of you"...

Like I said, though, the East Coast will catch up. Legalization has been extremely successful on our side of the country.

[emulatorloo]

10. So you believe Sessions DID NOT discuss sanctions w Kislyak?

And that Kislyak was lying to his superiors, which would probably get him killed/disappeared.

I really don't find that too plausible.

That doesn't mean WH isn't behind the leaks. If they were I think it is a stupid move. Makes Trump look more guilty imho.

[pnwmom]

24. The WH is behind the leaks. The WA Post said sources include White House officials.

Since they couldn't get Sessions to resign after the NYTimes interview, now they're trying this. They want Sessions to resign so they can appoint a new AG to oversee the Mueller probe -- someone who won't be recused, like Sessions.

[emulatorloo]

39. Yes saw Joy Reid in for Chris Hayes. Good coverage.

Personally hope Sessions does not resign. Make Trump fire him for doing the right thing and recusing himself.

[Cosmocat]

34. Pnw is correct

45 is trying to force sessions to resign so he can play innocent, "I love him, he has been with me all along, id never fire him!" to not get another obvious obstruction charge.

Sessions knows he is in a bad spot, and wants to be fired to say he wasn't in league with 45, he was a victim and was standing up to him.

Keep in mind, sessions is a simple ass fool.

[roamer65]

11. This does have a Russian smell to it.

They want an unrecused Trumputin lackey in the position of AG.

At the bare minimum it causes more chaos.

[WhiteTara]

13. Sessions is the the little Dutch boy with his

thumb in the dike as far as Mueller is concerned. But that's just my take on this. I mean. I wouldn't stay in that place after I was talked about in that way, but actually it is giving Mueller more time. Hurry Bobby Three Sticks Hurry

[Thrill]

14. If he does. a President currently under FBI investigation

shouldn't be allowed to nominate someone. Dems better do everything they can to stop it

[uponit7771]

16. All dems can do is shut shit down for long time come debt ceiling ... its gonna hurt a lot of people

... but fuck it, at some point shit got to get real and so does the DNC.

[Duppers]

31. And they can stop it with this Congress

how?

[Tatiana]

15. Sessions should stay and force Don the Con to fire him.

If he has any sense of loyalty to this country, he will not resign. He will, like Comey and Sally Yates, and Preet Bharara offer Congress incontrovertible proof that this traitor should be impeached.

[Thrill]

17. He's wanted this job too long. He isn't going to resign

[Tatiana]

22. That's what I'm counting on.

But Trump and Russia are really turning up the heat. He's weak. He might be tempted to crack.

[uponit7771]

19. Right !!, if Sessions had an OUNCE of patriotism in him he would force Red Don to fire him to put ..

... more light on the Kremlin KKKlan at the least.

Red Don can make up the "well the IC said" crap all he wants but it'd be like he's cherry picking data just to fire sessions since he's dogged America's IC up and down so far.

The big reaction will be coming from the America Russia Part (formally known as the GOP) ... Ryan and McConnell stays quite then we're in some deep shit.

It wont be them just wanting political power, it'd be them getting paid some big bucks to screw all of us.

[Freethinker65]

21. Trump only hires the BEST people. I agree, make him fire you Jeffy

[Duppers]

35. "Russians talking, CLAIMING ..."

Claiming is the operative word. Excellent observations/ post.

[ecstatic]

36. Doesn't this also show that trump is convinced he can pardon himself?

Trump's throwing Sessions under the bus by leaking info that is harmful to himself...right?! It feeds into the larger trump campaign conspiracy to commit collusion.

[uponit7771]

43. yeap

[Demsrule86]

44. He was set up...obviously if Trump gave two fucks about Russian, Jared would be gone.

[Phoenix61]

51. Sessions will never resign

It doesn't seem to bother him a bit to be hated or to have to lie. Pissing off Twitler won't bother him a bit either. He's as self-serving as any of the rest of them.

[underpants]

52. Wolverines!!!

Red Don
