Jeff Sessions Is Growing Pissed at Trump, His Allies Say. And He Doesnt Plan to Quit.

[n2doc]

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has no plans to leave office as friends say he's grown angry with President Donald Trump following a series of attacks meant to marginalize his power and, potentially, encourage his resignation.

“Sessions is totally pissed off about it,” said a Sessions ally familiar with his thinking. “It’s beyond insane. It’s cruel and it’s insane and it’s stupid.”

Sessions’ allies say the president’s criticism of the attorney general is counterproductive. Perhaps more than any other member of Trump’s cabinet, Sessions has been an uncompromising advocate for Trump’s agenda. The attorney general has worked methodically to dismantle Obama’s legacy at the Justice Department: reconsidering the department’s efforts to make troubled police departments change their practices, changing the DOJ’s stance on voter I.D. lawsuits, and rolling back former Attorney General Eric Holder’s sentencing guidelines that were aimed at reduced incarceration and balancing out drug-crime-related punishments.

Every pick for a U.S. Attorney’s office that Sessions has made has underscored the administration’s focus on border security. He’s visited the border twice to emphasized a desire prosecute undocumented immigrants. He’s passionately defended Trump’s so-called travel ban and threatened to withhold funding from sanctuary cities.

[ProudLib72]

5. Confused

Well ah musta been nervous. That wuman made me nervous. That's why ah forgot about all those meetins with mah Russian friends.

[Shell_Seas]

2. I hope he gets mad enough to throw Trump under the bus...

And blow this Russia thing wide open.

[hedda_foil]

15. Agree. The elf know too much about the Russian connection to treat him badly.

If he goes ... whether by firing or quitting, he's likely to spill the beans on Trump and the whole administration. On the other hand, he'd do well to have AG-1 thoroughly inspected whenever he flies. Not to mention staying out of small planes as long as the troll is in the palace.

3. Donnie can't blame his kids........have to have a scapegoat.

Sessions is it.

[cheyanne]

4. Trump is waiting for Congress recess so he can appoint an AG w/o Congress consent.

[Blue_Adept]

8. It's a pro-forma recess. No appointments will happen.

[Kaleva]

10. Will the Senate go into recess if they are aware that this might happen?

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. Senators are planning to continue procedural moves to prevent the Senate from formally adjourning

[get the red out]

6. Good!

This has been my assumption, that he is just like Trump, won't quit, and they will end up in a verbal brawl.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. Beauregard, like Paul Ryan, has had a lifelong dream to destroy

the poor and brown people of America.

He is in the process of doing exactly that, as we speak. You will literally have to take him kicking and screaming to get him out of that position.

[Achilleaze]

9. Will the republican Perjurer General continue to let...

the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief PISS all over him and the US judicial system?

[sunonmars]

11. I would laugh if Sessions blew Trump out of the water and issued writs left right and centre

[njhoneybadger]

14. Maybe sessions had trump in mind with his more asset forfeitures plan......LOL

I'm sure sessions has some juicy info on trump

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Trump's never dealt with a good ole boy.

He doesn't get Jeff Sessions and there's nothing he can say and/or do to make Sessions resign.

16. Recommended. People who only have time to read the greatest need to know this

latest news.

[tinrobot]

17. Perhaps the investigations will accelerate as a result.

One can hope.
