Trump Goes After Jeff Sessions Again: 'Scared Stiff and Missing in Action'

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump once again went after his own attorney general, Jeff Sessions, in a tweetstorm about what the media should really be focused on.

The President honed in on reports this week about communications between dossier author Christopher Steele and DOJ official Bruce Ohr.

Trump declared, “I have never seen anything so Rigged in my life.”

But then he went after Sessions for not doing more to look into this, saying, “Our A.G. is scared stiff and Missing in Action.”

Great cartoon! There's not much dialogue, which is good, but it's funnier than hell! I know that dog, too! My neighbor's dog is almost a carbon copy. Absolutely fabulous cartoon, Equinox Moon. Where did you ever find it?

"The Triplets of Belleville" is a masterpiece. It is a full length animation. It won a ton of awards. It is from 2003. I believe it was made by Japanese, in Germany - about the French! I highly recommend the whole movie. I am a proud owner of the DVD.

It is almost completely without dialog, which is amazing. If you find a way to watch the whole movie, take note that grandma tirelessly does all the training with her grandson and on a tricycle no less!

Here is a clip of how they harvest the frogs!

Especially when there is no follow-up to investigate and charge. Seems there's no gravity being emphasized about the detrimental effects of the continual dysfunctional behavior. Ratings and eyeballs are what rule the day.

Sessions is scared stiff. Uh huh...

Omarosa is a low life.. No, you are!!!

And those are just the two latest today. He's telling us all about his inner demons every day. Can't keep his trap shut.

He did that in another tweet about the FBI agent today too. It really shows how he has to constantly objectify women.

it's up to you - and you're the only one who can do it - to tell the media which stories they should be covering, and which stories they shouldn't be covering. It's not like you have a dig in this hunt or anything. There's absolutely no conflict of interest on your part, correct?

so instead of firing everyone, he's trying to dicredit all of them so when all the dirt on him comes out people wont believe it. if he straight fires them he would look guilty and enough republicans might peel off support that he could get impeached.

The attack on the attorney general came as Trump claimed the news media "refuses to report" on meetings held between Christopher Steele, the ex-British intelligence officer who authored an opposition research dossier on Trump, and former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr.

Ohr was demoted from his position in the deputy attorney general's office after the discovery of certain meetings he held with Steele and the head of the opposition research firm that hired him to compile the dossier, Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, CNN reported last year, citing a source familiar with the matter. Ohr's wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS doing research and analysis on Trump, Simpson has disclosed.

"The big story that the Fake News Media refuses to report is lowlife Christopher Steele's many meetings with Deputy A.G. Bruce Ohr and his beautiful wife, Nelly. It was Fusion GPS that hired Steele to write the phony & discredited Dossier, paid for by Crooked Hillary & the DNC....," Trump wrote on Saturday.

The President followed up with a second tweet, saying, "....Do you believe Nelly worked for Fusion and her husband STILL WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF "JUSTICE." I have never seen anything so Rigged in my life. Our A.G. is scared stiff and Missing in Action. It is all starting to be revealed - not pretty. IG Report soon? Witch Hunt!"
