The report was initiated by a Republican (Who?) and then taken over by the DNC and the Hillary campaign, and where did the information in the report apparently emanate from? The Russians? (Is that collusion?)

I am certain that this is all just a mix up and no one did anything wrong or illegal. (Except maybe for the FBI, Mueller, Comey, Obama, Lynch, the DNC, D. Wasserman Shultz, the Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign, who else? Very complex and deep.)

Politics, the dirtiest, filthiest and most corrupt activity that human beings engage in.

The guy is the President, after all. (He does realize this, doesn’t he?) If anyone is in position to demand answers from the A.G., it’s him.

Trump doesn’t need people loyal to him. He needs people loyal to America. Then Trump would be fine.

You can’t play the game pretending the criminals are following the rules. You have to send the criminals to prison, not give them pensions and platforms.

Even people that absolutely hate Trump concede he’s done no crime. So why is government protecting those that are treasonous criminals.

Comey and Lynch revealed who they are. DOJ and FBI need their swamp drained first. Sessions is now part of that swamp that maintains the status even if not actually guilty himself.

Freedom is not free.

Cotour–
For Sessions, it was Trump’s position on immigration. (surprised you don’t recall!)

I still want to know why Rince Preibus is Chief of Staff.
He IS the Swamp!
He, Ryan and Mitch, run the show. Trump has very few Conservatives around him, why attack Session’s? He’s never been a Libertarian Republican, his stanch on drugs is well known. I don’t like it myself but I see no reason for him to be fired.
How about they clean house of all the entrenched Obama holdovers and stop appointing the same-usual-suspect Hillary/Obama lovers in the first place, before attacking a Jeff Session’s?

Phony Manufactured Distraction.

C–RUSH, just discussed the CNN generated Fake News on the Rudy-replacing-Session’s rumor, his take is that it’s a created-narrative.
…We’ve had this discussion before, but I do fear HRC is free-and-clear. Nobody is going to go after her. She’ll never be president, and she does have a neurological disorder, but she will never be held account for her innumerable crimes.
And that Schniederman guy in NY (your State AG) certainly is not investigating the Clinton Crime Foundation.

Trump wants to hire people who back him up, unlike the Republican party leadership, who I suspect would be happy for trump to just go away.

Its the Hillary thing that Trump is conflicted with. The powers that be are focusing on him and some Russian narrative, and Hillary, who is plainly as guilty as anyone could be on sooo many levels and subjects appears to be getting a total pass.

I predict that this total pass condition will be modified in the near future.

Mary-Jane remains totally illegal under Federal law, no matter what State you live in, how many registration cards you have, or which “dispensary” you bought it at. The DEA and the Controlled Substances Act, remain in full-force throughout the land.
That’s truly an authentic “federal case,” in the making, if there ever was one.
(I would however, love to see, say.. Oregon, argue States Rights and Federalism against the DEA, but they are perfectly capable of being two-faced liars and could do it with a straight face.)

tangentially–I do find the “medical weed” route to be entirely disingenuous and fake– pure THC has been available “medicinally” for a long time, it’s called Marinol®. A Schedule III drug, just like oxycodone and mixed-amphetamine salt. (Lortab & Adderall)
http://www.marinol.com/
People just to like to smoke weed.
–It took an Amendment to outlaw alcohol, and another one to make it legal again. Now, under the Controlled Substance Act and a 100 years of Statism, the Feds can outlaw any molecule they want, no matter what any of us think about it.

Personally, I do want mary jane completely legalized, and I certainly wouldn’t pay any taxes on it, ever. (I don’t partake myself, messes up my Parkinson’s-meds, big time.) I don’t register with the State and pay a per-gram tax on my tomato’s, only a fool would pay a State-government weed-tax.

We can’t even get the Feds to shut up about Russia, repeal Obamacare, stop spending us into oblivion, or lower taxes— does anyone really think they have, or could (ever), rationally handle “the drug problem and what should we do about it?”

(I love these crony leftist capitalist-pigs (he said sarcastically…) who sell weed “legally,” it’s Socialism for all the rest of us, but you never see THEM selling their genetically modified, super-duper, high-potency, smoke, for it’s marginal cost of production. Which btw, they use carbon dioxide tanks to enhance the growth rate and rely on coal-powered high-intensity indoor grow lights to illuminate.)
-Just wait until the Feds introduce the “Weed-Subsidization Program,” it’s unfair, isn’t it?, that poor people can’t afford $15 a gram for weed?

Getting back to the thread– Session’s did totally mess up by recusing himself, but I don’t see him as the primary problem.
Lest we forget– Rince Priebus, Chief-Weasel & Perpetual Crony Progressive RINO, is Trump’s chief-of-staff, head gatekeeper, and a back-stabber.

Stay tuned on this one, thats who who it appears to be being now vetted by some accounts.

What must happen, as I have stated before, the two sets of laws created by Comey for Hillary at the behest of Lynch must, among many other Hillary issues must be reconciled with full blown, testicles to the wall investigations. This must take place for all of our sakes.

28 CFR 600.1 – Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
§ 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.

The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and –

No. The Attorney General may be appointed by the President and serve at the President’s pleasure, but he does not represent the President. Even the White House Counsel, whose job is to advise the President on legal issues related to official administration actions, does not represent the President (and does not enjoy attorney-client privilage) on private matters.

Were we an autocracy, then the Attorney General may be responsible for the President’s personal legal defense, just as the Treasury Secretary would be responsible for the President’s personal enrichment, but we are not there yet.

Your Hillary analogy is a non starter, you would have heard nothing about anything if Hillary had become the president. NOTHING. Just like the medias ignoring the Obama rise to power and his plainly Marxist / radical training and back round.

You would have heard crickets. You get a demerit for being uninformed or being able to be manipulated.

The Democrats have successfully strategically started this Russian narrative to stop out the Republican / Trump momentum, and the Democrats deep state actors are proceeding with that successful strategy. This is how political war is executed. And have no doubt, this is political war.

The reason that Trump is sooo useful is because he is sooo disruptive to the perverted and blatantly corrupt inside the beltway, Washington culture. This push back will continue every day that Trump is in office, EVERY DAY.

Laws are being broken and have been for decades, not by Trump. The deep state is a violation of every American principle. Replacing Sessions with somebody that can get rid of Mueller will solve half of Trump’s problems.

They need to build a prison just to hold the democrat/media enablers. Rule of law depends on the DOJ.

If Hilary Clinton had won the electoral college instead of just the popular vote, and the story was about here would you dismiss this as a nothing story and a witch hunt?

Patrick: Freedom reigns on the internet – at least for now. That freedom includes a “schoolmarm” attitude (your description) to an individuals site, or not.
You are free to leave and find others, or change,or create your own site… the freedom is yours.
You do not have the freedom to directly dictate Mr Zimmermans site rules. You can try to convince others and possibly sway Mr Z.
Freedom … it’s messy, it’s not always easy, you may not like the result of others freedom but its freedom…. I won’t put up with anything else.

Unfortunately Trump is not the ideal person to face the challenge – I just hope he stays strong and listens to good advice. I’d also like to see conservatives realize what is at stake – Trump may be a last chance to reign in the establishment (who employ people such as Muller and Clapper to grow a surveillance police state to stop such future insurrections)

It’s tricky to deal with because President Trump has his own recourse available: he can fire the special investigator, but he has really been hamstrung by Sessions, who was supposed to be his agent at DOJ but immediately fled his post.

It should be Sessions who is firing Rosenstein and Mueller and Sessions who is deciding whether Rosenstein and Mueller should be prosecuted for pursuing an illegal warrant, but now it is Trump who might have to take those steps himself, and he might even have to fire Sessions, if Sessions can’t start doing his job, all of which creates a gigantic political mess, which is all the Democrats have going for them now: that with their control of the media they can make a political stink over nothing.

Sessions was so irresponsible. Every lawyer has one primary legal duty: to represent the person they are supposed to represent. Do not leave his position unrepresented. Sessions abandoned that primary duty in favor of tertiary concerns about possible appearances of non-existent conflicts of interest. Come on.

That video needs to go viral.

Funny that President Trump said yesterday that Mueller applied for the job of FBI Director, after Comey was discharged. Of course Mueller and Comey were best friends for years, so it is likely that Mueller was aware of Comey’s role in the cabal of Intel chiefs (with Brennan and Clapper) that concocted the ‘Russia collusion’ fable, and probably agreed with it. So now instead of one fox invading the chicken coop, we’ve got his brother. And this one will be harder to fire; apparently Mr Trump can’t do it directly, but needs someone in the Justice Department to do so.

Well, Jeff Sessions is now on notice (via the NYT interview) that he’d better shape up and put the kibosh on the witch hunt. He’s got to rescind his recusal, fire Rosenstein, and then fire Mueller. Nothing less will do.

If you want to run a site, run your own. Your three readers will no doubt enjoy your non-schoolmarm hipness.

Patrick: You don’t like my demand that people treat each other with respect? Then why are you here?

In fact, I’m not sure you should be here. If all you can do is call people names, than maybe you should get your facts from someone else’s website. I think I will suspend your commenting rights for a week.
