Sessions has fired back. He isn't going to go quietly., nor is he going to quit like Trump wants.
More popcorn please. Reality TV in DC.
Jeff Sessions fires back at Trump, says DOJ will remain independent
This gets back to the Sessions recusal. If Trump wanted an Attorney General who would oversee any investigation into his 2016 election campaign, then he should not have nominated a person for Attorney General who was a high profile member of that very same campaign. An Attorney General (with any integrity at all) is not going to oversee an investigation which involves him/her. That is just common sense. Trump has only himself to blame ... but of course, with Trump, his mistakes are always someone else's fault.
Why should Rosenstein have recused himself? What matter, prior to the Russia probe, reveals either a conflict of interest or a potential bias on his part?I don’t have an issue with an impartial DOJ. I absolutely refuse to accept Rod Rosenstein as impartial in this matter and he also should have recused himself. His hands are all over this BS Russia Collusion made up narrative.
He sponsored a bipartisan bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee to protect Mueller in late April. I'm not sure he's even on that train anymore. Something has happened.I haven’t honestly heard Graham pounding that drum in quite a while and that article is 13 months old.
Several Rs have stated recently they’d oppose the removal of Mueller but I’d say the defense of Sessions is not what it was 13 months ago.

Sessions is replaced with an AG that actually does his job.
New AG does his job and provides oversight of all DOJ business including the Mueller witch hunt. Rod is no longer needed in this role.
No need for Trump to replace Mueller at that point. He would have the oversight he is currently not held to.
That doesn't reveal a bias against the Trump campaign at all. The surveillance of Carter Page began long before the Trump campaign even started. Paul Manafort was also under scrutiny by the Feds before being appointed Trump's campaign manager.His finger prints (and actual signature) are all over the FISA warrants that form a good part of the background story for this whole Russia Collusion BS. But you knew that.
No way Rosenstein can have the perception of or be given the consideration of being impartial on this.

You are dead wrong about that. Page had been under surveillance long before the campaign began. With a high profile role (Manafort was campaign manager during the convention) in a presidential campaign, will come additional scrutiny and consequences if you are breaking laws (such as concealing assets and income from the federal government). Maybe Trump should have been hiring a better class of people? I don't suppose you have ever considered holding Trump accountable for these terrible hires, have you?You probably believed Strzok too when he said he had no professional bias.
And yeah Manafort wasn’t worth prosecuting ten years ago. Suddenly he’s public enemy number 2 (right behind Trump).
And no the Page FISA warrant was first granted in Oct 2016 with two year reach back and two hops from Page. Pure coincidence I guess with Rod’s signature on it.

The more than 400-page document released Saturday, which includes the initial October 2016 FISA warrant on Page and three subsequent renewals, is heavily redacted.
What was that snarky comment about Civics class you made to me? Too funny.Bribery is mentioned in the constitution?
