I want to know who the other three were.

I assume Tillerson was one. Everyone else I can think of isn’t a cabinet level official.

Sessions not only put Durham on shutting down leaks in the swamp DOJ, the filed/sealed indictments shot into the stratosphere under his watch.


How many indictments currently sealed in the US federal courts do you figure are related to the storm (ballpark/range is perfectly fine)?

Don't you have some breathless fangirling to do to more of Schiff's #MuhRussia fanfic on Tumblr?

I'm seriously curious (or curiously serious, whichever you prefer) and I'm sure a lot of folks are also curious - you could even estimate the general feeling among the anon community if you've got a sense.

On Sessions recusing. What if he was also spied on and he knew it?

Wouldn’t he have to recuse because he couldn’t be part of the investigation?

While I know it's a fool's errand to bother engaging you, I'll humor you this once. Beyond this, you're welcome to talk shop in the Q thread.

I have no idea, but I'm of the opinion of unsealing them all yesterday and let the chips fall where they may.

this is a tweet, any articles on this?

I'm voting for Coach T either way...
It was in the news outright for a long time now. Sessions was specifically named. This tweet in the OP confirms that inner DC has confirmed it to Trump.

The biggest evidence is Sessions never even tried to deny it.

Sessions shares the same lawyer as John Bolton Does this lawyer have swampy Esquire after his name?

Let me get this right. Trump had the entire population of earth to choose from and he chose a cabinet in which more than 25% of his team were of the belief that he should be removed from office? Wow.

Vox is right. There's a lot that isn't public that would help us understand why.

Cut and Run Sessions stabbed GEOTUS in the back. SHAMEFUL!! Now he pretends and tries to fool the people of Alabama that he supports Trump. I don't blame Trump for not wanting that swamper back in Washington.

I don't believe any of the stories about the 25th amendment were accurate. It would have been absolutely stupid to invoke it. Here, read the amendment for yourself, especially the last part:

LINK

In order to actually successfully remove Trump from office using the 25th amendment 2/3 of both houses of congress would have to agree, which essentially makes it the same as impeachment. There is no way 2/3 of even one, let alone both, would vote to remove Trump just because a group in the white house wanted him gone.

Also, Pence himself would have to be on board from the beginning. The amendment clearly says it requires the VP and a majority (AND, not OR) of the cabinet to start that process.

The only conceivable way some of the cabinet members thought about the 25th amendment was if they didn't actually know what the 25th amendment said.

No accusing that's literally what he did. He had no spine and recused himself when Trump needed him most. Such BS

The reason you still consider him a patriot is you painted yourself into a corner with "trust Sessions".


He is a fraud, a proven fraud.

He is an old swamper that is power hungry. Anyone else after being exposed and disgraced as he was would have just retired. I believe that he is running based on ego and he wants to get back to possibly cause Trump some headaches.

Let’s be more specific, the Swamp was ready to implement the 25th amendment, Sessions is a Swamper in good standing.

Just think about his total failure and weakness as AG. Turning over the justice dept. to Rosenstein thus allowing the creation of Mueller and his lynch mob putting the country through three years of hell. And now this allogation! And after all of that to have the arrogance to come back and ask the people of Alabama to support and vote for him. He is probably so arrogant that he thought all he would have to do to win was announce.
