Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III
- Thread starter Boca

Bugsy McGurk
President
Nope. He has been VERY busy implementing the racist, extreme right wing agenda, and plowing through extreme right wing judges. He’s doing just what he was hired to do.
With one exception - he declined to oversee the investigation of Trump (and himself) as to the election shenanigans. He knew Trump would pressure him to obstruct justice, so he recused himself.
And that’s what pisses Trump off. He has said so. He wanted Sessions to oversee the investigation. Trump’s reason is obvious - he wanted Sessions to obstruct it. Trump is so corrupt he doesn’t seem to know when he announces his corruption.

Most certainly they do, even so you don't have to go out and make a fool of yourself when presiding over the most politicized and weaponized Department of Justice ever. The one he inherited from the dark days of Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch.

I'd say that depends on what he has been threatened with.
Either way, he is 100% incompetent and needs to go.

Trump has likely never even read the US Constitution; his mafia mentality can't grasp the simple fact that "public servants" in the DoJ swear their loyalty to the Constitution, not to whatever con man happens to be living in the White House.

"Trump has made no secret of his anger ever since Sessions stepped aside last March from supervising the Russia investigation that has cast a dark cloud over the White House, a decision that Trump apparently viewed as a betrayal of Sessions' loyalty to him.
"Despite Sessions' hard-right bona fides — he was considered one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Senate during his four terms in office — other conservatives have begun to pile on.
"Even his one-time Senate colleague from Alabama, fellow Republican Richard Shelby, hinted that it might be time for Sessions to walk.
"'I wouldn't stay at all unless the president wanted me to stay, if he appointed me,' Shelby said Thursday on Fox News. 'I wouldn't be anybody's whipping boy.'"
The good news is that Trump is dividing the GOP in ways it may never recover from.

Do you think Trump is capable of understanding how the oath of office Sessions swore to required him to recuse himself from Trump's Russian investigation?
John T
Governor
As have been most of Trump's appointees...it is a hallmark of republican administrations...

"Wait, it's all Marxism?" "Always has been."
I think he's just incompetent, and trying to maintain some semblance of credibility with the establishment for when Trump finally pushes him out.
John T
Governor
I disagree .....
I think he has been compromise.
He doesn't want Mueller and team kicking his door down a 4 am with guns blazing, bankrupting him, making him sell his house and going after his children.
Kind of easy to stay quite when facing that, wouldn't you think?

What about this stuff?
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/3331
"An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: 'I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.'"
How likely is it Trump has even bothered to read the Constitution?

Lord help you Son...the oath he took didn't require any such thing and you just posted that oath!
Sessions recused himself....put down whatever you're smoking.
