" Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III - watch God work...or Hwhite work?"
Attorney General, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, lied and spoke twice with Russian ambassador during Donald's presidential campaign. So, in the aftermath, shall we watch God work, and see him resign, and or prosecuted? Or, shall we watch his child-of-the-confederacy whiteness work, and see those GOP controlled committees allow him to carry on? What are your predictions?

How can they let this one ride? The AG lied during confirmation hearings? C'mon son. If nothing else, he gotta take the hit or the whole thing is even more of a sham than we already thought it was.
12. "he may not have lied." In response to Reply # 2
there's wiggle room - b/c he may have talked to the ambassador in his role as a Senator and not as an agent of the Trump campaign. that may be enough for him to wiggle out of this. maybe.
still...there's enough here to merit an independent investigation since Sessions is the AG and it would be improper for him or his agency to head up any investigation into this Russia shit since he MIGHT be implicated.
so while this situation may not result in Sessions losing his job it SHOULD be enough to fuel the push for an independent investigation where previously there was much hemming and hawing about that.

You KNOW he just did a scarface mound worth of coke and his assistants are holding him down prying his phone out of his hand before he tweets some crazy shit.
The perjury might be the deathblow; Rubio's calling for his head, Cruz is shucking and jiving. Lets see how it plays it, I give him a 40% chance of keeping his job.
Id almost feel bad if he wasn't a racist piece of shit that already put the prison industrial complex back into full gear within a few weeks of his job. Fuck him

And this Republican Congress will apply the least amount of pressure possible. To be honest, I don't think this administration has anything to fear for the next 2 years. 2018 midterms might be our only hope.

in the US Constitution. we have to make it work.
it starts w/an independent investigation of the Trump admin's ties to Russia (including Russian ambassadors in the USA and elsewhere) during the campaign. and it goes where ever it may go.
we gotta make it work by applying pressure on our elected representatives in Congress. CALL 'EM UP. and tell 'em what you waaaaant.

Arguably in the context he was talking about in his role as a surrogate and not as a Senator. You would need cofirmation they discussed Trump in some deal making capacity to make this stick.
don't start celebrating yet.

This is similar to Flynn; as far as Trump was concerned he did nothing wrong and said so after the fact when he said the media drove him out.
A week before they had to cut him loose because he was a distraction with those Russian ties.
Sessions is a well liked senator so they (house/senate repubs) won't want to take him down. But if the press keeps the heat up, the WH might have to cut him loose just to avoid the scandal dominating the news cycle for weeks if not months.
Bannon and Priebus ain't work their behind the scenes to destroy the world to have some senator fuck up their plans!

the Russians to use their ambassador this way. If you're trying to flip a major elected official you use one of your agents who is in deep cover, not the damned ambassador. I'm assuming the ambassador has an About page on the Russian embassy website. That seems super amateurish.
But even that seems bone-headed. Not to refer back to a tv show again, but on the show they let the ambassador be free from all that kind of stuff because ambassadors are always monitored. It's the Russian spies posing as American citizens who engage in that the most. But again, that's just a tv show. I just assume their heirs of the KGB would have a tighter operation that what I'm hearing about this.
30. "Spying ain't all black and white cloak and dagger" In response to Reply # 16
It's conveying information covertly.
I doubt anyone who does spying refer to themselves as "spies".
It's all a matter of perspective. Ever read those articles about US campers/journalist held as spies after wandering off track in places like Iran, North Korea, Pakistan? I would wager 100% that they were actually doing spy shit when they got caught.

Why? Because ALL Republicans are pieces of shit that are driven ONLY by their ideology and pursuit of naked power and do not care about preserving the integrity the institutions of government.
Prediction:If he is forced to resign they'll nominate someone as bad - or even worse as a replacement.

Dems live in glass houses, I'd fall back if I was them. This all comes down to how many repugs feel safe enough in their districts to go against trump. So far, not many.
44. "If he met with the Ambassador in the course of his duties as Senator" In response to Reply # 0
There should be minutes taken, it should be in his schedule, all of that stuff. These assholes can pull up anything about us they want to, I want to see that motherfucker's Google Calendar whenever I want to, we're paying him.
The likelihood of an ambassador meeting in YOUR office with that kind of timing in regards to the election certainly has a nonzero chance of being legit, but highly unlikely.
Maddow broke it down really well (whether or not someone likes her is irrelevant because the info is legit) that a Russian Billionaire has been dumping money to Trump to shelter it from some multi-billion dollar divorce settlement, and Trump owes Deutsche Bank a LOT of money, and now the connections with the Cyprus bank and Wilbur Ross. Throw in Manafort and Carter and the shit is just too overwhelming to be coincidental.

Archibald Cox He was up his ass to the point that Nixon tried to force his AG to fire him (AG refused and resigned). Then he tried to force the Deputy AG to fire him (Deputy AG refused and resigned). Ultimately Nixon just abolished the special prosecutor's office, which turned the public against him and led to his impeachment

yet it was during the Trump campaign, which Sessions was onboard with oddly early. Talked with my stepmother who was a GS16 at the state dept until she retired a couple of years ago, she said meetings like this are not common at all in non-committee settings.
61. "if/when Sessions resigns..." In response to Reply # 0
will 45* claim that Flynn and Sessions acted alone w/o his knowledge or direction? and that once they're gone (and possibly some lower level goons or whomever) the 'swamp' that is the Russian affair has been 'drained' and there's no need for any investigation b/c the bad hombres will have been found and dismissed?
will the GOP agree that the affair is over after Sessions is gone? will they try and sweep it all under the rug?
64. "^^I was wondering this" In response to Reply # 61
they may try to just move on and keep up with business as usual and without any further investigation into the Russia ties. I feel like there's more (obviously there is) and we just have to wait for more to come out.
If not, then they are going to continue full steam with fucking the people of this country over.

71. "the ultimate bad scenario for me seems like they make it appear as" In response to Reply # 61
though Pence had no knowledge of all this wrongdoing, everyone burns but him. He gets to be President, something he was far too extreme (and boring) to ever win on his own. If Trump is out of the way, he can implement hardline conservative policy with the full support of Repubs in Congress. BUT, he probably won't destroy the world before the 2018 mid-terms, when they lose it all. Their fanatical base isn't that big, they just turn out. Turnout isn't going to be a problem for Dems from now on, at least I would hope not.
76. "The ultimate bad scenario for me is WW3." In response to Reply # 71
Do you think that's an unrealistic concern? If not, I can't see how Pence trying to legislate traditionally conservative policies can be worse than that.
75. "Another possible move they can make...." In response to Reply # 61
Set up a 'special prosecuter'. I'm not so sure about the legal distinctions so I'm just parroting what I've read elsewhere and correct me if i'm wrong.....but apparently a special prosecuter can only indict crimes and it's possible that there are extremely relevant elements of Trump/Russian ties that aren't technically illegal. An independent inquiry can have a much broader investigation that won't be limited to crimes.
