THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[Duchess]

Once again today, Trump publicly berated Attorney General Sessions for following the law and recusing himself from the Russian interference investigation.  Trump told a FOX interviewer that he only hired Sessions because Sessions worked on his campaign and was loyal to him.  

This time, Sessions (the first Senator to endorse Trump) hit back with a public statement to the effect that as long as he is Attorney General, the Justice Department will not sacrifice  law in order to represent anyone's political interests.  Ref: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45286906

It's being reported across various media sources that Trump is planning to fire Sessions after the midterms.  I believe those reports are likely accurate because even Lindsey Graham, who fiercely defended Sessions last year and said firing Sessions would be a terrible move, today seemed to be setting the stage and toeing the line.    Ref: https://nypost.com/2018/08/23/graham-tru...-midterms/

Sessions is the Attorney General of the U.S. and represents the people of this country.  He is not a personal lawyer for Donald J. Trump.  Trump is either unable or unwilling to understand/respect the separation of powers doctrine and the role of the U.S. AG.

I watched Lindsey make that statement. He kept his eyes downcast, he wasn't really engaged with the people around him. I suppose that's not so unusual given his disdain for the media, I just thought it odd not to make eye contact with the people talking to him.

As an aside, Rand Paul is a goddamn weirdo, who the hell lobbies for what the Russians want over what is good for America. Jesus.

I just saw a headline stating that the White House is blocking a bipartisan bill designed to protect our elections from the Russians. Why? WhyWhyWhy? Their own DNI says the threat to our election is blinking red.

With everything that is going on in regards to this circus of an administration do you know what the House Judiciary Committee is working on today? Guess! Secretary Clinton's emails, yup, her emails.
