that Sessions lawyers says Sessions is NOT under investigation for perjury by Mueller.
(His lawyer said that came from the Special counsel's office.)
Takes on that?

(2,064 posts)It seems that Mueller would be thinking strategically regarding who gets indicted when.
Indicting the 13 Russians and 3 companies ended the hoax meme.
I suspect Mueller already has a dead-bang case against Trump for obstruction of justice. He wont bring that case first.
He will wait until he has a bombshell indictment or indictments on the conspiracy with Russia front or money laundering, a bomb too big for the RW echo chamber to explain away.

Jeff Sessions had no choice in the matter of firing McCabe, because of the Inspector General's report.
I would caution everybody into reading too much into this. Russia wants @JeffSessions gone.
If Andy McCabe opened a criminal investigation into Jeff Sessions but Mueller told Sessions lawyer that it had been closed, it was closed ***for a reason*** folks. And the reason wasn't "McCabe got it wrong, Sessions was transparent with Congress"
Everybody stop and think for a moment.
Compartmentalization is real. @Comey compartmentalized like a champ. I don't think McCabe was read in on Sessions. Hence McCabe's opening of a probe, and its being closed again by Bobby III Sticks. SAIC Charlie Kable didn't open a probe

You haven't seen @Comey complain about the firing of Andy McCabe because he knows perfectly well that the IG report tied Sessions' hands.
Anybody looking to drag down Sessions is doing Putin's work for him. Complain to and about Horowitz, if you want to; not Sessions. #McCabe
PS: just to confuse you guys even more, I have zero time for Jeff Sessions, but the man was pictured dining with Rosenstein for a reason, gang.
Steady as she goes, chaps. Hold your fire. We're getting to the end of this terrible period of US history now. Stay frosty.
