1. Why won't Sessions appoint a second special counsel? What is his angle?

... they'd be running around investigating something that doesn't exist.

When the FBI started tailing Carter Page it was because they had the Steele dossier along with other evidence. They were completely right to follow up on that.

On Nunes’ bullshit. I don’t know why these idiots have chosen Page as the hill to die on.

He knows they are all bullshit claims from Nunes on down. It's Potemkin Village (Rooskie..get it?) to disguise it's all a total waste of time.

Sessions may have just handed Trump the "with cause" for his termination. Patriots need to keep a close watch on Trump's activities over the Easter holiday.

Yikes!
Will Sessions now be fired?
Guess when the only one left is Trump, he will make himself king.

There's a reason why the response is to nod yes to that thought, however.

Are we ever going to have our lives back again?
I remember life being so simple before 2016.

11. There's a suggestion that this pic relates to Sessions telling all to Mueller.

And if Trump fires him, Sessions opens the door to Mueller just to save his own skin.

No one is above the Law...Sessions has talked to Mueller.
