a scary thought about Sessions (talk me down)

[DonCoquixote]

OK, let's say the blame for the child prison debacle rightfully points at Jeff Sessions. Could trump then uses this as his excuse to fire him, put Rudy in the job, and then use that to fire Mueller? Sounds silly, but it is no less silly than the reason he gave for firing Comey.

1. Since Giuliani has already represented Trump with regard to

Mueller's investigation, he has a glaring conflict of interest. By all ethical principles, he would have to recuse himself from any action regarding that investigation. Clearly.

3. LOL...You said

"ethical principles" and Giuliani in the same post!

Seriously, the man has zero ethics whatsoever.

5. I hate to agree

But Trumpp has a mental mauling machine that will make his followers swallow this.

4. And then Trump would complain endlessly about Rudy having to recuse himself

6. I do not think Rudy would

Do not forget, Rudy has wanted Trump's job for years, and while many in the GOP Luv Pence, they know Rudy could be a good sell, especially as he was famous for letting police beat up blacks and browns. You do not get to put away John Gotti without having a ruthless, almost cannibalistic hunger for power.

9. I doubt he would

but you never know with Trump and his cabal

7. You and I know as well as most here on this board

know Sessions has a Ugly Past. The Turd is a walking hate filled Klucker.

2. It's so sick and twisted they just might do it.

but of course they'd go any extra step too far.

8. That is a set of scary thoughts

The only thing I think unlikely is that the Senate would confirm Giuliani - especially to replace one of their own. That does not mean they might not find someone confirmable who would do the same thing.
