My guess... Trump and the White House leaked the Sessions meetings

[lapfog_1]

if an effort to set the stage to fire Sessions... appoint someone who will fire/defund Mueller.

1. Very likely. That's what I just said to my husband.

4. The little guy knows a lot of secrets.

Not a good idea to piss him off.

Trump is really stupid.

2. Or cooperated with their Russian buddies to release it. Wasn't this direct from Kislyak?

Collusion anyone?

[emulatorloo]

5. No, WAPO source is US intel intercepts of conversations in Russia

[NightWatcher]

6. oh ok

[emulatorloo]

8. Still possible White House was behind the leak I guess. They quote a "U.S. Official"

12. That's something that should be double checked !!! It's too much of a coincidence. US Intel must

know that a leak like that could be terminal for Sessions. What's the benefit of that, UNLESS the leaker is a US Intel Trumper ?

[Sanity Claws]

3. Maybe

That's a dangerous game to play.
What if Jeffy now spills the beans on Donald? Jeff is a big fish but Donald, Eric, Ivanka, Jr. are bigger fish.

7. That would be really, really stupid of him

Basically telling the world that his campaign man colluded on his behalf.

You know the saying "Cutting off your nose to spite your face"? Yeah, it's about like that.

[Demtexan]

10. Yep.

Exactly.

[malaise]

9. Agreed because he's dumb enough to think

it doesn't sink him as well.

11. LOSER 45 knew this was coming out & started disparaging Sesspool

to distance himself. You know LOSER knew about it all the time & encouraged it.

LOSER gets others to do the dirty work, so he can distance himself.

Who is going to rat him out?

[NanceGreggs]

13. That was my first thought, too.

In fact, it seems pretty obvious.

As sleazy as Trump is, he's too stupid to realize that people like Sessions are old pros at the sleaze game and will play accordingly.

Sessions still has a political career to protect - Trump doesn't. You can be damned sure that Sessions and his long-term GOP allies are looking right now for ways to discredit Trump while protecting themselves.

14. I wanna know who leaked the 'pardons' story.

You wouldn't think too many people were involved in that conversation. Somebody very close to him is leaking?

[Thrill]

15. Spicey

[lapfog_1]

16. Sessions?

Wouldn't the Donald have consulted the AG and the Dept of Justice about pardon powers? Or just White House counsel.

[Turbineguy]

17. Act guilty

seems to be Trump's way of dealing with it.
