DOJ source says real fear Trump will fire Sessions, fire Rosenstein and then Mueller. In days not weeks. . .and demand loyalty from all




Moving toward firing Sessions and Mueller. Call your member of Congress now to demand impeachment if it happens.



President Trump and his advisers are weighing options for replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions

if I were President. For entirely opposite reasons, of course. But it would somehow feel strange acting all indignant over the firing of a lying, wing nut AG. Now if he fires Rosenstein and/or Mueller, then I fire up the torch and sharpen the pitchfork.

Totally passive aggressive action. Or, rather, nonaction.

He was the first politician to support Trump. When everyone else was laughing at the Trump Team dumpster fire, Sessions was giving his full support. And how is he repaid?

(I don't feel sorry for Jeff Sessions, I'm just looking at things from his point of view)

Hope he fires Sessions and sessions gets pissed off enough to talk to the Mueller team. He could trade any charges for evidence and get back at Trump all in one fell swoop.

I just hope they are prepared for how far Trump will go and brave enough to do everything to stop him.

WTF is the world coming to? Sessions should not only be fired, he should be indicted. Problem is, so should Trump.

Tramp isn't going to do anything. Sessions will pull the criminal plug on the Tramp and it will be all over.

This could happen before this week is over. Christopher Wray could stop the FBI investigation once he is appointed and Trump's new AG could fire Mueller. End of story.

No,

"Call your member of Congress now to demand impeachment when it happens."

I can close my eyes and visualize Republican leadership leaping into action the second Mueller is fired.
