And a Reagan appointee went to jail for it over lying to Congress about Iran-Contra.

4. So now Trump can drop him and install someone who promises to fire Mueller.

Just watch.

8. Doesn't matter who is installed...??. Do you know who John Mitchel was?

John Mitchell - Former Attorney General,.. Director of CREEP. Convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury and served 19 months. CREEP,- Committee to Reelect the President. Mitchell was Nixon's campaign manager...ring a bell?

A number of them followed Mr. Mitchell.. it didn't matter, because Nixon resigned..
.......................................Mr. Trump.......................because Trump will resign too..

Maybe Mr. Sessions can outdo Mr. Mitchell and get 20 months...or maybe 25..or 30..or..

5. Mueller may have a trick up his sleeve.

I don't fully understand the connection, but Tea Pain seems to think there's a method to the madness.

6. Have to say . . .

liars seem to do righteous indignation very well. Sessions was quite annoyed, insulted during his last appearance before Congress, felt his 'integrity' was being questioned.

On the next round? Someone might ask him: What integrity????

[Stuart G]

7. His .."integrity"...What integrity...??? You just answered the question..there is none.

Lying to Congress............up to 5 years in jail.....

Sessions....isn't he supposed to know about the law??? Attorney General?

9. Nixon's Attorney General was a lawyer

As were several of his advisers.
John dean was a lawyer..he blabbed only after being caught, and still went to jail.

Lawyer's break laws, too, no magic in being a lawyer.

10. John Mitchel..Atty General........for Nixon.......

Convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury and served 19 months.

I hope the same thing happens to Sessions...
