Trump to lunch with Sessions amid Manafort charges

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday is scheduled to have lunch with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, just hours after Trump's former campaign chairman was indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Sessions was invited to join Trump's weekly lunch with Vice President Pence, which is closed to press coverage.

It's likely Trump will raise the indictment of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, which represents a significant escalation of the special counsel probe that has loomed over his presidency for months.

The president in the past has criticized Sessions for his handling of the Russia investigation, blaming his decision to recuse himself for Mueller's appointment.

Also, Sessions should know by now that he is not a good liar. Just recall his testimony at any of the Senate Confirmation hearings and the follow-up hearing just recently with Senator Al Franken with all the pausing, the stuttering and stammering, whenever he testifies.

if the topic of firing Mueller will come up? Maybe they will just talk about Trump's great rounds of golf last weekend?

To be furious but will not fire Mueller as that would under cut him.

You think staff confiscated his phone this morning?

Asking for Sessions legal advice on how to subvert this investigation? Sessions is such an idiot and ass he'd probably try to help Drumpf, even if it put him in legal peril. Hopefully there's no way Drumpf could pardon them without making it worse on himself.
