Scoop: Besieged Sessions dines with Rosenstein in show of solidarity

If Donald Trump finally follows through on his rage and fires Jeff Sessions, the image with this story will be printed in history books.

Tonight at 7:35pm, the Attorney General strode into a high-end Washington restaurant to dine with his deputy Rod Rosenstein and the Solicitor General Noel Francisco.

The symbolism was unmistakable: the three top ranking officials in the Justice Department appearing together in a show of solidarity on the same day Trump is publicly and privately raging about Sessions.

When Trump sees this photo he'll have to absorb a concept that some of his aides have been trying to impress upon him for nearly a year, since he first began telling them he wanted to get rid of Sessions.

I'm having a hard time picturing that Sessions "strode" anywhere. He seems more like a scuttler to me!

10. Thanks, fixed it (I hope) n/t

3. He's becoming almost (ALMOST, don't get me wrong!) likable. Anyone who embarrasses the orange one..

...has the capability of being likable in some ways.

"S'mores" anyone?

6. The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Jeff Sessions is still a piece of shit. But he's a piece of shit that is really pissing off Trump because he won't just blindly do Trump's bidding. I'd rather have him in there than some yes man that Trump wants to appoint.

7. There you go, that's what I'm talking about. Anyone who gets under the twittler's skin....

....gets a cyber beer from me!

9. It's Shakespearean.

Who knows how this will turn out.
The elfish A.G. could be the unlikely hero of our tale.
Stay tuned.

11. Maybe its gone beyond where he is willing to stretch his neck

4. Still do not trust any of them

5. What could he possibly have left to rage tweet about.

He's buried his flabby ass so deep in stupid tweets already. And they're all on record.

Now the pic of these 3 at a dinnner table will send dotard over the edge.

Be forewarned.
Thanks for this lovely post Julian Englis it is quite the turn of events.

8. He is just angry because trump treats him the way he thinks black boys should be treated

Not good christian white men like him.

12. This is so good to see now

Love your last comment. Sessions knows enough if he does fire him watch for all hell to break loose.

13. Trump thinks HE has the power. Sessions knows he doesnt. nt

14. The meeting was requested by the Solicitor General

The office of the Solicitor General argues on behalf of the government in virtually every case in which the United States is a party.

I have to think that this is about the Mueller investigation.

19. But whose idea was it to meet in a restaurant and allow pictures?

Someone is trolling Trump...

[rsdsharp]

21. After the resignation of Rachel Brand

the Solicitor General is next in line to take over the supervision of the Mueller investigation in Rosenstein is fired or quits. Whatever this "meeting" was about, it could have taken place at the Justice Department behind closed doors. This was ole Jeffy showing solidarity with the Mueller investigation in as public a was as possible short of taking out an ad in the Post.

15. Ol' Jeffrey is figuring it out.

And doesn't want to do down with the SS Trumptanic.

[Chrysanthemum]

16. I think you may be right

But the Keebler elf's name is not Jeffrey, but Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. His name always cracks me up!

[SunSeeker]

20. No doubt Rosenstein has told him what they have on Trump. nt

18. That is some expert trolling on Sessions' part.
