Will it be a Swift Goodbye to Attorney General Jeff Sessions After the Mid Term Elections

Share this article

The mystery of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is astonishing. He won’t make it past the New Year. President Donald Trump will fire Sessions right after the mid-term national election on Nov. 6. He might as well resign and get on back to Alabama before the axe falls.

That day in March 2017 Sessions — fell into a deep black hole — when he recused himself from any oversight involvement in the ongoing Russia-Trump election collusion probe begun by now disgraced and fired former high-level FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok. Because of Sessions’ recusal, the Russia-Trump thing got handed over to Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein who then hired former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to continue the Russia-Trump investigation after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.

In his usual rough and tumble way President Trump has repeatedly criticized Sessions openly in interviews, during press conferences and Twitter tweets. Not just over the recusal but for being a generally weak U.S. Attorney General that many observers say Sessions is AWOL or missing-in-action from the job.

“I don’t have an attorney general. It’s very sad,” President Trump said last week. “I’m not happy with numerous things, not just this … I’m so sad over Jeff Sessions because he came to me. He was the first senator that endorsed me. And he wanted to be attorney general, and I didn’t see it … it was very unfair what he did.”

“And he went through the nominating process and he did very poorly. I mean, he was mixed up and confused, and people that worked with him for, you know, a long time in the Senate were not nice to him, but he was giving very confusing answers. Answers that should have been easily answered. And that as a rough time for him.

“We’ll see how it goes with Jeff. I’m very disappointed in Jeff. Very disappointed.”

Many good people have come and gone in Trump’s White House and Sessions will just be another one that can’t keep up with the boss and do what the boss wants done. Rarely is Sessions seen publically and when he is he appears uncomfortable, apprehensive without confidence. Because of the political atmosphere of the day, if Sessions doesn’t resign he’s toast right after Nov. 6 no matter which way the mid-term elections turn out.

Frequent Trump supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) recently said this about Sessions: “The president’s entitled to having an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that is qualified for the job, and I think there will come a time sooner rather than later where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice. Clearly, Attorney General Sessions doesn’t have the confidence of the president.”

Say goodbye Jeff.

Get a load of this – former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has a book deal brewing through MacMillion Publishing – same one that published “A Greater Loyalty” by fired FBI Director James Comey.

McCabe’s anti-Trump book is entitled “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.” LOL.

According to the publisher, McCabe will describe “a series of troubling, contradictory, and often bizarre conversations” with Trump and other high officials that led him to believe the “actions of this President and his administration undermine the FBI and the entire intelligence community” and threaten the general public, reported apnews.com.

The real threat to the integrity of the United States of America is people like McCabe and his pal Comey and the other “Deep Stater’s” that are being exposed — and removed from public service.

“The Threat” comes out Dec. 4 just in time for Christmas.
