    Jeff Sessions has announced that he will recuse himself from the big "Russia" witch hunt: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...elated-probes-denies-misleading-congress.html

    Now will the rabid, radical Democrats be satisfied? Oh, hell no! It's just a matter of time before they stage their next ambush in their ongoing attempt to wreck the Trump administration. But with extra time on his hands now, I hope Attorney General Sessions announces new probes and investigation into Hillary Clinton's obvious crimes against national security, classified information, and for turning the State Department into a whorehouse for international "donors" to the Clinton Foundation! :eekeyes:

    Wake up, President Trump, and realize that you are dealing with people who will move heaven and earth to make certain that you FAIL, no matter what it takes!

    Were you satisfied when Loretta Lynch recused herself from the Hillary investigation?

    Well Sessions is trying to do the right thing but he and the Trump administration will realize that there is no "right thing" with the democrats. This is purely a politically manufactured situation by the democrats. But perhaps it will be a good hobby for the democrats to chase while dealing with their devastating loss.

    Lynch should have resigned and Hillary should have withdrawn from the election while preparing for her prison time.

    This is a good result. If you wanted the Russian investigation to have the appearance of finality due to a lack of perceived bias, then you should agree with this decision. This will continue to be a headache for the White House, but I don't foresee there being enough to force Sessions to resign nor do I see enough for a criminal investigation for perjury.

    He lied, under oath, to Congress and the American people. Your top cop! That's about as serious as it gets. But apparently it's excusable, because...?

    Yes she publicly stated that she would follow the recommendation made by the FBI. The FBI recommended no prosecution.

    It was the right thing to do.

    The Trump administration has been a train wreck from day one. It didn't and doesn't need any help from the "rabid, radical Democrats".

    Let's not forget Benghazi. We could use another 30 or so hearings on that. LOCK HER UP!!! LOCK HER UP!!! LOCK HER UP!!!

    Once again, like his administration, he doesn't need any help. He is doing a fine job all by himself of being a failure.

    She never said she was recusing herself. In doing so, she put the onus on the FBI where it did not belong. Sneaky, slimy typical of the Obama administration.

    Good luck with your fantasy.

    You should go write a story about it on the "hillary is prez" fantasy website.

    She did take the 5th a lot though.

    At least she didn't get caught gun running like Holder.

    There may not be enough evidence to force a resignation or a charge of perjury. Something Paul Ryan said keeps rattling around in my brain thoughÂ….

    I don't think Paul Ryan chose those words accidentally, but time will tell.

    Lynch is dirty and sleazy just the way Obama likes. Those sleazeballs slithered out leaving land mines for Trump.

    No. He did not lie to congress.

    Right, because he didn't.

    She was not a private citizen at the time.

    only republicans can wear different hats depending on the meeting?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Sure she was, she's allowed to have conversations unrelated to work. And when she does it's as a private citizen.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yet she never perjured herself

    Well now that's hard to craft with credibility. Ms Lynch was on the clock, on a government owned aircraft, tasked for her benifit, traveling for government business.

    Lynch was on the clock.

    Cheers
