Members Juliajms Posted November 7, 2018 Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 Why did Trump turn on Sessions? They seem like birds of a feather to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 7, 2018 Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 He's been wanting to get rid of Sessions ever since Sessions refused to recuse himself but Trump was reluctant to do so, because it would be viewed as too obvious a move to try to punish a member of his own cabinet that he deemed disloyal. Now that Trump is smarting from a stinging loss in The House of Representatives (no matter what he claims, he's upset by it), he's unhinged and no longer cares about public perception. That's why Democrats are being foolish if they don't proceed with an investigation. Trump and the GOP don't care on whit about civility or fairness in rules of engagement, they certainly don't care about being nice or conciliatory. Meanwhile Democrats just got the House and are already wringing their hands about whether they will proceed with a basic, but entirely necessary investigation. I hope Rep. Maxine Waters requests those tax returns on Day 1 of her chairmanship-- Trump/Republicans have certainly threatened to investigate Democrats (including lawyers and witnesses to the Kavanaugh hearing) for everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted November 7, 2018 Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 @DramatistDreamer, isn't it the other way around? Sessions recused himself from the special counsel. Trump needs someone to fire Rosenstein and put a lid on the Mueller investigation, which I believe is too far gone. So this seems like a waste of energy. And a Mueller termination would need cause, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 7, 2018 Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 Something else to consider-- Sessions had refused to impede or halt the Mueller investigation. Session's removal might be one less obstacle to shutting down the Mueller investigation, which could trigger other many unforeseen consequences, a few of which, Trump might not like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted November 7, 2018 Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 They forgot to toss a date on that document, which means it's been sitting for a while in case the Dems took the house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
