Yep. I’ve been waiting for this one. Trump in one of his glorious Twitter Tirades has unleashed not only upon his “beleaguered” attorney general, one Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, who apparently should have remained loyal to the King President but who had the poor taste to recuse himself from the Russia investigation because, I guess, he still has a slim little modicum of respect for the law; he has (but naturally) conjured the vision of #Crooked Hillary who according to himself should be the true focus of the Russia investigation.
From the NYT, www.nytimes.com/…
WASHINGTON — President Trump turned up the pressure on his own attorney general on Monday, calling him “beleaguered” in a tweet questioning why the Justice Department is not investigating Hillary Clinton.
Mr. Trump’s comments are remarkable because if the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, is beleaguered of late it is largely because of Mr. Trump himself.
He also attacked Rep. Adam Schiff, of course, referring to him as “sleazy” which is hilarious under the circumstances but given Trump’s ability to sway his base may not be a harmless calumny; they are all too willing to cast aspersions on those opposing their Chosen One President (apparently not our President because he has no intention of listening to or taking into consideration the majority of Americans, since we didn’t vote for him!)
Anyway, I’m worried that the Republicans might well go along with this ugly charade. Rachel Maddow said something the other night that really troubled me, which was that the Senate Judiciary Committee under Chuck Grassley decided not to hold public testimony from Manafort and Jared Kushner but wants to hold an inquisition into Fusion GPS, the research group that hired Christopher Steele, instead.
