Sessions admitted that the Trump administration doesn't understand the rules about when to recuse oneself from an investigation.

He lost his best protective barrier to being investigated. So he's flipping out.

Complete guess on my side, but after freaking out, he went on a binge of some sort when he read the brietbart article about wiretapping.

He is currently off his rocker. We should be afraid right now.

Trump flashes anger over Sessions recusal, Russia stories in Oval Office meeting - ABC News
https://apple.news/AxfBj35ggQimI7KuqdxQq6w

Before heading off to his so-called "winter White House" in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, President Donald Trump summoned some of his senior staff to the Oval Office and went "ballistic," senior White House sources told ABC News

Hours earlier, aboard the ship, the president had told reporters that he had "total" confidence in Sessions and saw no reason why the attorney general should recuse himself.

“We should have had a good week. We should have had a good weekend. But once again, back to Russia," a senior White House official said, expressing the frustration simmering in the West Wing following the news earlier in the week that Sessions failed to disclose during his confirmation process that he had met with the Russian ambassador twice during the election campaign

It was 1989 and Outlaw, the Republican mayor of Mobile, Alabama, was girding himself for his re-election campaign. Word was that Lambert Mims, a popular local Democrat, would run against him. Some Republicans were growing skittish.

But a close friend of Outlaw’s had something planned. The friend had been president of the state Young Republicans, chairman of the regional GOP, then a senior official in the Mobile County Republican party. And now he was the top federal prosecutor in southern Alabama.

“Jeff says that Mims won’t be around by that time,” an Outlaw aide said ominously, while discussing the election at a City Hall meeting that February, according to a sworn affidavit from an official who was in the room.

A few months later, Mims confirmed that he would be challenging Outlaw. Then Jeff Sessions made his move.

As more details emerge of meetings with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and TV hosts have a field day, the scandal seems unlikely to disappear soon

Sessions, then the US attorney for Alabama’s southern district, indicted Mims on criminal corruption charges relating to obscure four-year-old negotiations over a planned recycling plant. Mims was the ninth notable Democrat in the area to be indicted by Sessions since the young Republican was appointed by President Ronald Reagan. He would not be the last.

Opponents concluded that Sessions used his federal prosecutor’s office, and the FBI agents who worked for him, as political weapons, according to more than half a dozen veterans of Mobile’s 1980s legal and political circles. Some alleged in court filings that the ambitious young Republican actually worked from a “hitlist” of Democratic targets.

The White House are full of idiots lmfao.

 

[TheNightKing]

So this is their way of avoiding the topic and placing the responsibility on someone else for the bullshit comments the president made based on a Breitbart article.

Press needs to figure out a way to back Trump against the wall on all his bullshit. Somehow expose the lunacy of his administration to his adamant supporters.

 

[TheNightKing]

Russian investigation has substantiated facts behind it.

Please reveal the substantiated facts behind the abuse of executive branch investigative powers.

 

[naledgestate]

6 Russian diplomats die within 4 months?

Nothing to see here folks.

As if to a 4 year old, it isn't already blatantly obvious?
