AG was my guess

Donald has no use for Sessions anymore. Then, Rosenstein would lose his power if a new AG comes in, that is not recused from the Russia investigation.

Maybe there is someone in SC that would like his job?

There's another thread suggesting that he may have some money issues related to taking money from Hillary hate groups. Don't know the credibility of that source - Waiting for the experts to weigh in.

lifetime position, much cushier, safer and easier than taking flak for trump

Morning, before he made the announcement.

perhaps he read something and heard something that DOTUS is going down. He might be trying to make a slow exit so his geographic unavailability will decrease the likelihood that he will be subpoenaed to rat out the rest of them. He might be devious enough to see it coming.

...with his Committee assignments.

came 2 days after reading Nunes' memo and intel, and she found that interesting.

He's not resigning; he's just not running for re-election. He could be angling for a federal judgeship next year, though.

that he was announcing now because the filing date is in 6 weeks and he wanted to smooth the way for anyone thinking about getting in the race.

If he stepped down early there would have to be a special election, which would be pointless since the regular election is in November.

any special election because the temporary position can be a leg up.

Trump goes after just about everybody in his sphere. Gowdy may not be smart enough to know that he'll be taking a ride down shit's creek attaching himself to this administration. But it's so obvious at this point. Hard to know what plan he has for his future.

Maybe Mueller should yank him in for a conversation. That could make Gowdy brand new. Mueller's questions would give Gowdy a lot of info about exactly what Mueller already knows. Enough to make anyone run the other way from Trump.

they all see the handwriting on the wall about November, and they don't want to be in the minority.

like all the rest of those scumbag traitor pieces of shit

The only reason Rosenstein is in charge is because Sessions is recused.

If a new AG takes over, then Mueller reports to the new AG.

Why not just wait to be appointed to the job?

....maybe the wife ain't happy with his new squeeze, or something??

Dunno if it's true, but if he thinks that Mueller et al might be coming for him he may want to be in a position to make a deal. Might be a bit uncomfortable to go in the office and face everybody you just ratted out. Just speculating here, but if anybody knows where the bodies are buried it'd be him...





Laura

...and made him promise to return to their Committee if he found any more evidence on Hillary Clinton? Not too long afterwards, Comey found Hillary's email on Anthony Wiener's phone. He then went public with the information, a few days before the election, and quite possibly cost her the election?

ship.

do his job and leave him be.

So many that would probably get re-elected aren't even going to bother. They might be corrupt and disgusting but I think the humiliation and self loathing one must feel having to bow down and kiss the crusty toe fungused feet of their supreme leader might even be too much for these souless ghouls.

recently.

This is particularly frightening because we must assume that he would be the conversation for SCOTUS, if god forbid, there is another vacancy while Trump is president and McConnell is running the Senate.

(or memo?) that Nunes is pushing and then announced he was running two days later. Did he see something that has him worried?
