Sessions' letter to Congress tonight is terrifying and indicates to me that is what Trumpy is aiming for. How does he do this? Just charge them in a deep red Texas, Alabama, or Mississippi county where no judge and jury will be fair and hope that you get to replace Ginsburg and Kennedy on the Supreme Court in the meantime. Pretty simple. Who or what is going to stop him? Paul Ryan? Ha-ha! Mitch McConnell? Ha-ha. No way. Who knows, maybe even someone taught him (Trump) about extraordinary rendition. Words like that may be too big for him to understand though.
The US took a GIGANTIC step towards becoming Putin's Russia tonight. I can't believe that it's not a banner headline everywhere that Sessions has acquiesced and is going to "lock them up." This is the first step towards Trump establishing his totalitarian dictatorship that we've been waiting for and fearing.
Hey, 'Murika, he's just doing what he "said he was going to do' right!?

Here's a snippet:
In a letter to House judiciary committee chairman Bob Goodlatte, assistant attorney general Stephen Boyd said the senior prosecutors will make recommendations to the attorney general and deputy general on whether "any matters not currently under investigation should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any merit the appointment of a special counsel."
Monday's letter comes after public criticisms of the Justice Department's focus from Trump, who has bemoaned the fact that he can't give direction to the agency.
Also, here notice the CNN Breaking News video clip with Don Lemon embedded in the article:

And I will continue to have faith in Muellar and his team and the awakening of middle America.

(36,225 posts)They're trying to outflank and do end runs around Mueller, but the FBI's sweep has already been wider and deeper than anything they're flinging out there.
What they're really doing is desperate floundering, and it's just making them sink deeper into the criminal quagmire.
