... Congressional Republicans, at one time solidified in their support for Sessions and strongly against his ouster, now look to be wavering — and that apparently has emboldened Trump to suggest he may soon take action.

In tweets Saturday morning, Trump again sought to distance himself from the Cohen case and implications that he did anything wrong, and he wrote: “Jeff Sessions said he wouldn’t allow politics to influence him only because he doesn’t understand what is happening underneath his command position. Highly conflicted Bob Mueller and his gang of 17 Angry Dems are having a field day as real corruption goes untouched. No Collusion!”

Trump then tweeted remarks made by Sen.

2. Any member of Congress not speaking out against this

Should be gone for it. Trump wants a DOTJ, and to criminalize opposition and those that won't bow down to him ,and this is putin's doing , just like he's done in russia. trump IS a russian asset doing putins bidding here for him, and giving him the right to criminalize anyone he wishes is another abuse of power , and an impeachable offense. Aiding and abetting an enemy is treasonous.
