Impeach Jeff Sessions

[H2O Man]

Obvious questions about the "ethics" of Jeff Sessions' role in the firing of James Comey focus on his taking action on the Russian investigation -- after he had recused himself when he was proven to have lied to the Senate committee. What should also be noted is that Sessions had promised to recuse himself from anything involving the Clinton campaign, yet the letters he and the assistant Attorney General focused primarily on Comey's handling of the e-mail issue:

1. Sessions is a traitor.

[uponit7771]

2. +1

[H2O Man]

7. Yes, he is.

Sessions is a terrible human being.

[Solly Mack]

9. Very much so.

[dalton99a]

13. There is no doubt.

[madokie]

28. Sure he is

[Locutusofborg]

3. 67 votes in the Senate

are required to remove Jeff Sessions from office. As the Republicans learned the hard way from the Bill Clinton impeachment, failure to get a guilty verdict via 67 Senators' votes only emboldens the impeached official.
I doubt that there are 19 Republicans in the Senate (plus all 48 Democrats & Independents) who would vote a former Senator guilty.

4. Sessions has an odd definition of "RECUSE."

I'd say he thinks it's an acronym for

Reignite
Extreme
Civil-war
Using
Suspect
Excuses.

Fitting for an evil elf named Jefferson Beauregard.

k&r,

[H2O Man]

10. Very good!

[spanone]

5. if they don't, a recusal becomes a farce.

our democracy itself is under attack.

[H2O Man]

11. Right.

These folks are attempting to destroy the foundations of the federal government.

[spanone]

18. + Kick

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Called it from the get go.

Sessions choice was purely for Trump's Protection and noting more. Mitch McConnell and Sessions are buds from way back. All about the money and Power.

[appal_jack]

8. A true Trumpanzee. nt

[H2O Man]

12. Definitely.

My father used to say that if you give a little man a little power, he'll create big problems.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. When Sessions was

nominated,first thought,this sucker suffers from Short Man's Disease and this is going to turn out badly.

[H2O Man]

15. I wish that

I could "recommend" that!

Some SMD suffers are tough as hell. Others -- like Sessions -- are toad stools.

[Solly Mack]

16. Up

I know we can't simply jail racists, but there is absolutely no reason to allow them in government.

A government with racists, whether they be in Congress or part of the cabinet, is a government that does not have the good of the country in mind. They will create laws and policies that serve only to harm others.

Racists have rights, I get that - but hate is not a desirable trait and ignorance serves no purpose in government.

They have a right to exist but that doesn't mean their thinking should be tolerated.

That Sessions recused himself and acted as he did anyway doesn't come as a shock but, yes, Sessions needs to go. He should have never been elevated to begin with.

Sessions is damaged goods. Like all racists.

[H2O Man]

19. Thank you.

He needs to be removed from office, and placed at the far margins of society.

[Solly Mack]

32. Sorry about the tangent. I really dislike that man and always have.

I also am so sick and tired of racists.

[H2O Man]

33. It's not a tangent,

it's his essence. I'm glad you noted it.

[malaise]

17. +1,000

He no noregard for the truth or justice

[H2O Man]

20. He is awful.

And that is his best quality: awful.

[malaise]

23. Isn't that the truth

He thinks he's winning this time for the Confederate goons

[oberliner]

21. Time to come to terms with the fact that no one will be impeached

The Republicans control Congress.

[H2O Man]

22. Respectfully disagree.

[oberliner]

24. Name one Republican who has expressed any support for impeachment

Of anyone connected to the current administration in any way.

[H2O Man]

25. yawn

[oberliner]

26. Which district is Congressperson Yawn from?

Never heard that name before.

[ms liberty]

27. Yes, he's a disgrace. K&R. n/t

[Me.]

29. An Inconsequential Man

Trying to finally be approved only to find that people see right through him.

[Achilleaze]

30. don't want no stinkin republican perjurer & traitor having anything...

to do with "justice."

Place a liar in charge of the truth? How republican is that?

[JudyM]

31. There aren't a lot of people who would be less appropriate for the job.

[colsohlibgal]

And Keebler needs their elf back.

[JudyM]
