Sen. Leahy Goes After Sessions on Twitter: 'You Can't Run Forever'

Source: Mediaite



by Josh Feldman | 9:24 am, June 11th, 2017

Senator Patrick Leahy, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, went after Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Twitter this morning.

Sessions has indicated that he will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee this Tuesday, though it’s not clear whether this will be in open or closed session.

However, Sessions is no longer testifying before the appropriations committee, and Leahy isn’t happy about that:








Yes, that is a top Senate Democrat telling the Attorney General “you can’t run forever” on Twitter.

This is the Republican party. A nice collection of psychopaths and grifters who will stop at nothing to get their way.

and do you want to have a stay in state run prison, or a for profit one or not.

Since your a big advocate for the for profit ones, you can enjoy the absolute greed first hand while your in segregation, looking out from the bars. None of the minimum security sh*t full blown gonzo for a traitor.

Since its more than likely that it will be a federal hoosegow, do like Leavenworth or the one in Colorado that's underground to protect society from traitors, 24 hours a day, with a concrete bunk, stainless steel toilet and sink, you can cell mates, Kusher, Flynn, Mannafort, Page, and even the sexual predator or others take your pick

The elfs insistence that the penalty for committing a crime should be the most severe available.

So when he's being prosecuted I hope he get the maximum penalty, period.

And I hope it's severe as they can make it, do the crime, do the time.

And I hope they convict him of treason.

Turn his own tables on him.

Let him live up to his own draconian beliefs.

Charge Jeff Sessions with Contempt of Congress!

Make it publicly known that he is a marked man, hiding secrets important to this investigation. Robert Mueller is one man Sessions will fear and he will be right to do so.

for insults by the Administration. Sessions should NOT be allowed to travel first-class anywhere on official business. Should not be allowed to stay in any 5-star hotel. Should have his reputation fund reduced to $200.00.
