					<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s something I hope someone is investigating.
It seems to have dropped off the media radar, even on the Right.
Personally, I think the Campaign Finance Laws are a farce, because they are so easily misused &lt;em&gt;legally&lt;/em&gt;, and violations are never prosecuted unless you are a Republican.

http://thefederalist.com/2018/04/24/bombshell-fec-records-indicate-hillary-campaign-illegally-laundered-84-million/

&quot;FEC records, however, show several large contributions reported as received by the HVF and the same amount on the same day (or occasionally the following day) recorded as received by the DNC from a state Democratic committee, but without the state Democratic committee ever reporting the contribution.

For instance, the HVF reported transferring $19,500 to the Mississippi Democratic Party on November 2, 2015, and the Democratic National Committee reported receiving $19,500 from the Mississippi Democratic Party on November 2, 2015. But the Mississippi Democratic Party never recorded the receipt or the disbursement of the $19,500, and without the Mississippi Democratic Party controlling the funds, the HVF’s contribution to the DNC violated campaign finance law.

Over a 13-month period, FEC records show some 30 separate occasions when the HVF transferred contributions totaling more than $10 million to the DNC &lt;b&gt;without any corresponding record of the receipt or disbursement from the state parties, thus illegally leap-frogging the state Democratic parties.&lt;/b&gt;

On the other hand, of the contributions state parties reported as received from the HVF, 99 percent wound up at the DNC. They were transferred immediately or within a day or two, raising questions of whether the state Democratic committees truly exercised control over the money—something necessary under campaign finance law to allow a later-legal transfer to the DNC.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sessionszzz&#039; statement is nonsensical because he&#039;s not investigating Hillary as far as anyone can tell. I mean, there are rumors that she&#039;s still being investigated (Huber in UT), but nobody&#039;s seen a shred of evidence that it&#039;s real.

This, despite the facts that her exoneration was rigged and that the personnel in charge of her previous &quot;investigation&quot; were crooked as hell.

This SHOULD call into question all their work, but has anyone heard Sessionszzz say he&#039;s reopening the email case? How about the new revelation that Strzok only looked at 3000 handpicked emails out of tens of thousands? Shouldn&#039;t that have justified the case being reopened?

From a different angle, you can also say that if the AG has lost the confidence of the president then that&#039;s all the justification you need to fire him. Furthermore, if Sessionszzz has recused himself from all matters Russian, then his firing can&#039;t affect the Russian investigation. Lastly, the appointment of a replacement whom everyone agrees is impartial cannot be automatic interference in the Russian investigation if he shuts it down. Either the investigation can stand on its own merits or it cannot.

I believe the GOP establishment wants to keep Sessionszzz in office to ensure that justice is never done; that nobody who is guilty is ever convicted, because D.C. is an interlocking web of corruption: as soon as a few underlings start being prosecuted, they&#039;ll roll over on the higher up and the whole rotten edifice will collapse.
I assume the GOPe is actually guilty of something pretty bad, and they don&#039;t want to be exposed. I think that&#039;s how they worked on Sessions: by appealing to his wrong-headed sense of patriotism.

Sessionszzz must go.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.&quot;
Failure to turn over documents by the FBI &#038; DOJ to Congress are clearly political considerations.
The FISA application rubber stamp was likely impeachable offense by the judges (R), as well as firing by the DOJ &#038; FBI (Comey gone, Rosenstein signed off and is terrible).

Sessions probably can&#039;t be fired before the midterms, tho it looks like there will be a breakup.  Maybe he&#039;ll just leave?

Don&#039;t you feel a bit sorry for Trump?  I do, I hate injustice and double standards.  Which the Dems are showing.

Which might be part of The Donald&#039;s plan, or might be luck for him -- if I were the Reps, I&#039;d sure be emphasizing the unprosecuted wrongs of the Dems vs. the non-Russian indictments of Trump associates (who were slimy and likely guilty, but only prosecuted because of Trump.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What is so puzzling? Trump wants Sessions to protect him from prosecutors uncovering his criminal acts.He said as much:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
“I don’t want to get into loyalty, but I will tell you that, I will say this: Holder protected President Obama. Totally protected him” 

“When you look at the things that they did, and Holder protected the president. And I have great respect for that, I’ll be honest.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Now we all know Trump believes, or says he believes, that Obama did awful illegal things. Perhaps many of you here believe that too.

I&#039;m not here to question that belief. I&#039;m only here to point out that Trump wants an AG who will protect a President who commits criminal acts. 

That&#039;s the plain meaning of his words. His &quot;I&#039;ll be honest&quot; quip tells us that he&#039;s fully aware that what he&#039;s saying is damning. 

But apparently that&#039;s a bridge too far for Sessions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have been of the general opinion that Sessions and Trump were playing some kind of game - good cop, bad cop, or my favourite that Sessions was playing possum to let the lawfare types hang themselves. But yeah, I can&#039;t see it anymore. There he was like Horatio at the bridge, right there as AG with a gang of lawyers, Gmen and spooks hell bent on a coup d&#039;etat and he turns into Sergeant Schultz. It is time for Trump to bring Niccolò Machiavelli out of retirement and appoint him AG.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;If such a general house cleaning and round of prosecutions has not happened by now, it’s never going to happen.&lt;/b&gt;

The media is not allowing you to pay attention to the pedo arrests.

As for Sessions not knowing this would happen... even I knew this would happen although the methods I predicted were more Final than dramatic.

Perhaps if Americans ever decide to elect the best of humanity rather than the worst of humanity to the great capital of evil, District of Columbia, things would change. Change is not something talked about.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Way back when, Glen Reynolds commented that Sessions wasn&#039;t the Attorney General Trump needed. I&#039;ve tried to give Sessions the benefit of the doubt, but I can no longer support that optimistic view. Trump needs a wartime consigliere and Sessions isn&#039;t it. Too bad. This whole mess could have been avoided if Sessions were street smart and had a clue. Nice man, wrong man for the position.]]></description>
