what's stopping sessions from telling everyone to gently caress off? not like trump is gonna fire him

nothin really but it would be extremely difficult to hold any sort of position, power, or even comfort if the entire DOJ/FBI/CIA is against you and you're supposed to be their boss

though every time this administration blunders into another huge scandal and refuses to do anything about it that guillotine gets just a little sharper

I dont get vote tampering at all from that article.

quote:

The warning signs had been building throughout the summer, but were far from clear. As WikiLeaks was pushing out emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee through online publication, American intelligence began picking up conversations in which Russian officials were discussing contacts with Trump associates, and European allies were starting to pass along information about people close to Mr. Trump meeting with Russians in the Netherlands, Britain and other countries.

But what was going on in the meetings was unclear to the officials, and the intercepted communications did little to clarify matters — the Russians, it appeared, were arguing about how far to go in interfering in the presidential election. What intensified the alarm at the Obama White House was a campaign of cyberattacks on state electoral systems in September, which led the administration to deliver a public accusation against the Russians in October.

But it wasn’t until after the election, and after more intelligence had come in, that the administration began to grasp the scope of the suspected tampering and concluded that one goal of the campaign was to help tip the election in Mr. Trump’s favor. In early December, Mr. Obama ordered the intelligence community to conduct a full assessment of the Russian campaign.

The list of should haves is getting long, mate

2. Should have given Comey some concrete shoes
3. Should have not elected a god drat orange gelatinous monster as President
4. Should have had one more hearing about Benghazi

I do think Obama pressing would've caused a revolt, but it's still deeply sad to me that even people posting on a dead gay comedy forum generally knew all of this eight months ago, but it's only becoming relevant now. I don't know how Obama and the security agencies could've handled it in the summer, but then again, why would I know? I'm not a president in my second term.

As for Republicans "owning it", they've owned some awful things in the past and still exist. This might impact them in the short term but they'll be back.

Sessions has been caught flat out lying to the Senate about meeting Russians during the campaign.

Obama's people spread the intel on the Russian election interference across the departments to prevent to from being suppressed by the incoming Trump Admin.

It's looking like the Russians really did temper in our election.
