So let me get this straight Sessions recused himself from the investigating Trump over Russian hacking of the election.

The only reason people recuse themselves is if they have an apparent conflict of interest.

So Jeff Sessions has a conflict of interest over investigating Russian interference in our election.


If an AG has a conflict of interest like that he shouldn't recuse. He needs to resign and possibly get investigated himself.

Obama would be a bad choice because it would be tainted with a political witch hunt and allow Trump to wriggle his way out of it.

im not completely disagreeing with you because i dont want heat from democrat thread posters, but it's a lot harder to run a competent campaign when every correspondence you've made in the last fifteen years is public knowledge. thats how nixon won term 2 mate

Trump managed to do it, and he's basically been a joke since the at least the 80s.

Well, he claims it's because he was, himself, part of the Trump campaign and wants to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

If that was his worry then he should have recused himself from the beginning.

If the appearance of impropriety is over Russian contacts in hacking the election there's no way you should be AG.

Kind of, but the fact the Russian interference could have been easily mitigated if Clinton ran a competent campaign does lessen that argument.

won't argue Clinton hosed up bigly but Trump clearly telegraphed the interference was not gonna stop with the election. Was basically suggesting his supporters should riot if he lost and he wouldn't accept the results. The goal of interfering seems like it was to cause internal crisis in the US despite whoever actually won

Is this right?
this is all so surreal

like best case scenario was trump delegitimizes the presidency, forms a communications company, and all of them get happy/rich

putin/russia get their destabilizing force and republican senate/house get to kick the ACA can down the road for another four years

and then like

woops, loving donald trump is president

and now bannon and some college republican dipshit, along with his extremely racist mentor, are trying to figure out how in the gently caress to make all of this work while placating the toddler pissbaby frontman they backed

using braggadocious "we're going to streamline gov't" to cover for their inability/lack of preparedness to staff positions
