President Trump on Wednesday launched a new attack on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, calling it "disgraceful" that he has asked an inspector general and not Justice Department lawyers to investigate potential surveillance abuses.

The president said the Justice Department’s inspector general is ill-equipped to probe allegations that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was improperly used to surveil members of his campaign team.

2. Speaking like a frightened rabbit.......

About to be scooped up by the talons of vultures flying overhead. They can smell impending death for miles.

3. That tweet was a typo. He meant to type, "SCARED 2 DEATH FML"

[get the red out]

4. Sessions is his nominee

He could just fire him, insane.

[briv1016]

23. He doesn't have the guts to fire him, so he's trying to make him quit.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. or keeping for verbal abuse

TrumPutin likes toadies.

5. Clearly, Trump doesn't realize

That his Twitter Machine is capable of making telephone calls

6. What does he think the role of the Inspector General is?

It is entirely reasonable to have the IG investigate what DOJ did on FISA. Not to mention, there is no proven "massive FISA abuse" and a President should not be saying that. In addition, he needs to stop all this "Obama guy" nonsense for positions like this.

[turbinetree]

7. He sees Obama under everything...............what a paranoid POS

his insanity is getting bigger and more dangerous.....................


I wonder if his Communications Director (Hope Hicks) wrote this.................because after all she likes to tell "White Lies" ..........and admits it in a intelligence committee hearing.................


November 2018 cannot get here fast enough..................and counting

8. Use my goon squad to harass my enemies....

.... and come down on them like the wrath of God plus a wall of a ton of bricks collapsing on them.

A professional, impartial, independent investigator might not rule against them as harshly as djt had in mind.

Punishment must be ruthless and unforgiving to make it perfectly clear - No one crosses "The Donald" !

[enough]

9. He is ripping our government to shreds. This is pure dictator behavior. NT

[atreides1]

12. Yes he is!

And the Republicans in Congress are aiding him in his efforts...as are those voters who still support him, unquestionably!!!

He has a lot of help!

[MyOwnPeace]

29. Thank you..............

that needs continuous repeating - he is consistently being aided, supported, and encouraged by the majority of the Republican party!

10. Something's coming down

This tweet, and so many recent tweets, seem unhinged, even by Trump's low standards.

He knows something is coming down on him and/or his family members. He's trying to create a diversion, and his AG is not cooperating.

It won't be long when the bottom falls out for this moron, and he will be unable to find anyone who will come to work in his administration. He's scraping the bottom of the barrel as it is. Trump won't be able to find qualified people to serve in his administration at his rallies. No one is going to risk their current jobs, their futures or their reputations to come to work for this raving lunatic.

If Jeff Sessions was not loyal enough for Donald Trump, what are his chances of finding someone to replace him who will (1) follow his commands, even if they are illegal and/or unethical, and (2) receive confirmation in a Senate that's only 51 to 49.

The walls are closing in and the sky is falling, Mr. President*, and there is no place left to hide.

[FreepFryer]

15. This. (n/t)

[machoneman]

25. I do hope he fires Sessions! Here's why.....

No right thinking Republiscum would even think of taking the job appointmrnt. And even if he/she was appointed, the Democrats would eat that person alive even before a vote. That and the chance of anyone even remotely qualified applying....we'd shoot down just to spite the orange-maned Dotard!

[MyOwnPeace]

30. Sorry, but not so sure............

we could count on any replacement being voted down.
Think of all of the questions raised as IQ45's Cabinet was being put into place.
Didn't most of them get in anyhow (yes, Granny Sessions being one of them!)?

I wish you were right - but my faith in the "system" is at an all-time low!

11. Kushner better get ready for his perp walk

[OldHippieChick]

13. "Strawberries"

[lunasun]

26. And geometric logic !

[riversedge]

14. Sessions has no self-respect when he allows Trump to continually diss him in public.

[Va Lefty]

17. I think Jeffy will put with most anything

as long as he can lock up and disenfranchise African Americans

[happy feet]

24. This

[Satch59]

16. prosecutorial...too big a word for him...

I think someone else wrote it except for DISGRACEFUL but it seems to be missing more exclamation marks...

[Paladin]

18. trump, inadvertently giving Sessions a chance to look principled.

I doubt that Sessions will take advantage of this opportunity.

[unblock]

28. indeed. scary how *sessions*, of all people, is the one guy who somehow looks principled.

[Thincomme72]

19. +1

32. welcome to DU

20. The troll stomps on the elf again

[Maxheader]

21. My CNBX

stock goes up every time the shrimp screws up.

[duforsure]

22. He's pissed again

Because its not the Department of Trump Justice, yet anyway. He wants to be judge, jury, and executioner. He really wants absolute power,and not have to answer to anyone for anything he wants to do, and where the rule of law applies to everyone else except him and his family and for those few that kiss his ass.

[Whiskeytide]

27. This is all for show...

... for the base. He can direct Session to take the action he’s complaining about. He could fire him if he refuses. He could do all of that face to face with Sessions. He just wants his base to think everyone is out to get him in this “Witch Hunt”, so that when he’s “gotten”, they will think he’s been done wrong.
