Jeff Sessions

House Congressional Republicans are taking their stand with Special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the investigation of Trump-Russia investigation. According to the Donald Trump friend, Trump is considering firing Robert Mueller, and once again stopping the investigation.

Republicans are not asking the president not to entertain such thoughts as it will send a bad signal across Washington and the country.

                     

 Rep. Adam Kinzinger said "That would obviously be a bad move. I don’t think he’s really pondering it, My thought is more it’s somebody like Newt Gingrich floating it because he’s got a book coming out."

Donald Trump friend is Christopher Ruddy,  CEO of Newsmax Media while speaking to PBS on Monday and CNN on Tuesday says that Trump is considering Mueller, as he finds him “illegitimate, ” another Trump's supporter, Newt Gingrich who floated the idea, calling for Mueller's removal.

White House did not corroborate on Ruddy's statement, but instead distanced itself from the statement.

Congressional Republicans are now asking that the President allows Mueller to do this job, and some of the Republicans that have supported Mueller includes House speaker Paul Ryan.

At a press conference, Paul Ryan said;

I know Bob Mueller and I have confidence in Bob Mueller,I think the best thing to do is to let Robert Mueller do his job. I think the best vindication for the president is to let this investigation go on independently and thoroughly.

Though President Trump can't fire Mueller, he can only be fired by AG Sessions, but since Sessions already recused himself from the investigations, Trump can ask Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who was also the one that asked him to come aboard, and also is behind Mueller.

Though if Rosenstein refuses to fire Mueller, Trump could asks for his resignation letter or fire him, and ask Roseintein successor to let Mueller dissolve the investigation, or it gets better, Trump could ask that the Justice Department amend the regulation that will allow him fire Mueller from the investigation.

It will also be a dramatic turn of events of Trump decides to fire Mueller, because of the outrage and bad new coverage he got when the fired former FBI director, James Comey.

 

Jeff Sessions, Attorney General of the United States is in a scandal in the Trump's administration, after he was found to have met with a top Russian diplomat twice, and had failed to mention that during his confirmation hearing in the senate before his confirmation. Sessions had met the same person Michael Flynn met with that caused him his position in Donald Trump's cabinet.

Top democrats, including Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have asked that he resigned from his position.

While speaking to reporters, Chuck said;

Last night when I read the revelations ... and his decision to mislead Congress without those contacts, I felt a knot in the pit of my stomach.

The information reported last night makes it clear, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Attorney General Sessions cannot possibly lead an investigation ... with these revelations, he may very well become the subject of it.

While he would have needed all the help he could get from Republicans, several Republicans have asked him instead to recuse himself from the Trump-Russia inquiries.

The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Jason Chaffetz said, Sessions should further clarify his testimony. Also, another Republican and a friend of Session, Rob Portman of Ohio said; Jeff Sessions is a former colleague and a friend, but I think it would be best for him & for the country to recuse himself from the DOJ Russia probe.

Jeff Sessions had met with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador, known in the US intelligence circle as a top Russian spy and spy-recruiters in Washington.

Sessions met with Kislyak in July while at the Republican convention, and also met him in September in his office when Sessions was a member of the Senate Armed Services committee.

Attorney General Sessions Recused Himself From Trump-Russia Inquiry

Jeff Sessions have now removed himself from the investigations of Trump-Russia inquiry after backlash about his senate hearing where he denied meeting with any Russia officials.

In a news conference on Thursday, Sessions said that Justice Department staff recommended that he recuses himself from further investigation related to the Trump campaign. He said;

I feel like I should not be involved in investigating a campaign I had a role in

Sessions also defended his answer to Democratic Sen. Al Franken's question to him, he said that he had "focused (his) answer on" whether he met the official in his role as a campaign surrogate, not his position as a then-senator. In retrospect, I should have slowed down and said I did meet with one official a couple of times and that was the Russian ambassador.
