Maybe, maybe not, he may have done what he was supposed to do and now he is getting out of the way.

[AuH20]

Trump needs to produce federal indictments against the democratic deep state as well as the Republican co-conspirators if necessary. Go for broke. The evidence is there in spades, but he must possess the courage to pursue justice.

I will refrain from saying "good riddance" until I see who replaces him.

Absolutely, it is time for the gloves to come off, we need to either bring down enough Dems to reverse the election loss or kick off the civil war.

[Swordsmyth]

Trump, who requested Sessions' resignation, named the attorney general's chief of staff Matthew Whitaker to serve as interim attorney general.

Does anyone know anything about him?

[AuH20]

Absolutely, it is time for the gloves to come off, we need to either bring down enough Dems to reverse the election loss or kick off the civil war.

Jeff Sessions out as attorney general

President Donald Trump on Wednesday fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

"At your request I am submitting my resignation," Sessions wrote in a letter to White House chief of staff John Kelly.

Matthew Whitaker will take over as acting attorney general, the President said.

Whitaker is expected to take charge of the the Russia investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

"We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well ...We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well! A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date," Trump tweeted.




The move is an abrupt end to what had been a tumultuous tenure for Sessions, originally one of Trump's earliest and most loyal surrogates as an Alabama Republican senator. He was a key figure in effectuating Trump's vision for America and significantly rolled back Obama-era policies on immigration, police reform and civil rights.

Sessions was an enforcer of much of the Trump administration's hardline approach on immigration and regularly praised the President's tough words on crime. But even as he continued to implement the Trump agenda, his relationship with the President remained strained and fraught for months due to the ongoing Mueller investigation.

Trump’s Acting Attorney General Whitaker, who has criticized the Mueller probe, will now oversee it

President Donald Trump’s acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, will oversee special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, NBC News reported Wednesday.

The report followed Trump’s announcement in a tweet that Attorney General Jeff Sessions would be replaced by Whitaker, who was Sessions’ chief of staff at the Justice Department.

It was not immediately clear how the staffing change will impact Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is currently overseeing the Mueller probe.

Whitaker argued in an August op-ed for CNN that Mueller’s investigation is “dangerously close to crossing” the so-called red line not to look into the Trump family’s finances.

“It does not take a lawyer or even a former federal prosecutor like myself to conclude that investigating Donald Trump’s finances or his family’s finances falls completely outside of the realm of his 2016 campaign and allegations that the campaign coordinated with the Russian government or anyone else,” Whitaker wrote in the piece.

“That goes beyond the scope of the appointment of the special counsel.”

Sessions had been a frequent target of Trump’s ire since he recused himself from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin.

Trump puts CNN commentator in charge of Justice Department

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/09/matthew-whitaker-donald-trump-jeff-sessions-witch-hunt-mueller-russia/


Before entering government as Sessions’ chief of staff last September, Whitaker was a legal commentator for CNN and appeared several times on network programs to opine on Mueller’s probe and the investigation into Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

In an appearance on Don Lemon’s show last summer, Whitaker predicted Trump would put pressure on Rosenstein and “try to get Rod to maybe even cut the budget of Bob Mueller.”

“I think what ultimately the president is going to start doing is putting pressure on Rod Rosenstein, who is in charge of this investigation,” Whitaker said, “and really try to get Rod to maybe even cut the budget of Bob Mueller and do something a little more stage crafty than the blunt instrument of firing the attorney general and trying to replace him.”

And do we know if the real Q was the one who made that post, or was it one of the fake ones?

Do we know if any Q's are real? Or just somebody messing with people who want to believe?

[PAF]

On October 23, 2014, Whitaker joined the advisory board for World Patent Marketing, a patent assistance organization based out of Miami, Florida and founded in February 2014. He said, "World Patent Marketing has become a trusted partner to many inventors that believe in the American Dream...I have always admired World Patent Marketing and its innovative products and dynamic leadership team. It's an honor to join the World Patent Marketing board." This was re-announced the following week with the title, "Former US Attorney Whitaker Joins World Patent Marketing to Protect Inventors From Patent Marketing Scam", and the statement, "'World Patent Marketing is deeply concerned about the integrity of the patent system,' according to Bill Flanagan, VP of Public Relations for WorldPatentMarketing.com, 'As the fastest growing patent assistance company, it is our responsibility to weed out the bad actors.'" Less than two months later, the company announced his "renewal", and Whitaker stated, "As a former US Attorney, I would only align myself with a first class organization...World Patent Marketing goes beyond making statements about doing business 'ethically' and translate (sic) those words into action." CEO Scott J. Cooper "gave Whitaker's 2014 Senate campaign a $2,600 donation and paid him nearly $10,000, World Patent Marketing records show."

The firm was closed in May 2017 by the Federal Trade Commission for fraud.

His replacement was Luther Strange. On the three different bills, "Repeal and Replace", "Partial Repeal" and "Skinny Repeal" he voted with Republicans in favor of changing Obamacare- so Sessions would not have made a difference if he was there instead. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/07/25/us/politics/senate-votes-repeal-obamacare.html (Rand Paul was a "NO" on "Repeal and Replace").

[Swordsmyth]

Flashback:

25 Aug 2016 On Thursday, Matthew Whitaker, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, told SiriusXM host Matt Boyle of Breitbart News Daily that he has always believed “this pay-to-play, Clinton Foundation, State Department situation is much more serious” than the original Clinton email scandal. “James Comey, the director of the FBI, stood up and talked about the emails, and the emailing of classified information. That was serious, but the real ballgame is the situation you’re describing, and that is where Clinton Foundation donors were given preferential treatment,” Whitaker told Boyle. He added:

It’s very interesting to watch the Clinton camp try to explain away these meetings. But, like you said, 50 percent of the meetings she took with people that were not essentially employees or representatives of countries or the like, just sort of individuals that wanted to meet with the Secretary of State, 50 percent of those – as the AP has reported (https://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/08/23/ap-many-donors-clinton-foundation-met-hillary-state/), more than 50 percent – were Clinton Foundation donors.
“It is not possible for them to explain away that Clinton Foundation donors were given preferential treatment when it came to seeing the Secretary of State. It’s just the way business was done,” Whitaker declared, continuing:

The frustrating thing for me continues to be, she had the private email server to avoid public disclosure of her emails. She didn’t turn over any emails until two years after she was supposed to, in 2012, from the illegal server. And yet, we are now almost four years since she finished serving, and we’re still gonna see another 15,000 – what the State Department is calling “documents,” and that’s a very interesting term to me, so I think there’s more to it than just the emails.
“And then Judicial Watch continues to have their litigation with the State Department, and we continue to have revelations of more emails, that are really, quite frankly, more concerning than the initial flood that we got, that dripped out over the past year as part of the Benghazi investigation,” he said. “This is kind of a big deal, and my group, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (http://www.factdc.org/), has been pressing hard on the State Department to try to get to the bottom of this, together with groups like Judicial Watch (http://www.judicialwatch.org/).”
“It’s going to be very interesting,” Whitaker anticipated, “if this can all be, or is, revealed, before the beginning of November.”
He said the demise of the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s activities is “one of the reasons that a special counsel is required.”

Trump didn't like Sessions because he didn't stop the various investigations of Trump.

But Trump didn't fire Sessions because it was doubtful whether the GOP Senate would cooperate with that and confirm a successor.

Now, the GOP gained a couple seats, so he fires Sessions.

...but there won't be any double secret sealed pizza shop related indictments: just the installation of a more Trump-PR friendly person.

[Krugminator2]

(Rand Paul was a "NO" on "Repeal and Replace").

Worth noting that bill did not repeal and replace Obamacare. Mike Lee was also a no.

Also worth noting the half measure Republicans took just eliminating the individual mandate (which Rand did vote for) raised my premiums $600 next year.

Chris Christie being considered to replace Sessions as attorney general

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chris-christie-being-considered-for-replacing-sessions-as-attorney-general/


Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is being considered to replace Jeff Sessions as attorney general, two sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News. President Trump forced Sessions out as the nation's chief law enforcement officer on Wednesday, one day after Democrats captured the House in the midterm elections.

No decisions are expected soon, and the list of those being considered — which also includes Rudy Giuliani, outgoing Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and former Attorney General William Barr, who served under President George H. W. Bush — is likely to grow in the coming days, CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett reports.


Looks like we gotta get busy popping trial balloons! Sheesh, what a list!

Well, that escalated quickly. On Wednesday, President Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and by the end of the day major leftist organizations had already put together protests in 900 U.S. cities to make a “public demand for action to correct this injustice”.

According to both pages, the protests will be held on November 8th at 5 PM local time…

BREAKING: PROTESTS CALLED FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 5 PM LOCAL TIME
Donald Trump has installed a crony to oversee the special counsel’s Trump-Russia investigation, crossing a red line set to protect the investigation. By replacing Rod Rosenstein with just-named Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker as special counsel Robert Mueller’s boss on the investigation, Trump has undercut the independence of the investigation. Whitaker has publicly outlined strategies to stifle the investigation and cannot be allowed to remain in charge of it. The Nobody Is Above the Law network demands that Whitaker immediately commit not to assume supervision of the investigation. Our hundreds of response events are being launched to demonstrate the public demand for action to correct this injustice. We will update this page as the situation develops.
Anyone that thought that the midterm elections would calm down the level of strife in this country was just being delusional.
The truth is that the left was holding back during the run up to the midterm elections because they didn’t want to turn any potential voters against their candidates. Now that the midterm elections are over, they are free to do whatever they want.
The far left group Common Dreams is also participating in these “response events”, and the following is what their website says about them (https://www.commondreams.org/news/2018/11/07/red-line-crossed-nationwide-protests-declared-thursday-5pm-after-jeff-sessions-fired)…

Progressive organizations have announced coordinated protests to take place in cities and communities nationwide (https://www.trumpisnotabovethelaw.org/event/mueller-firing-rapid-response/search/) on Thurdsay, November 8th at 5 PM (local time) in the wake of President Donald Trump’s firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Right after Trump forced Sessions to resign, the White House announced that Matthew Whitaker—a DOJ official who has shown open hostility to the probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller—would now serve as acting AG and be put in charge of the ongoing investigation.
It is quite funny that the left is getting so bent out of shape regarding the firing of an Attorney General that many of them absolutely hated.
But of course the truth is that this is all about the Mueller investigation. After all this time, many on the left are still holding out hope that this could be a way to get rid of Donald Trump, and they are deeply concerned that the dismissal of Sessions could greatly endanger that investigation.
And of course top Democratic leaders are adding fuel to that fire. For example, the following is what former Attorney General Eric Holder is saying (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/sessions-resignation-ignites-fierce-political-reaction-this-is-a-red-line/ar-BBPsmJu)…

Former Attorney General Eric Holder said on Twitter he worries Session’s exit could negatively impact Robert Mueller’s investigation.
“Anyone who attempts to interfere with or obstruct the Mueller inquiry must be held accountable,” Holder tweeted (https://twitter.com/EricHolder/status/1060263157262893056). “This is a red line. We are a nation of laws and norms not subject to the self-interested actions of one man.”
No, we are not a nation of laws.
If we were a nation governed by the rule of law, Hillary Clinton would have been put in prison a long time ago.
The only reason the left is using this sort of rhetoric is because they are desperate to take down Trump.
The reality of the matter is that Jeff Sessions had been doing an absolutely horrible job, and he should have been fired over a year ago. Trump showed a tremendous amount of patience keeping him on until now, and he should be applauded for finally making a change.
