Scaramucci admits Trump wants Sessions fired: It’s like divorce — ‘either you get together or separate’

White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci on Monday conceded that President Donald Trump “probably” wants to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Trump has recently attacked his attorney general on Twitter and in a New York Times interview for recusing himself from the Russia investigation.

In an interview on Monday, conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt asked Scaramucci why Trump had not already fired Sessions.

“Well, I think Trump has a certain style, he’s obviously frustrated,” the communications director opined. “I said yesterday that maybe the two of them would get together. I guess the president doesn’t want to do that. Him and Jeff — sorry, Attorney General Sessions — need to work this thing out.”

“It’s clear that the president wants him gone,” Hewitt observed.

“You’re probably right,” Scaramucci replied. “But I don’t want to speak for the president on that.”

Draining the Swamp, one cock sucker at a time!

I didn't think I'd ever have anything to say in support of Sessions, but, in this case, I hope he says, "I work for the American people and think it best to stay until fired."

I'm just glad to see Sessions ignoring Trump. It's a refreshing change that we need more of.

Except that I don't see him holding out--even though at this point I see no reason why he should be the loyal soldier to a president who is so obviously not loyal to him. Why aren't these people just giving Trump the finger and walking off? He doesn't even pay his vendor bills. What is it that they think they are going to get from him?

Eh, a stint at a high paying job, along with national exposure, whether the publicity is good or bad.

In today's America, that'll probably be enough to get you more paying gigs for quite some time.

Coming from the Trump regime could get you shunned by anything but Fox News forever. Nothing is happening now that ever happened before.

GOP senators begin to question support for Trump after he attacks longtime loyalist Sessions

President Donald Trump’s decision to publicly attack his own attorney general has reportedly made Republican lawmakers question whether Trump is really worth their support.

CNN’s Dana Bash on Tuesday reported that many senators looked at Trump’s attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions and wondered why they should bother voting to proceed on a highly unpopular health care bill without any guarantee that the president wouldn’t throw them under the bus at a later date.

“The president’s treatment of Sessions could be complicating their effort on health care,” said CNN’s John King on Tuesday afternoon, describing Bash’s report. “Their argument, essentially, he’s their former colleague, but also so loyal to Trump, so out there early on Trump’s side, if he treats him his way, doesn’t have his back, publicly humiliates him, why should they take a risky vote for the president expecting he’s going to protect them politically down the road?”

King then pointed out other reporting indicating that the attacks on Sessions have created a “chill” across the entire Trump cabinet, as many members of the administration are realizing that loyalty for Trump is entirely a one-way street.

GOP'ers realizing that Trumpanzy having your back means he's in a position to stick a shive in it!

‘Pissed-off’ Jeff Sessions won’t give ‘insane’ Trump the satisfaction of quitting

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who now seemingly gets insulted by President Donald Trump on a near-daily basis, is reportedly “pissed off” about his situation — but he’s not going to quit anytime soon.

Sources tell the Daily Beast that Sessions is getting fed up with Trump’s regular attacks on his work — including one on Tuesday morning in which the president said his attorney general had taken a “VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes.”

“Sessions is totally pissed off about it,” one ally of the attorney general told the Daily Beast. “It’s beyond insane. It’s cruel and it’s insane and it’s stupid.”

Sessions’ allies also say, however, that the embattled attorney general has no plans to voluntarily resign — instead, he will call Trump’s bluff and essentially dare the president to fire him.

“He’s not going anywhere,” another Sessions ally told the publication. “He is not going to resign. What he is accomplishing is way too important to the country.”

White House purge begins: Press aide resigns after Scaramucci leaks plan to fire him

A White House press aide abruptly resigned Tuesday after President Donald Trump’s new communications director revealed he planned to fire him over leaks.

Michael Short announced his resignation hours after White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told Politico that he planned to fire the press aide, an ally of chief of staff Reince Priebus, reported The Hill.

Scaramucci, whose hiring last week reportedly drove out White House press secretary Sean Spicer, said the firing would be the first of many over leaks — and he then attacked reporters who asked him about the report.

“This is the problem with the leaking,” Scaramucci said. “This is actually a terrible thing. Let’s say I’m firing Michael Short today. The fact that you guys know about it before he does really upsets me as a human being and as a Roman Catholic.”

Short at first said he knew nothing about the firing, but he confirmed his resignation hours later in a text message to The Hill.

“I have resigned, effective immediately,” Short said. “It was a privilege to serve the President of the United States.”

Scaramucci has threatened to “fire everybody” over the profusion of leaks coming out of the White House, and he appears to be targeting loyalists to Spicer, who has already left, and Priebus, whose job has reportedly been in jeopardy since he accepted the position.

So, Mucci leaks that he's going to fire a guy over leaks? He must be a Trumpanzy then, right?

 

[sr71plt]

Yes, I sort of wondered what his definition of a leak was.

Leaking Leakers leak the news!

Trump in phone call: "What would happen if I fired Sessions?"

President Trump, in one of his hallmark rituals, recently called a longtime political associate and asked out of the blue: "What would happen if I fired Sessions?"

Trump has been openly undermining Attorney General Jeff Sessions, yesterday tweeting that he's "beleaguered." Already this morning, POTUS tweeted that Sessions has "taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes."

Remember: This is his own Cabinet member! It's not normal.

Reflecting the conversations going on inside Trumpworld, the political associate says he replied: "If you're going to fire people at Justice, don't you want to save that bullet for Mueller?"

There's speculation in both parties that replacing Sessions could be a prelude to firing the special counsel. Axios broke the news yesterday that Trump was considering bringing back Rudy Giuliani as attorney general. (Rudy swats away the idea, but that didn't stop Trump from floating it.)

Sessions could be gone by Friday?

Schumer to Trump: don't even think about a sneak Sessions move

Chuck Schumer gave a little noticed — but very important — speech on the Senate floor this morning. He said there's no way Senate Democrats will allow President Trump to replace Jeff Sessions during the August recess with a friendlier Attorney General who'd fire Robert Mueller, the Special Counsel who heads the Russia investigation.

Why this matters: Dems have the power to stop the Senate going on recess, which means they can block any plans Trump might have to sneak around the Senate confirmation process and appoint a friendlier AG.

GOP senators begin to question support for Trump after he attacks longtime loyalist Sessions

GOP'ers realizing that Trumpanzy having your back means he's in a position to stick a shive in it!

Maybe some Guppies begin to see that Tromp was never one of them, never did anything but use them, actively hates them, and is doing a great job of destroying their party. Nice work, Don!

 

[sr71plt]

Surely every politician in the Republican Party knew Trump wasn't one of them back a couple of decades. They aren't acting blind because they ever thought Donald Trump was one of them--it's because they put party ahead of country. Some of them certainly are putting party ahead of their voting constituents--probably not of the business interests who own them, though.

These guys that are resigning are nuts. If they wait to get fired they can collect unemployment!!

The demented Keebler Elf knows this is his last shot to realize his lifelong dream of disenfranchising and suppressing the black and brown vote. He's on a mission. He'll perjure hisself to the Supreme Court if he has to, and he don't care about no half-assed Trump.

Trump canceled the CIA's support for anti-Assad forces in Syria and get an Atta-Boy from Tulsi Gabbard!

They're more liking to get a high-paying job by cutting away earlier than later, I would think.

Trump trashes his attorney general yet again: Sessions just wanted to be a part of my big crowds

President Donald Trump has once again openly bashed his Attorney General.

Jeff Sessions was the only Senator to endorse Trump in the primary, but President Trump is no longer giving him credit for his political support, claiming Sessions only endorsed him because of Trump’s crowd sizes.

“When they say he endorsed me, I went to Alabama,” Trump said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “I had 40,000 people.”

“But he was a senator, he looks at 40,000 people and he probably says, ’What do I have to lose?’ And he endorsed me,” Trump explained. “So it’s not like a great loyal thing about the endorsement.”

“I’m very disappointed in Jeff Sessions,” Trump added.

President Trump is also now openly talking of firing Attorney General Sessions, but won’t reveal if he plans to oust him.

“I’m just looking at it,” Trump said when asked why he has criticized Sessions without firing him. “I’ll just see. It’s a very important thing.”

Donald the Dick is a dick! I bet Donald isn't high on Jeff's list of friends list now either.

Here are 5 Republicans willing to set morality and dignity aside ‘to protect their president’

Shortly after arriving at his Sterling, Virginia golf club on Sunday, President Trump lashed out at his own party via Twitter.

“It’s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President,” Trump tweeted.

To recap, Trump’s approval rating six months into his presidency slipped to 36%. Even worse, a majority of Americans (63%) reportedly disapprove of his son Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya in June 2016 at Trump Tower.

But contrary to Trump’s tweet, Republicans on the Hill are far from jumping ship. Here are five who have recently leapt to the president’s defense.

1. Rep Francis Rooney
2. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher
3. Rep. Kevin Cramer
4. Sen. Chuck Grassley
5. Sen. Luther Strange

Not to mention the ones who voted to to end OCare and replace it with ??????

 

[sharingfantasies]

So if Trump says 40,000 does that mean there 400 people there?

We all know he is nuts. But it would be very interesting to see a brain scan for him.

‘Prince of chaos’: Trump colleagues ‘not surprised by anything’ they’re seeing from ‘tabloid’ president

President Donald Trump’s biographers and former employees aren’t surprised by the chaos in the White House, because that’s what the real estate developer and former reality TV star thrives on.

Trump learned early on that chaos kept his opponents off balance and allowed him to maintain some control, and his return from financial ruin in the early 1990s gave him the belief he could conquer anything by following his instincts, reported Politico.

“He’s spent his life creating and surrounding himself with chaos, so that he can be the one person who can emerge in charge — the winner, the guy on the top,” said Barbara Res, a former vice president for Trump Organization. “It’s a way of slaying his enemies.”

Trump ran his campaign the same way he’d operated as a celebrity businessman, careening from crisis to crisis with no regard for possible consequences.

“Chaos creates drama, and drama gets ink,” former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg told the website. “This is a new kind of presidency. He’s followed the tabloid model, and it got him to where he is, and it’s the model that will be followed until it doesn’t work — and it has worked. He’s sitting in the Oval Office.”

Looks like it's working in DC!

Ex-CIA official tells CNN: ‘Start prosecuting the president because he’s the leaker-in-chief’

Former CIA officer Phil Mudd blasted President Donald Trump Wednesday for slinging accusations about government leaks from the intelligence agencies when the president himself has leaked classified information.

During a speech Thursday, Trump said that he wanted Attorney General Jeff Sessions to be tougher on the leaks he’s seeing coming from intelligence agencies.

“First of all, this is a diversion,” Mudd said of the Sessions-Trump feud. “The investigation that the president is trying to undermine at the Department of Justice will go on. He keeps talking about people, but this investigation predates Robert Mueller. There’s a pile of documents, 302 interviews, financial don’ts, phone records that are now in FBI computers. He can try to slowly worm his way into getting Bob Mueller removed, I don’t think that will happen.”

When it comes to the so-called leaks, Mudd called it ironic because Trump is one of the worst offenders of leaking.

“There’s a great irony, this is a president of the United States who talked about Israeli intelligence to the Russians and confirmed that intelligence when he went to Israel,” Mudd said. “A president who tweeted earlier this week about a secret CIA program. If you’re doing late night TV, you can say, I guess we can start prosecuting the president because he’s turned out to be the leaker-in-chief.”

Leaking for Chaos?

Joint Chiefs of Staff tells military no change in trans policy one day after Trump abruptly announces ban

http://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Trump-cnn-debate-chin-768x413.jpg

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that he opposed allowing transgender people to serve in the United States military “in any capacity.”

One day after the president’s surprise announcement, however, the Joint Chiefs of Staff are telling the military that they should not implement any changes to the current transgender policy until they receive more explicit direction from the White House.

“US Joint Chiefs of Staff tells military there will be no modification to transgender policy until direction received from [president],” writes Reuters reporter Idrees Ali.

Trump’s transgender policy announcement caught many in both the military and in Congress by surprise. A report from Politico claimed that the president made a snap decision to announce a ban on trans service members after social conservatives in Congress threatened to withhold funds from his proposed border wall unless he barred them from military service.
