It looks like they are really going for that impeachment.......:ohhh:


This is the thing. On domestic policy, as disgusting the choices they've made - at the end of the day, it's essentially implementing the right wing/tea party style platform. At least the shyt they're doing on the domestic front all are things that their party has said they want to implement. Cutting/gutting the EPA, State Dept., medicaid - as terrible as that sounds, it's all within the confines of political discourse as we have experienced it over the last 20 years.

But the foreign policy moves that Trump is making - there is literally no other reasonable/rational explanation for them, IF you are supposedly working on behalf of the US interests. These decisions ONLY make sense within the context of wanting closer ties with the Russians.

sessions was a US attorney at the time (no different than these recent US attorneys fired by trump), not FBI director.
My bad

edit:

William S. Sessions - Wikipedia

Sessions was FBI director during the controversial 1992 confrontation at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, at which the unarmed Vicky Weaver and her son were shot dead by an FBI sniper. This incident provoked heavy criticism of the Bureau, as did the deadly assault on the Branch Davidian compound which lasted from February 28 to April 19, 1993. These incidents were also related to the discovery of severe procedural shortcomings at the FBI's crime laboratory.

Just before Bill Clinton was inaugurated as the 42nd President of the United States on January 20, 1993, allegations of ethical improprieties were made against Sessions. A report by outgoing Attorney General William P. Barr presented to the Justice Department that month by the Office of Professional Responsibility included criticisms that he had used an FBI plane to travel to visit his daughter on several occasions, and had a security system installed in his home at government expense.[5] Janet Reno, the 78th Attorney General of the United States, announced that Sessions had exhibited "serious deficiencies in judgment."[6]

Although Sessions denied that he had acted improperly, he was pressured to resign in early July, with some suggesting that President Clinton was giving Sessions the chance to step down in a dignified manner. Sessions refused, saying that he had done nothing wrong, and insisted on staying in office until his successor was confirmed. As a result, President Clinton dismissed Sessions on July 19, 1993. Sessions was five and a half years into a ten-year term as FBI director; however, the holder of this post serves at the pleasure of the President.[7]

Clinton nominated Louis Freeh to the FBI directorship at a Rose Garden ceremony on July 20. Then-FBI Deputy Director Floyd I. Clarke, whom Sessions suggested had led a coup to force his removal, served as Acting Director until September 1, 1993 when Freeh was sworn in.[6]

Sessions returned to Texas where on December 7, 1999 he was named the state chair of Texas Exile, a statewide initiative aimed at reducing gun crime.

Most of what he said are akin to buzz words.

His line of questioning seemed more like a display of his "knowledge" more so than a legit line of questions.
Posturing. Common to see at least one congressman pull that shyt during committee hearings with experts.
