campaign was in on it is a serious national security matter for this country, what s worse? having an attorney general of the united states, a serving attorney general who is up to his neck in that scandal, what s worse, that, or not having that attorney general who is up to his neck in that scandal? i mean, if you re congress and you want to go after the bad actors in this scandal, should you go after jeff sessions or is jeff sessions the one person that you should not go after under any circumstances no matter what he did because he needs to stay in that job. you tell me. t on the inside, i l chronic, widespread pain. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i m glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain.
president shoveling stuff onto the attorney general. and all four times that it s happened, it appeared to be keyed to the russia investigation and the president s anger is focused at least the focus on his criticism is on jeff sessions recusing himself. why isn t he running the russia investigation? if you are concerned about the russia thing, about the trump campaign, contacts with russia during the election while russia was influencing the election, if you re concerned about that, jeff sessions is probably one of the people from the campaign you are concerned about, right? this plea agreement for george papadopoulos that was unsealed this week, in that agreement we now have yet more instances of the attorney general apparently suffering very convenient memory lapses when it comes to him forgetting about contacts that he was definitely in on. obviously he knew about his own meetings with russian officials during the campaign, but he forgot about them under oath. he knew about this
