Wait.....I thought @NancyPelosi voted against Sessions & couldn't stand him.......now she's mad he's gone???

Pelosi is the House of Representatives, the Senate votes to confirm cabinet appointees. How and when could she have had a chance to vote for or against Sessions? You’re not making sense with your comment.
I stand corrected. I should have said..."I thought all Dems WERE against Sessions." Because of things they said during his confirmation. My point is....this is y I can't stand EITHER party, because of inconsistency.
I have no idea why ppl would vote for Pelosi.....
Because @TeamPelosi is a fierce defender of healthcare, education and civil rights.
I have no idea why someone so ill informed would bother commenting.
Obstruction of Justice.
Jeff was, wasn't he.
Just a small footnote here: the justice department is part of the executive branch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice …
Very true. That means Congress is going to have to step up if Whitaker refuses to act when given the Mueller Report. Do you think Mueller has no back-up plan when dealing with an idiot like trump?
I don’t claim to be a law scholar, but I thought impeachment by the Congress was the only way to levy charges on a president.
Well do something about it PEOPLE. You must have some kind of power or Law. This man needs to be stoped before we reach a place of no return.pic.twitter.com/M43TV3hoex
The executive branch should not be investigating the executive. The house should do it and if they find crimes committed by Trump they should impeach him and have him tried in the senate. good luck with that.
Two years and counting!
The institutional corruption of the DOJ/FBI under Obama has been shielded by both the mainstream press and the Democrat party allowing illegality in government to stand as a testament to the malfeasance of the Democrat party undermining justice in America at the highest levels.
