he did provide evidence of Trump’s guilt,

No he didn’t.

Page 2 of the Mueller Report. (Keep wanting to call it the Trump Report.)

The report describes actions and events that the Special Counsel’s Office found to be
supp01ted by the evidence collected in our investigation. In some instances, the report points out
the absence of evidence or conflicts in the evidence about a particular fact or event. In other
instances, when substantial, credible evidence enabled the Office to reach a conclusion with
confidence, the report states that the investigation established that certain actions or events
occurred. A statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there
was no evidence of those facts.

That’s not evidence, it’s a bumper sticker from a law school.

I’m sure the CEC thinks so.

I watch Lester Holt. I suggest you ignore pundits.

Where’s Sessions?

[Tangible08]

like what?

@Tangible08

Where’s Sessions?

He resigned at President Trump’s request. For not obstructing justice.

[Tangible08]

Oh ok, he was politely fired. Gotcha.

@Tangible08

To obstruct justice after he recused?

[Tangible08]

He fired Sessions because Sessions didn’t protect him.

Citing interviews with Sessions and his chief of staff at the time, Jody Hunt, Mueller wrote the president asked Sessions to resign for failing to “protect” him.

He then installs someone who would protect him: Barr.

Did Mueller get that from Trump?

@WuWei

Did Mueller get that from Trump?

From the Mueller report:

Within hours of the President’s meeting with Lewandowski on July 19, 2017, the President
gave an unplanned interview to the New York Times in which he criticized Sessions’s decision to
recuse from the Russia investigation. The President said that “Sessions should have never
recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the
job, and I would have picked somebody else.”

According to Hunt, who took contemporaneous notes of the July 21 call, Hunt told Priebus that, as they had previously discussed, Sessions had no intention of resigning.

while aboard Marine One on the way to Norfolk, Virginia, the President told Priebus that he had to get Sessions to resign immediately.

According to Hunt, in light of the President’s frequent public attacks, Sessions prepared another resignation letter and for the rest of the year carried it with him in his pocket every time he went to the White House.

Trump was trying to install someone who would look out for him in regards to the Russia investigation. When Sessions recused himself, he had to go.

So no.
Ok, so what?

[Tangible08]

@WuWei

So no.
Ok, so what?

This whole tangent of our conversation relies on my initial statement of it not mattering if the DOJ’s position is constitutional if Trump can hire and fire the AG. I showed how Trump hired and fired in order to install someone who would protect him… Case Closed.

You are assuming intent.

[Tangible08]

@WuWei

You are assuming intent.

Trump’s own words and the testimony of his staff point to intent.

I like being able to read what he’s thinking.
