Jeff Sessions Fired Out The Cannon!

The big eared bastard Jeff Sessions is fired out the cannon. Donald Trump fired his top cop.

Democrats didn't ride a Blue Wave. There was no tsunami. More like a half-pint. The House of Representatives will go back to the Democrats. The Senate is still in Republican control. The Senate will continue to confirm nominees and federal judges. The Supreme Court will likely be conservative for a generation. There isn't a candidate with the fire to rile up Democratic voters. The white vote is probably lost forever. The Democrats failed at chipping away uneducated whites.

It seems like Donald J. Trump has finally decided to fire the top cop. This firing could impact the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 and 2018 U.S. Elections. Obviously, we all knew that Russian meddling had once again played a role in the election. Because the writing is on the wall.

Jefferson Beauregard sessions aka Magoo has been formally fired out the cannon right after the Midterm elections.

"At your request I am submitting my resignation," Sessions wrote in a letter to White House chief of staff John Kelly.

Matthew Whitaker will take over as acting attorney general, the President said.

Whitaker is expected to take charge of the Russia investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Whitaker has been openly critical of Mueller and the investigation and Democrats immediately called on him to recuse himself, just as Sessions had.

The move is an abrupt end to what had been a tumultuous tenure for Sessions, originally one of Trump's earliest and most loyal surrogates as an Alabama Republican senator. He was a key figure in implementing Trump's vision for America and significantly rolled back Obama-era policies on immigration, police reform and civil rights.

The former Alabama senator was the first lawmaker to endorse Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. He was a crucial voice in helping Trump secure the South.

We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well....

....We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well! A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date.

Sessions who is a former lawyer himself kindly took on the job of being Attorney General of the United States. During his two years as AG, he took on drug trafficking, child pornography, Backpage and domestic terrorism.

Sessions had recused himself right after confirmation when he was accused of lying under oath, saying he never met any Russian diplomats.

When Sessions recused himself, it activated a Special Counsel to investigate claims of Russian meddling. Sessions and Rod Rosenstein appointed former FBI director Robert Mueller as lead investigator and it netted a handful of individuals and companies involved in tampering with votes.

It is getting closer to Trump's ties to the Russian government. Every time it gets close to Trump, the imbecile launches attacks on the investigation, sics Fox News on Mueller and tries his best to bring up Hillary Clinton.

Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to multiple counts of campaign finance violations, tax fraud and bank fraud and Trump's former campaign chair Paul Manafort was found guilty of eight charges including tax fraud and bank fraud.

Sessions was aware that Cohen was facing bank fraud and tax violations but had been walled off from the campaign finance aspects of the investigation into Trump's former lawyer, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told CNN.

Trump's distaste for Sessions was well known -- and publicly reinforced by the Trump himself on a regular basis -- after the attorney general recused himself from all matters related to the 2016 campaign early in Trump's term.

Trump mocked Sessions in August as "scared stiff and Missing in Action."

Later the same month as Trump continued to rail against him, Sessions issued a statement firing back at Trump and declaring, "While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. I demand the highest standards, and where they are not met, I take action."

Trump's cannon firing of Sessions will automatically pit the Democrats against him. The Mueller investigation is active and Trump is trying his hardest to scrap it.

With 2020 looming in the distance, Democrats need to shift their focus from Russian probes to economic issues. We have to stay the course and hope that Trump will destroy himself.
