Next, the big difference between Sessions and Rosenstein is that Sessions was a member of the campaign who met with Russian officials numerous times during the period under investigation and who could conceivably become a subject of the investigation, while Rosenstein was a witness to various words and actions during events of interest to the investigators, but only incidentally, just as anyone might witness a car accident without having any connection to the drivers of the vehicles, and the police might take a statement from them without their being under suspicion.― A is for (Aimless), Tuesday, June 5, 2018 7:04 PM (one hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

xp It's cheap irony, good for a momentary amusement. Now, if he'd forgotten to wear his American flag lapel pin, I'm sure conservatives everywhere would be blasting him for his lack of patriotism, but this is entirely different.

should've voted for Jill Stein:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has canceled the Senate’s normal month-long August recess, with a promise to push through the confirmations of more of President Trump’s nominees.
“Due to the historic obstruction by Senate Democrats of the president’s nominees, and the goal of passing appropriations bills prior to the end of the fiscal year, the August recess has been canceled. Senators should expect to remain in session in August to pass legislation, including appropriations bills, and to make additional progress on the president’s nominees,” McConnell said in a statement.

The draft of Horowitz's wide-ranging report specifically called out Comey for ignoring objections from the Justice Department when he disclosed in a letter to Congress just days before the 2016 presidential election that FBI agents had reopened the Clinton probe, according to sources. Clinton has said that letter doomed her campaign.Horowitz's draft report cited Comey for failing to consult with Lynch and other senior Justice Department officials before making his announcement on national TV. While saying there was no "clear evidence" that Clinton "intended to violate" the law, Comey insisted the former secretary of state was "extremely careless" in her "handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.""I have not coordinated or reviewed this statement in any way with the Department of Justice or any other part of the government. They do not know what I am about to say," Comey said before cameras on July 5, 2016.
