WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona is condemning President Donald Trump’s attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, calling them a “travesty.”
Flake, a vocal Trump critic, said Wednesday from the Senate floor that Trump has been “relentlessly slandering” Sessions. He warned that Trump seems headed for “some future assault” on the justice system, perhaps by firing Sessions or special counsel Robert Mueller. He urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to hold a vote on legislation to protect Mueller’s investigation.
Trump in a recent tweet suggested that Sessions should not have brought criminal charges against two Republican congressmen. He said “two easy wins” in the election were “now in doubt.”
Flake says Congress has “the responsibility to curb such reckless behavior” from Trump and appealed to lawmakers to speak out.

Which is worse this or Flake relentlessly approving of Trump
Flake, if you’re not part of the solution you are part of the problem… WHO cares what you say Talk is cheap, let’s see some action
If only we had a form of government with co-equal branches, put in place to keep each other in check…

[/quote]Like vote against a Supreme Court nominee who believes in absolute (Republican) presidential power so Trump and others like him can do whatever they want with no oversight, no accountability and no consequences?
Sort of like it is now?
Fuck you. Caucus with the Democrats to bring this hell to an end, or STFU.
Yes! Slander is bad! Assaults on the justice system are bad! Cruelty to animals is bad! Those thin nasty omelets with watery canned mushrooms they serve in chain restaurants are bad! Those omelets are a travesty! There I said it!
