I am loving this move and am expecting more AGs will be joining them in demanding this worthless acting Session’s replacement to recuse himself in the Russia investigation.
But I’m betting he doesn’t know what that means, though.
I like this, but realistically it should be tilted “18 Attorneys General Pee into Wind.”
I think it’s growing evident that, far from some sort of coordinated post-midterm strategy, firing Sessions was a fit of presidential pique, driven by the dotard’s extreme embarrassment and shame from his inept clownshow press conference, and that everything since has been a mad scramble by helpless/hapless aides to hang some sort of lampshade on it.
Actually, this video was doctored to show less AG’s involved than actual.
