Christie was offered AG before and turned it down. Trump has apparently offered him a number of random jobs, like Labor Sec, all of which he turned down.
Christie just really wants to get on the sports talk radio circuit, I guess

This is so accurate it hurts

I called both of my NC senators to ask if they will put country before party, and appoint an independent special prosecutor to investigate Trump ties with Russia. Felt so darn good.
I hope everyone here takes the action to swarm these Republicans (and Dems) to pick sides between potential treason, or siding with Americans in wanting answers. With this Sessions debacle, it is our chance to pit them against that wall.

Real polotical theater happened on Tuesday night when our President exploited Owens' wife and senseless death for his own gains.

I hate my senator!! I really hope he gets replaced soon. Just looking at Cruz's face I cringe.

Or Christie doesn't want to get tied to this admin

General Holder contains Private Folder. Private Folder is full of porn.
Any source he was offered AG? I always got the impression that would be Sessions or Rudy from the beginning.
I feel like Christie would have taken only VP or AG
This is like a movie. Plot twist!

I need to amend my Transformers character match of the current administration.
Trump - Definitely Megatron
Pence - Soundwave (used to say Shockwave, but whatever)
Bannon - Shockwave
Cruz - Still Starscream
Edit: Glad to see someone else feels this way too

It's a shame he's up for reelection next year instead of 2020. In 4 years time I think demographic changes will give a strong Democratic candidate a decent chance of winning. So unfortunately I think Texas will be stuck with Cruz for a while longer. Cornyn though? He's going to be feeling the heat come 2020 if a strong candidate runs against him.

Does this mean that Obama is Optimus Prime?
You think that Democrats will be competitive in Texas in 2020? Are the demographics really changing that fast?
What did he mean by this?

Hillary lost by under 10%. Compare that to either of Obama's - it was something like a 6 or 7 point swing blue compared to 2012.
The popular vote lead didn't just come from California. A huge chunk of it came from Texas.

The difference between the presidential vote talley will likely be less than 5 percent in 2020. So yes I think a strong Democratic candidate for Senate will have a chance in 2020.

I can't.
She could have meant as a member of the armed services committee. Adoption thing would have nothing to do with ASC.
but still

The first tweet is obviously "no meeting as a member of the Armed Services Committee," which is Sessions' entire defense
Meeting as just a Senator specifically re: adoption is totally different, especially when she is transparent about it

That wasn't because of democrats.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Was just going to say this - possibly the older tweet is just a general senator meeting.
Will have to wait and see, though.

That's why I prefer the argument that you can't just take off your surrogate hat and put on your senator hat for the meeting, and then claim that surrogate Sessions never technically met with them.
It's a clear lie either way, and why would he lie about it under oath if nothing's there?
Same thing with Flynn. Meeting with foriegn ambassadors isn't unusual for people like him either, but what he talked about and lying about it certainly was. Only difference here is we don't know what Sessions talked about with the russians.
Solely because of Democrats? No. But part of raising the heat on an administration in times of scandal is raising a lot of voices in the White House's direction: from the media, from the handful of Republicans willing to break ranks, and from the Democrats.

Wasn't that regarding the ban on American citizens adopting Russian children that they instituted that year? I'm pretty sure a lot of US senators would be involved in that and not in relation to being a member of the armed services committee.

Her along with 10 other Senators on the record vs. 1 on 1, in an office, and no official record of what conversations were had
And shes obviously referring to her role in the Armed Services committee, which Sessions is trying to cloak himself with.

So much for the Republican alternative point of view.
Party over country above all else. GOP may as well be the Kremlin. Or really should rebrand themselves as the Confederacy.

But Shockwave prefers order and logic, doesn't really fit Bannon.

Highlights how easily Sessions could wiggle out. Ultimately I don't think he resigns unless they catch him in another lie (did they meet at the RNC?). Forcing him to recuse for any upcoming investigations is still a huge thing, and likely the intent of this leak.
That is the point though. That as a committee member you have no reason to meet with them and any meeting would have a different subject.
Oh my god please let this happen. The Castros have been good to SA (except when Julian bailed to go work for Barry O, but I understand why he had to take the opportunity)
They've still got him lying to Congress.
I looked this guy up and was like, I could've sworn his name was Julian, not Joaquin. Damn twins!
