Watch him come out and announce an investigation into the leaks or something.

 

[DOWN]

He will either double down or recuse

No way they'd allow this fanfare to draw attention to another resignation

 

[Unison]

Yeah, you don't hold a press conference to resign.

 

[sc0la]

I want him to double down. So the inevitable next drip is more damning.

 

[Geist-]

There's a small chance of a resignation. Calling a Press Conference at all just makes him look guilty as fuck, doubling down isn't going to help.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

"It was just locker room talk.

Locker

Room

Talk"

 

[Username1198]

Resigning. Might as well take the long odds.

Long odds is resigning, then snitching on everyone else, then smoking a blunt w/ a minority.

I think he's gonna recuse then hope everything is swept under the rug by his fellow demons I mean republicans.

 

[Syncytia]

Cory Booker making a good point on MSNBC about the excuse that Senators meet with ambassadors all the time:

"If it's so common and normal why did he withhold the information"

 

[Future PhaZe]

He's just going to say that the meeting was such a minor thing that he didn't think it was relevant or worth mentioning.

 

[Prodigal Son]

I think he's going to ban nintendo switch.

Back in my day a console was a console and a handheld was a handheld.

I aint a fan of this race mixin nun

 

[Ernest]

Is he falling on that sword like a champ?

Nah, he wouldn't hold a presser for that. If he were to resign, he'd just do it quietly.
Pressers are for doubling down. He legit feels he's done nothing wrong. Thankfully, that's not up to him.

 

[Dai101]

I did not have relations with the Russians...

 

[NullPointer]

My money's on recusal.

No idea what else might happen.

 

[Makonero]

"it depends on what the definition of "no" is"

 

[thehypocrite]

Or doubling down.


Seeing the Senate split from the White House would make my weekend.

However I expect a delaying bullshit "I was being a senator not a campaigning dude" nonsense.


There's a possibility enough is enough and Ryan and co have just said, fall on your sword today.

Preparing the popcorn.

 

[ZeezbruhTV]

Sounds like double down I didn't do nuthin.

 

[Nafai1123]

My money's on recusal.

No idea what else might happen.

At this point it's the best move he can make I think. GOP will praise him and claim "see, we're getting a fair investigation" while glossing over the fact that he lied, under oath, for....what reason again?

 

[Emerson]

I predict recusal in the hope of avoiding further punishment, which may succeed.

 

[Brandon F]

I think he's going to ban nintendo switch.

He is going to create an investigative task force surrounding the missing eShop music.

 

[Aselith]

My money is on self immolation while he screams "this is Trump's America!" and chokes a goat.

 

[BronsonLee]

He's gonna eat a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild (Master Edition) For Nintendo Switch, Available No

Spoiler

where

 

[toddhunter]

Recuse, resign, double down.

There is also the classic "deflect". Anybody check if fox news has ran a story on say, Spain?

The final option is "spill the beans", that would be glorious but no.

I vote for deflect, talk about some completely unrelated bullshit and pretend nothing happened.

 

[Swass]

I'm with you, no way he is calling a press conference to continue to deny, it'll just stir up the bees nest even more..

 

[Nekofrog]

In before he blames it all on a vast left wing conspiracy led by reefer addicted black people.

Real patriotic Americans are coming after you, you racist twat

[gutterboy44]

I think he doubles down. He is a load bearing turd in Trumps shit pile. They need to keep him and just keep pressing the wiggle room of the question and claim it was only light perjury.

Don't forget the highly unlikely Sessions Redemption Arc where he leads the crusade against Trump.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

BREAKING

He resigns. He made Trump look bad.

 

[LifEndz]

Lying to the senate under oath. Jeff Sessions, a former prosecutor, would be leading the charge against Jeff Sessions right now.

Corey Booker laying it down!

 

[Jams775]

 

[Ravager61]

Yeah, I'm going with double down. Trump's statement almost confirms that.

 

[Netherscourge]

In January, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) asked Sessions for answers to written questions. “Several of the President-elect’s nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?” Leahy wrote.

Sessions responded with one word: “No.”

That part is what Sessions will use to skip any charges.

 

[jelly]

He is the least perjury'd guy I know.

 

[More_Badass]

Dont forget the Obama shadow government/it's all character assassination angle

 

[megalowho]

He's just going to say that the meeting was such a minor thing that he didn't think it was relevant or worth mentioning.

Definitely. It's my job as Senator, fake news, etc. WH won't allow their man to look weak here and there's not enough heat yet to cut and run.

^ So fucking true.

Corey Booker laying it down!

A vince mcmahon story if I ever heard one. The cross examination would be great if it was a skit where he had to play both roles seriously, a hard ass prosecutor grilling himself under oath.

 

[KHarvey16]

That part is what Sessions will use to skip any charges.

His office stated they did discuss the election.

And in oral testimony he flatly lied under oath by claiming he did not speak to the Russians at all under any context.

 

[Future PhaZe]

That part is what Sessions will use to skip any charges.

yup

 

[plagiarize]

Like I said, the only thing that tripped up Flynn was lying to Trump and cohorts. They don't care who else he lied to. They don't care that he spoke to Russia and if he was supposed to.

If he told the administration the truth about this, they won't get rid of him.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

My money is on self immolation while he screams "this is Trump's America!" and chokes a goat.

Then a marginally talented rock group can write a song about it, and that song can go on to confuse the public into thinking it's about sports, leading to the song being played at stadiums around the country.

 

[Nafai1123]

That part is what Sessions will use to skip any charges.

He can try, but it still doesn't explain his verbal comments under oath in which he explicitly stated he was part of the campaign and did not communicate with Russia.

 

[Duxxy3]

I'm willing to bet he doubles down.

 

[mnannola]

Me trying to actually accomplish work with all the crazy news every few hours for the past few weeks:

haha this is perfect

Just got this from PoliGAF:

Adam Entous‏ @adamentous

We reached all 26 members of the 2016 Armed Services Committee to see who met with Russian envoy Kislyak in 2016. Sessions was the only one.
2:55 PM · Mar 2, 2017

 

[Ravager61]

I know most of GAF think's this account is fake. Let's see if the account gets it right.

https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/837403644190420992

It's time for a recusal.

 

[Common Knowledge]

Just got this from PoliGAF:

Would that make Sessions look worse?

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Honestly hoping for an accident on stage.

I'll say no more than that.
