What's weird to me, if Trump knows Sessions worked with the Russians, why would Trump throw him under the bus in interviews? Wouldn't he be worried Sessions can strike back with oppo?

Nothing ever makes sense in TrumpWorld.

An arrogant narcissist thinks no one will ever betray him. How could they when he's so wonderful?

You think Trump's team properly vetted Sessions or considered the ramifications of his involvement in the campaign?

WSJ: Jared Kushner Discloses Dozens More Assets in Revised Financial Filing
WASHINGTON— Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and a senior White House adviser, on Friday released a revised version of his personal financial disclosure showing his initial filing omitted dozens of assets, including commercial real estate, bonds issued by the New York water and sewer authority, a personal art collection and a New Jersey liquor license.

According to the disclosure, 77 assets were “inadvertently omitted” from Mr. Kushner’s earlier form and were added during what the form’s footnotes describe as the “ordinary review” process with the government ethics office. The updated form also provides additional information about 77 other assets, offering more detail about the structure of Mr. Kushner’s real estate assets. Mr. Kushner’s initial disclosure, released in March, hadn’t then been certified by the Office of Government Ethics.

Ivanka Trump, who is the president’s daughter, a senior White House aide and Mr. Kushner’s wife, also disclosed her finances for the first time on Friday, including some details that had been previously disclosed on her husband’s form. Ms. Trump didn’t become an official White House employee until late March, so she had later deadlines. Her form hasn’t yet been certified by the ethics office, as required by law.

“Jared and Ivanka have followed each of the required steps in their transition from private citizens to federal officials,” Jamie Gorelick, a lawyer for the couple, said in a statement.

The new disclosure shows Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump collectively hold between $206 million and $760 million in assets. Mr. Kushner’s initial disclosure put the value of their assets between $240 million and $740 million. The changes in values may reflect divestments since the last filing and the broad range of valuation for assets.

and I didn't hear about this bit:
Walter Shaub, who resigned as Office of Government Ethics director earlier this month after clashing repeatedly with the White House and who has called for overhauling federal ethics rules, on Friday criticized the White House for installing the agency’s general counsel, David Apol, as acting head of the agency.

Protocol calls for the post to automatically go to the agency’s chief of staff until the president officially appoints a new director. Mr. Shaub said Friday said the move suggested the White House “may be hoping to engineer looser oversight.”


The ethics office and the White House didn’t respond to requests for comment on Mr. Shaub’s complaint.

Why would Trump fire Comey? Trump is driven by impulse - he doesn't think of the long-term consequences.
 
Mooch like that sleazy guy at a wine bar who hits on wives in front of their husbands.

Also Sessions is fuuuuuuuuuuuucked. If he had any sense he would step down.

Politico EU: French Leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon investigated for fraud

French leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon is being investigated for allegedly paying assistants with European Parliament money, the same charge leveled at Marine Le Pen, Le Parisien reported Tuesday.

According to the report, Mélenchon, who was an MEP from 2009 until being elected to the national parliament last month, is accused of having paid four of his former parliamentary assistants with EU money while they were carrying out working for his national party. Mélenchon, leader of the far-left movement France Unbowed, denies any wrongdoing.

The Paris prosecutor opened a preliminary investigation into “breach of trust” by 19 MEPs in March. On that list was former MEP Marielle de Sarnez, who resigned from her post as France’s EU affairs minister after just a month in office.


Looks like French Bernie Sanders might be in trouble with the law as well

The Mooch looks like the worse kind of slick, fast talker. The fact that he is already pretending he "loves" Trump shows how clearly disingenuous and groveling he is. He's telling Trump exactly what he wants to hear with no sense of reality or ethics. In other words, he's perfect for this administration.

Sounds a awful lot like Conway.. right down to the trashing Trump before joining the campaign.

This is what? Time #3 Sessions has been caught in a blatant lie, and time #2 that lie was under oath?

He should be out because he should have been out long ago. But he won't be out because he should have been out long ago.

If this leak was from Trump so that Sessions resigns and get can appoint an AG that would fire Mueller, that wouldn't be good.

1) LOL at Sessions being caught perjuring himself again.

!! Senate intel chair Burr (R) knocks Devin Nunes:

"The unmasking thing was all created by Devin Nunes."

I missed this earlier--Burr throwing Nunes under the bus for the unmasking garbage. Amazing.

If this leak was from Trump so that Sessions resigns and get can appoint an AG that would fire Mueller, that wouldn't be good.

And now my joy is gone.

That would be spectacularly stupid for Trump to do. It just brings more Russia heat on himself. Any new AG would have to be approved by the Senate. If he wanted Mueller gone he would be better served firing Rosenstein.
 
The info dumps on Flynn didn't stop after he resigned. What does Sessions have to gain by resigning?

You say that as though it would be his choice. Trump already wants him gone and whatever cover he had in the Senate will start to flounder if all this proves out. Even if it was his choice - what does he have to gain by staying in the limelight? Other than fucking over people of color that is which is a given.

I don't doubt that he'd be fired necessarily. I just don't see him resigning.

Just showed the Post/Sessions piece to Rep. Adam Schiff. He blanched, his eyes widened, and he said he couldn't comment.

Schiff getting overwhelmed with scoops.
 
Dems don't expect state specific kickbacks to survive the parliamentarian either. Sorry, Lisa.

Any predictions for Mueller?

I say Trump has a new AG fire him before September.

Generally speaking, Trump has been forced to go with relatively sane, qualified people when his original choices have failed, if only for political expediency. It's why it hurt so much that the 'moderate darlings' fell in line on some of his Cabinet positions. They could have easily forced him to pick more agreeable people.

People think Trump is playing 4D chess. In a sense he is.

It's just not 4D in the sense of 4D space. The 4D likely means.

Losing sessions means losing the racist pushing all your drug and immigration policy. Then you fire Mueller which starts a shitstorm of epic proportions. This is a good plan for them how?
