Jeff Sessions just wrote letter in which he discusses his required-by-law recusal in March of 2017.

Here's the end of Session's thread.

Thread of my own incoming. https://twitter.com/jeffsessions/status/1260186191795826692?s=20
Before I discuss why Sessions had to recuse himself and why people who think he could have or should have UN-recused himself, I want to discuss somebody else.

It may look like I'm going off on a tangent, but I'm not.

I want to talk about.... @DevinNunes.
What's the question nobody asks about Devin Nunes?

Devin Nunes knows about a LOT of classified stuff that he won't leak.

He could have helped himself IMMENSELY when he was being INVESTIGATED & FORCED TO STEP DOWN as HPSCI chairman if he'd leaked SpyGate stuff, right?
Why did Devin Nunes stay silent & not leak a thing about what he **knew** the DOJ IG Michael Horowitz was going to find and reveal when his FISA abuse report was rolled out publicly?

Why didn't Nunes HELP HIMSELF by leaking classified documents?

Anybody know?
Well I already know the answer to this question.

So I'll TELL YOU why @DevinNunes didn't HELP HIMSELF with PUBLIC OPINION and try to mount a defense IN THE MEDIA by doing SELECTIVE LEAKS of classified information like some weird bug-eyed I could name right now but won't.
The fact is, Devin Nunes didn't help himself for almost 3 full years by leaking classified information because he has PERSONAL INTEGRITY THAT IS UNSHAKABLE LIKE ROCK.

He would NOT break the law, no matter WHAT the cost to himself personally would be.

Got that?
So Devin Nunes sat there and listens for years to this bug-eyed vile creature spouting his lies knowing the entire time Schiff is leaking to the media to drive fake narratives in the press.

And the entire time Nunes refuses to leak himself because IT WOULD BE WRONG.
Here's something ELSE Nunes has refused to leak for over 3 1/2 yrs now since that March press conference in 2017 that blew the lid off of SpyGate.

He knows **which** particular members of the Trump transition team were illegally spied on and unmasked.

He NEVER leaked it.
After Nunes held that March 2017 press conference, Schiff forced Nunes to step down as HPSCI chairman while he was INVESTIGATED for publicly discussing the unmasked intel intercepts of the Trump transition team that he was shown.

In other words, he was investigated for a LEAK.
What did the investigation determine?

It determined that Nunes did NOTHING WRONG and he was restored to the chair of the committee.

It couldn't have been a leak of classified information then.

Because we all know thank to Gen. Petraeus what a bad thing that'd be, right?
Nunes KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT from that point on.

He didn't call any press conferences and he didn't discuss on or off the record any classified information.

He FOLLOWED THE LAW.

People tell me this is why the guy is a PATRIOT.

I agree.

100%.
A patriot with the patience of Job who had to wait 3+ years for the law to be followed, the investigations to be finished, and the evidence to vindicate him to come out LEGALLY so he could use.

And the entire time bugs eyes sitting next to him is playing the OTHER game.
One followed the law and kept his mouth SHUT and refused to leak - even to help himself! - while he waited to be vindicated.

Meanwhile the other guy is frantically leaking like a sieve & giving countless interviews in which he repeatedly lies his ass off to the public.
Yep.

@DevinNunes is a patriot.

So we all agree on that, right?

Guy kept his mouth shut all this time, wouldn't even do one defensive leak to try to stop relentless media attacks.

Great!

Now let's talk about who ELSE did exactly that:

Jeff Sessions.
WHY do you suppose Jeff Sessions **waited** until news broke of ODNI @RichardGrenell going to the Dept. of Justice to hand off newly declassified documents related to the **illegal unmasking of Trump transition/administration people** to suddenly write this letter?
There **TWO** absurd things you're being told right now.

1) Sessions should NEVER have recused himself

and

2) Sessions could have 'un-recused' himself after he was cleared of being a Russian agent

Both claims are wrong.
What have I said for 3 1/2 years now, in direct contrast to many Conservative pundits who believe Trump & Co. wandered their way into the White House in Jan. 2017 without a clue or a plan to counter their being spied on & traps all around them laid by federal saboteurs?
The very EARLIEST you can say Trump was tipped off to illegal surveillance of his campaign is the Mike Rogers visit to Trump Tower in late November of 2016, the very day Trump suddenly decided to up and move his entire transition team to Bedminster.
But understand: the **cover story** that Trump & Sessions and everybody else on that transition was **COMPLETELY UNAWARE** their electronic comms [EC'S] were being intercepted & unmasked was useful.

And they may NEVER admit it is a cover story.
In his letter Sessions is saying he didn't find out Comey was investigating [read: spying] on the incoming Trump administration until after he was already Attorney General.

That is a cover story. Sessions, like Trump & everyone else else involved, had no illusions going in.
BUT HERE IS WHAT SESSIONS IS SAYING:

"**After** I wandered into that AG's office and took the oath, only THEN did I discover the FBI was investigating me & many other Trump people for supposedly being Russian agents."

According to the LAW, what does Sessions have to do now?
You think Sessions will admit at this point they laid a trap for the trappers? He set up the spies trying to spy on him with his own spies?

Of course not.

He's sticking to the cover story.

"I discovered much to my horror that I was being investigated for Russian collusion."
Now **the law** is clear.

Sessions can't be in charge of people who had opened a counterintelligence investigation into his being a supposed Russian agent **before** he assumed the AG job and got oversight of them.

That is a direct conflict of interest.
Now, you can sit there all day and say "But I don't **agree** with the law!"

Awesome!

What does that change?

Well nothing really, but hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Sessions....cannot...have...oversight...and...authority...over...people...investigating...him.

So he's telling you THE TRUTH.

You may not like it. Maybe you don't what to hear it, but it's the truth.

Trump & Co. played the plotter's game with them.
They **acted** like they wandered into DC into their respective offices, Trump in WH, Sessions in DOJ, Pompeo at CIA, etc. without having a CLUE they were all under surveillance & being investigated as Russian agents.
That's not just Trump who knows what's up. SESSIONS knows what's up.

But Sessions plays this role perfectly.

"Wow, people I'm now in charge of here at the DOJ/FBI have been investigating me & spying on me for months, you say? For being a Russian agent? Wow."
"Well my goodness folks, the law is clear. I can't be in charge of supervising any of the people running these Russian investigations that were already started when I got this job.

Especially since as part of their investigation, they have been spying on me.".
So people who tell you Sessions should have **immediately fired Comey** and everybody else & shut it all down right then in March of 2017 are blowing smoke up your ass.

That's not how you catch these people and build an airtight case against them.
Sessions follows the law and recuses himself.

That was on March 2, 2017.

It immediately becomes clear that WHOEVER STEPS INTO THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL job would be the person overseeing the Russia-related investigations.

The person **already nominated for that job**?
This guy.

Rod J. Rosenstein.
Remember your timeline. The **latest** Trump gets tipped off that federal agents are SPYING on all his transition team is mid-November 2016.

RR is nominated to the DAG post on Feb 2.
Sessions recuses on March 2.
RR is confirmed as DAG on April 25
But **the narrative** you're told to go with is that clueless Trump & Co., still not realizing what was happening, still having not a clue what they faced, handed the all important DAG job to a literal snake.
So that **looks** like two HUGE WINS for Team RussiaGate early on, doesn't it?

They get Sessions to recuse, because they were SPYING on him for being a 'Russian agent', and they get RR dropped into the DOJ in late April.

Well do yourself a favor.

Explore an alternative.
A guy they can't spy on replaces the guy they WERE spying on.

And it just so happens, the new guy dropped into their midst, what's the first 2 things he does?

He fires Comey & wrests control of the Russian investigations away from McCabe.
He then appoints Robert Mueller to be the Special Counsel, who will end up proving as RR carefully gives him the super duper widest scope ever, that there NEVER WAS ANY EVIDENCE OF RUSSIAN COLLUSION.
But that's not all Rosenstein does.

Everything these SpyGate plotters were HIDING from the Inspector General, RR begins HANDING IT OVER TO HIM.

Then RR OK's the public release of much of this information, including the Strzok/Page texts in Dec. of 2017.
Sessions is over there in a corner. Spying on SESSIONS is useless because this DIFFERENT GUY is now in charge.

But at least he gave them MUELLER, right?

At least he let Mueller hire all those angry Democrats, right?

At least he let them look wherever they wanted, right?
Funny how nobody asks this question:

At least he let them prove there was never any evidence of Russian collusion, right?

Because as I have been laboring to demonstrate to brain washed people for over a year now, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MULLER'S **BIGGEST** ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS.
Whatever Mueller & Weissmann & the rest of those bloodthirsty cretins **THOUGHT** their wonderful Special Counsel team was going to do, when the rubber meets the road, what was the big result of the Mueller final report?

RussiaGate was a HOAX.

Bob Mueller **proved** this.
Now, did he **WANT** to prove that? Of course he didn't.

Neither Mueller or anybody on that 'dream team' he assembled would have ever believed all they had at the end of the show was a bunch of big fat nothing on election collusion or Russian agents.
Sessions recused so they could bring in a ringer to spy on the SpyGate plotters.

Now understand me here: I **know** people will not accept this until Rosenstein shows up at the trials of the SpyGate plotters not as a DEFENDANT but as WITNESS.
People regale me with tales about how Sessions and Barr or whoever got Rosenstein to 'flip' and become Trump's counterspy on the plotters.

There's just ONE PROBLEM with this theory.

Barr says this **isn't true**.

And he said this UNDER OATH in front of CONGRESS on TV.
No matter HOW many times I tell people this, the brain washing runs too deep. They literally can't process it.

Rosenstein was sent in there to spy on and gather evidence against the people working under him on these Russia related investigations.

Even BARR saying this= nothing.
Recall after they figured out they were gonna get NOTHING on Russian agents or election collusion, Mueller & his team of skunks desperately spent 18 months trying to formulate an exotic reading of an obstruction of justice charge that they lacked the balls to make themselves.
So Muller's SC team **punts** the charging decision upstairs to newly installed AG Bill Barr & RR.

Who promptly grin at each other and shitcan it & go out for beer & pizza.

Later, Sen. Harris demands to know why Barr let RR participate in the decision not to charge.
Harris thinks she has a legitimate conflict of interest. RR should NOT have been allowed to participate in the decision to shitcan the Trump obstruction of justice charge when he's a key witness in the firing of James Comey as FBI Director?
Listen to what Barr tells her:

Rosenstein was cleared to be a witness against ALL the people he was supervising at the DOJ/FBI when he took the DAG job in April of 2017. https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1123663820562604039
No matter how many times you tell people this, they fail to grasp it.

The AG testified under oath that the DOJ Ethics Dept. cleared RR to be able to both supervise these people & then testify against them at a later time.
There is only one kind of person who gets that kind of clearance to participate in criminal conspiracy and yet later testify as a government witness against the conspirators.

Do you know what we call that person?
Now before I go further blowing some of your minds with this, let me be very clear:

Rosenstein wasn't sent in there to ENTRAP anybody by **leading** them into a crime.

Understand: THIS criminal conspiracy he was sent to participate in started LONG before he got there.
The criminal conspiracy began in 2015, as far as the specific targeting of Trump & his associates goes.

Rosenstein isn't sent in there to begin spying on these people, guiding & directing and INFORMING on them until late April of 2017.

So he's NOT entrapping these people.
This massive RICO criminal conspiracy started years before Rosenstein was sent in to gather evidence against the plotters.

Now here comes the hard thing.

"But Mueller went after Flynn. He went after Manafort. He went after Stone, Papadopoulos...RR **allowed that!"

Yes he did.
While he was working as an undercover informant for the government, RR **let** the SpyGate plotters do what they wanted to do.

Because this is the hard part of the job.

RR wasn't sent in there to STOP these people from doing anything.

That's not the job.
What was the goal here, anyway?

Arrest a handful of people? Easily replaceable people?

That was NEVER the goal.

The goal is to DESTROY THE SYSTEM.

And to destroy the system, you have to catch them in the act.

This is a WAR.

And in war you are FORCED into awful choices.
You've all seen the movies, read the books about the undercover informant facing that age old dilemma, sent in there to help bring down a massive criminal enterprise, but conflicted over the crimes going on all around him; what does he stop, what does he allow? How far to go?
If after being dropped into their midst Rosentein fights hard from the start to stop these people from doing what they want to do, they'd stop talking to him, they'd start going around him.

The best informant is the one nobody suspects. You're not constantly arguing with him.
So yes.

I won't sugar-coat it or downplay it.

RR **let** these goons assuage their egos by going after INNOCENT PEOPLE or corrupt people like Manafort/Cohen on bank/tax fraud while keeping the Mueller SC on course to it's inevitable conclusion.

NO collusion.
There are casualties in war.

Anybody telling you different is being absurd.

And this was a war. A war against a massive RICO criminal cabal deeply entrenched withing the federal gov't itself.

This is the way.

This was the ONLY way to destroy it, completely. Totally.
Donald Trump and his team have carefully prepared the battlefield total complete and overwhelming victory and you are about to watch it all unfold.

But sacrifices were involved to get here. While these cases were built, while airtight, inescapable evidence was compiled.
That **is** sad.

I wish that hadn't been the case.

But it was the case. People who think they could have done this better than Trump & Sessions are wrong. It **had** to be done this way to excise the ENTIRE cancer.
This wasn't about just lopping off a head or two of the Hydra.

This is about slaying the entire monster.

That's why a prosecutor experienced with taking down RICO mobs is in charge of this.
SpyGate isn't the only huge massive scandal that dwarfs WaterGate by a factor of 1,000 that Trump & his team are about to drop on the DC political elite & the Democrat party over the summer.

UkraineGate - the REAL ONE - will also drop this summer.
Serious people were in charge of this from the start.

Years of careful planning are about to pay off.

Of course, the people who think this all should have gone down in 2017 or 2018, many of them will never change their minds. They're invested. Well so am I.

And I can wait.
Just like Devin Nunes, and just like Jeff Sessions.

I can wait to be right.

And I'll end this thread with your reminder as you listen to pundits talk about what Trump should have done by now:
Pundits who's commentary boils down:

1) I am smarter than this President
2) I am better informed than this President
3) I'd be doing a better job than this President

might be pursuing a successful business model but they're often going to end up being wrong.
