Addressing the Senate Floor, Schumer Says Trump is Trying to Bully Sessions Out of Office

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) addressed the Senate floor today, discussing Trump’s Twitter attacks on AG Sessions (I can’t believe I just wrote that), admonishing his character for publicly outing his first establishment ally in the Senate.

“We should all take a moment to think about how shocking these comments are on a human basis,” Schumer said on the Senate floor about some of Trump’s recent statements. “This was the first person who stumped for Donald Trump, who was with him through thick and thin. And now, even if the president has disagreements with him, which I think are ill-founded, self-centered and wrong, you don’t ridicule him in public, someone who is your close friend. That speaks to character.”

It’s clear that President Trump is trying to bully his attorney general out of office. How can anyone draw a different conclusion?” Schumer said, wondering why Trump aired his grievances in public and not in person. “He wants him out.”

Schumer posited the idea that Trump was jockeying to get rid of Sessions before the August recess, at which point he’d appoint a new AG, who would then fire Robert Mueller. Makes sense.

“Before this scheme gains wings, Democrats will never go along with the recess appointment if that situation arises. We have some tools in our toolbox to stymie such action. We’re ready to use every single one of them, anytime day or night,” he said.

“I cannot imagine my friends on the Republican side, particularly in the Republican leadership … would be complicit in creating a constitutional crisis. They must work with us and not open the door to a constitutional crisis during the August recess.”

Creatures from Twitter weigh in.

What do you think? Does Trump have the gumption to pull it off?

            Hey Trader, no need to engage with the nutcase known as Sac. Just mock the shitty little anti-semite.

            I see. Pointing out traitors in the highest levels of US .gov is antisemitism. Got it.

            Slowmo.. I feel bad about punching down to SAC but it is weirdly entertaining.

            Now back to SAC… I think you are confusing .. that happens often to small-minded people like yourself.. the law-of-return which allows Jews from around the world to immigrate to Israel. Other countries including Greece, Ireland, Armenia, and even Germany under certain circumstances.. have similar rights. But one isn’t automatically a citizen by virtue of their ethnic heritage so your list is bullshit. Shocking! If this explanation is hard for you to understand then I’m happy to draw you pictures. I’ll use your favorite Crayolas!

            Now for the bad news SAC. You now have to worry about Papists too with Trump hiring Scaramucci..

            “This is the problem with the leaking,” he said on Tuesday, bizarrely responding to his own on-the-record leaking to Politico. “Let’s say I’m firing Michael Short today. The fact that you guys know about it before he does really upsets me as a human being and as a Roman Catholic. You got that?”

            I’m sorry,

            Dual citizens from any country shouldn’t have any business to do here. Is that easier to understand?

            You dumb goy

    Haha. Michael Short, buddies with RINO Reince Prebus, was outed as a press corp leaker and fired by Scaramucci today.

    As the ultimate irony, they leaked his termination to CNN. When contacted by his CNN counterpart he knew nothing of it, only to later make a public statement that ‘he has resigned’

    LOL..
