I want there to be way more than perjury. The republican party is perfectly willing, and has, to overlook much worse. I don’t see little Donnie pleading guilty and quietly doing time like Cohen. If it’s just perjury, it will be spun as a political attack.
Nunes was re-elected.
True, but he’s probably not going to be keeping his committee seat.
Nunes won.
Sessions out as AG. Gee, who didn’t see that one coming?
Not even Trump, according to the press conference he gave earlier today.
Sessions’s interim replacement, Matthew Whitaker, wrote in 2017 that Mueller’s investigation was going too far.
According to Sessions’s resignation letter, he was resigning at Trump’s request.
At least I can return to normalcy and stop rooting for Jeff Sessions.
Don’t worry, the Senate seat held by Doug Jones, which was Sessions before he became AG, is up for election in 2020. He’ll be back.
Isn’t that being fired? Because I think that matters with regard to replacing him.
Also the “resignation” letter wasn’t dated. I’m sure it’s been held over his head for a long time.
Guess the elfin magic finally wore off.
Well… yeah as totally weird as it felt thinking of Jeff Sessions as somehow a protagonist in this story, this is anything but a return to normalcy. The guy now overseeing the investigation seems sympathetic to the Trump team. I have no idea what happens now.
I’ve been predicting Mueller will have a response to this. Let’s see if he does.
Also need to see what Democrats do – although I’ve always been especially worried during this lame duck session(s), because they’re not technically in charge until noon on January 3rd. It’s going to be a very rough couple of months.
Mueller makes yet another off site back up of all the data.
I’m hearing that NBC is reporting that Rosenstein has been pulled off oversight of the Mueller probe. Bloomberg is supposedly reporting this too… will have cite when find it. Or not. 
I saw the same on Twitter. Sounds like the thinking is that Rosenstein was only overseeing the probe because Sessions recused himself. Assuming his successor has no reason to recuse himself, then there’s no need for Rosenstein to keep oversight. Sessions’s successor has written that the Mueller investigation has “gone too far”, so he’s probably already made up his mind to end it.
It’s looking like I’m going to be at a protest tomorrow at noon.
Cite:
“BREAKING: With an acting attorney general taking over after AG Sessions’ ouster, Deputy AG Rosenstein will no longer oversee the Mueller investigation, @PeteWilliams reports.”
I’m not super hopeful that the House Democrats, once they take office in 2019, can really do much beyond leak information. But that’s all for naught if no one in the Federal government cares to prosecute it and the Senate has no interest in ousting the President.
This may all fall back to New York state and hoping that they’re building an air-tight case on something.
