CNN is reporting that top congressional Democrats are planning to take an unexpectedly soft line on new and potentially very damning information that has emerged about Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Russia probe.
Why? Because Democrats understand full well that Sessions, of all people, could end up being pivotal to preventing President Trump from covering up the findings of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation.
A few days ago, the news broke that in a recent court filing, former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos contradicted Sessions’s previous sworn testimony about how Sessions reacted when Papadopoulos proposed the idea of Trump meeting with Vladimir Putin during the 2016 campaign.
Sessions had told Congress that he “pushed back” on the suggestion. But in the filing, Papadopoulos’s lawyers claimed that in fact, Sessions “appeared to like the idea and stated that the campaign should look into it.”
Now, per CNN, Democrats are holding back with going after Sessions over the discrepancy, because they worry that if they go too hard at Sessions, it could provide Trump with a pretext for firing him.
It's entirely possible that the entire Trump-Sessions feud could be a ruse...an act that's meant to give Democrats false hope that Sessions is impartial, or maybe even anti-Trump.
Democrats are so certain that Bob Mueller is going to recommend impeachment of President Trump, that they're willing to overlook a potential crime committed by an Attorney General whom they absolutely detest.

After the FISA warrants are declassified, Sessions is going to fire Rod Rosenstein for making false statements to the FISA court. Given what the Dems have just been saying about Sessions, it'll be awesome.

Based on the last 2 years - yes it will blow up in their faces.

That right there says a whole lot about the Dem's right now. -_-
