If that happens, Trump will simply issue a preemptive pardon (like the one Ford gave Nixon) before jumping on a plane to Florida to grieve over the loss of his trusted advisor. Trump will then find someone even worse to replace Sessions.
Sessions needs to be taken into custody, impeached, removed from office, tried for the federal crime of perjury, and imprisoned. No double-jeopardy provisions apply since impeachment is simply a means of determining your fitness to remain in office, and its only penalty if successful is removal from that office. The odds that a Republican Congress will either entertain an impeachment hearing in the House or convict a Trump consigliere in the Senate are slim, but articles of impeachment MUST be filed on him. Our way of life depends on it.

(6,972 posts)But I'm NOT seeing resignation in the picture anywhere unfortunately. I'd GLADLY eat a whole crow (I'm not a meat eater) if kkk sessions resigns.
Also, Dems do not have the numbers to force the hand of thuglicans in the CONgress, and we see how sleazy they are and how they put party above country.
Honestly, I feel that we'll be lucky if the racist criminal recuses himself. That's all we have tbh.
