Jeff Sessions Is Toast As US Spy Agencies Have The Goods On His Russia Collusion

US spy agencies intercepted Russian communications that detail Attorney General Jeff Sessions discussing Trump campaign related issues with the Russians. Sessions is not only a perjurer, but he has been caught working with the Russians to help Trump win the election.

The Washington Post reported:

Ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s accounts of two conversations with Sessions — then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican candidate Donald Trump — were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies, which monitor the communications of senior Russian officials both in the United States and in Russia. Sessions initially failed to disclose his contacts with Kislyak and then said that the meetings were not about the Trump campaign.

One U.S. official said that Sessions — who testified that he has no recollection of an April encounter — has provided “misleading” statements that are “contradicted by other evidence.” A former official said that the intelligence indicates that Sessions and Kislyak had “substantive” discussions on matters including Trump’s positions on Russia-related issues and prospects for U.S.-Russia relations in a Trump administration.

Trump’s souring on Sessions makes more sense now. Trump assumed that by making the future Attorney General part of the Russia conspiracy, he had created a firewall within the DOJ that would kill the investigations into his campaign. When Sessions recused himself, Trump felt betrayed because the AG is also guilty of collusion.

The writing appears to be on the wall for Sessions. It is only a matter of time before his crimes catch up with him. With Trump trashing Sessions in an interview, one way or another, it looks like he is on the way out.

The only question is will Jeff Sessions be fired, resign, or be led out in handcuffs.
