A professional hacker just provided me full access to my children's phone calls, text messages and their social media accounts which means i can now monitor their daily activities and also be able to know when they are being misled by anyone. I am happy about this because my kids mean the world to me and ever since the death of their mother, i promised to always be there for them not only as a father but also as a mother so as to secure a bright future for them...You can contact the brain behind the hack at spystealth.org at gmail dot com for any problems you have that relates to hacking.

Maddow and Wolraich scooped WaPo (or planted the idea in Trump's noggin? or at the very least planted it with White House leakers?) Here's their home page headline right now:

Trump ponders a recess appointment to replace Attorney General Sessions

Two people familiar with the issue described President Trump as musing about the idea rather than outlining a plan of action, and several others said the president’s fury peaked over the weekend and that he and Sessions now seem to be heading toward an uneasy detente.

and then there's Borowitz:

and then there's Borowitz: Jeff Sessions Urges Melania to Work Harder on Campaign to Stop Cyberbullying

“From my perspective, cyberbullying is very much a growing problem,” the Attorney General said.

WaPo's home page headline story right now:

GOP senators stand up for Attorney General Sessions as Trump bashes him

Unlike any other controversial move that President Trump has pondered during his first six months in the Oval Office, Senate Republicans are sending preemptive signals that firing the attorney general or pressuring him into resigning would be a terrible move.

Trump launches new attacks on Sessions

Hewitt has been trying to

In reply to From Rubin's piece this

Hewitt has been trying to thread the needle between defending Trump while criticizing him just enough to not be a Hannity like sycophant. I think that's why he just weeks ago he got a show on MSNBC. I wonder how he is viewed by the Trump base now that he has a show on the most liberal MSN network.

Resignation is what Trump

In reply to Thanks. Also from Politico:

Resignation is what Trump wants and is so clearly telegraphing, but he'll still be left with the need for Senate confirmation - and after his NYT tantrum about Sessions' recusal it won't be an easy nomination for him.

Thanks. Also from Politico:

Thanks. Also from Politico:

Some White House advisers are warning the president against dismissing the attorney general. Chief strategist Steve Bannon, for example, has emphasized that firing Sessions is a risky move that would cast the White House in a negative light and potentially unleash a political disaster, according to a senior White House aide.

Trump probably thinks he will avoid political blowback (and possible obstruction charges) if Sessions resigns rather than being fired.

Well, timid in confronting

Well, timid in confronting Trump. But point well taken.

Thanks, I wasn't aware that

Thanks, I wasn't aware that Dems could do that. Great news.

In reply to Trump's Recess Scheme

From Rubin's piece this morning at WaPo: This morning Trump Tweets fit your analysis, as he is continuing trying to rile up the base about Hillary "crimes" not being prosecuted (as he did in his remarks to the Boy Scout Jamboree yesterday!) In his twisted logic, the base would then give GOP Senators backing to support a different attorney general. But it's complicated. Rubin points out in that article that Scaramucci told Hugh Hewitt that he recommended not firing Sessions, that is also being reported this morning by Hewitt. So the part of the Trump base listening to Hewitt would not get fired up, if you know what I mean. Amazing that Scaramucci already has messaging conflicts with the Tweeter in Chief...so it goes...
