No. Dulcinea Oct 2017 #62

No. Meeting with Sessions suggests he's trying to figure out The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2017 #2

The WH is claiming that meeting was scheduled before last Friday's news of the indictments. highplainsdem Oct 2017 #18

He might make Sessions resign first. HopeAgain Oct 2017 #34
