Wow, didn't know that: Trump already has Sessions' resignation letter

Mike Huckabee

August 30, 2018

While listening to bestselling author and FOX News analyst Gregg Jarrett host the Hannity radio show Thursday afternoon, I happened to hear him say something stunning about Jeff Sessions.

Of course, we’ve all been wondering how big a crowbar it was going to take to get Sessions out of the Attorney General’s office and if Trump’s lawyers were going to try to use physical restraint to keep him from using it, but, according to Jarrett, Sessions gave Trump a signed resignation letter in May of last year, with the understanding that Trump might or might not accept it at some point.  There was no time limit on it.  If I understood Jarrett correctly, this is something Trump has kept on hand –- perhaps it’s in his top desk drawer in the Oval Office at this very moment –- and he can pull it out whenever he thinks it’s a good time and simply accept.

Commentary continues below advertisement

This close to the midterm elections, accepting Sessions’ resignation would no doubt be met with politically-motivated outrage and be considered too distracting from important campaign issues, but...maybe afterwards?  ONE NANOSECOND afterwards??

Then he could appoint someone who will do what Sessions can’t or won’t do:  among other things, reopen the Hillary case and focus on her destruction of subpoenaed documents, investigate the origins of the Steele “dossier” (paid for by Hillary and the DNC) and the Trump/Russia probe, and produce documents that are responsive to years-old congressional committee subpoenas and Freedom of Information Act requests.

Well, I checked, and sure enough, I heard Jarrett right.  He talks about Sessions’ resignation letter in this piece for FOX News.

    I agree that it would be a big mistake to oust AG Jeff Sessions before the mid term elections. However, when he does vacate the office of AG, in all fairness to the American people, he should forfeit the pay he has been collecting, since he has accomplished absolutely nothing while in office! If Jeff Sessions were a direct hire of the citizenry, he would have rightfully been fired within the first week! I don’t know about his past work experience, but where I come from, if an employee doesn’t a satisfactory job performance, he will soon be looking for another position, and NOT with the same company!

    I get your emails daily and enjoy them and find them very enlightening. I also know you were a former Pastor and appreciate your Daily Verse. One thing I should let you know though is your emails have adds in them that sometimes promotes things you would probably object too though like 'pot' penny stocks, etc. Is there any way to control that ? it kind of looks like your supporting them when I would think you would not.

    Thanks

    Great reporting on the deep state, and UN Ambassador, my former SC Governor, Nikki Haley...so proud of her and the job she is doing. The article explaining how the Deep State came to be, and why there is so much Anti-Trump bias going on behind the scenes... More people need to hear about this! How can we spread this story, so more people know what is happening, and how this all came about? 7,000 Obama hold-overs working in the government? Absurd! I understand someone has to keep things running, but not when they are running it to the dogs.
    Wish they could clean house of all Obama/Clinton holdovers...who needs them? I don't want my tax money going to any of them!!

    Hi there Governor. On your show Saturday evening you mentioned that you know Jeff Sessions. Do you know him well enough to ask him why he appears to be aiding and abetting the anti-Trump group; to ask if he is being blackmailed? I'm so surprised at him because of all the accolades before he was selected to be AG, which made him sound like he was beyond reproach. What happened?

    Those who attempted the coup deserve punishment to deter future coup attempts. I disagree with Professor Dershowitz' opinion that we should give Hillary and her cabal a pass because we don't want to criminalize political differences. Here we would be exposing and prosecuting dangerous criminal behavior.

    Hillary shouldn't get to keep the fruits of her dishonor because she lost, because she would have kept them had she won. There is no symmetry -- no insistence on equal justice -- in looking the other way. It just encourages more lawless behavior.

    We should not let the Left get this triumph of destroying another good Republican. Sessions should convene a Grand Jury under an attorney he picks to indict people in the FBI and DNC conspiracy to displace President Trump which has nothing to do with Russia or Mueller to date. Sessions' Utah DOJ attorney should get on the ball with Ohr under oath, etc. or be replaced. Also, start a similar Grand Jury to indict people on Uranium One. We can get back to Hillary's emails and Benghazi later. This will remove Mueller as Special Counsel and have the Dimms ratting on each other to save their criminal hides. Please read the fuller commentary and recommendation to our President at www.listenorleave.com. Now is the time to take action and drive Conservatives and Independents to the polls for the GOP values and further recovery of America.

    Gov: In my opinion, AG Sessions is being forced or blackmailed through his prior entanglements with Deep State, as a U.S. Senator and was made part of Deep State's "insurance policy", which details we already know, go all the way back into the 2015 Obama Administration Cabal to elect HC. President Trump is right to exercise the Sessions resignation letter, after the mid-term elections and to now focus on getting Republican Senators elected and keeping Republican control of the House (the "impeachment defense"). A resulting 2nd Special Prosecutor investigation, which will be demanded by the voters, as a result of winning the mid-terms, will unfold going into the 2020 election lead-up. Puts the Socialist/Leftist Democratic party on the defense. AG Sessions is clearly performing at less than half strength ( which is not going to improve) and needs to be replaced, but at the right time to maximize Republican strength going into the 2020 election.

    I also believe all of this leftist/socialist hate/resistance/obstruction/fire and smoke is having an adverse effect of Trump's Foreign policy in regards to N.Korea, Russia, China and the Iranian response to Trump's "tough love" foreign policies. They are now holding their collective breaths, (playing a waiting game) and looking for the dust to settle in the U.S to see if President Trump loses strength under the mid-terms, before knowing how far they are going to be required to go, just to get along with President Trump in the out years. Trump has their attention now, where before they paid no attention to Obama and HC. He is the best get the damn job done President since either of the Roosevelts! Just think how much better the country would be in, if the Dems, leftist and fake media had followed the will of the 2016 electorate to help support the country or at least be neutral. USA would be cooking on all 12 cylinders, rather than just 8 cylinders now and would be at least three times better off than the 2008-2016 Obama years, which were "Stupid is as Stupid Does!"

    Hi Mike,
    I sincerely love your show on Sunday's. It is done in good taste thanks to you. I also wanted to comment on President Trump. I have tried to email him and tell him how much we care about him but that his mannerism of telling everyone " How great is doing and What great things he has done". is just making the media more Negative about him. I told him he needs to let people like me tell everyone and every chance I get how great a job I think he is doing. Let us " His People" tell everyone how Great he is making America Again" with God's help. I wish I could get that message across to him. I also would like to tell him that I did not agree with the situation between him and John McCain. I was not a McCain fan but his loyality to his country was fantastic. I am embarrassed that Obama and Bush were invited to his funeral but President Trump was not. It will take a long time if ever to live that down. I can almost feel Obama's gloating. Anyway, I am not the best with words but I am sorry this has turned out the way it has with John McCain and President Trump. Wish he had handled things differently. Mike tell Sarah how great a job we think she is doing. I think the media is purposely trying to make things hard for her but thank God she knows how to handle them. I hope she continues doing what she is doing. Great Work Sarah!!

    My wife & I heard Gregg Jarrett talk about this and my wife made a comment and it got me thinking that maybe this issue is a smoke cover for Session to get what useful information needed in court before he puts the guillotine to those making up the Deep State which is trying to remove President Trump.

    Yes, right after the mid-term elections, accept the letter of resignation. It is way past due to appoint an Attorney General who will have
    the intestinal fortitude to do the job and seek justice against all the injustice. I still think Trey Gowdy would be excellent, but that is my opinion.
    Was surprised to hear that Trump cancelled a pay raise for 2 million federal civilian employees. Not that I don't think fiscally it is a bad decision, but doing it before the mid-term elections could have consequences, at least from those 2 million employees as per how they vote, or maybe I am off base with that assumption.
    Always read your newsletters for all the information I need, as I do not and never will again rely on any of the mainstream media to tell the truth or not hype up their reporting to satisfy the liberals and their agenda !

    Mike,
    I don't know why you seems surprised by this fact. I heard a long time ago and have seen in movies (yes, sometimes fiction does mirror fact) that at the start of every Administration, the cabinet must submit their resignation letters when they start and it is up to the President's discretion when or if the letter will be accepted.

    I am amazed at how quickly people forget all of the great things Jeff Sessions has done for this country during his many years in the Senate (if they ever knew). I do not claim to know all of the reasons that he recused himself but I am sure that it was not because he is stupid, incompetent, or spineless. The Democrats are the real enemy of our great country not Sessions. I hope all of the people complaining about Sessions get up and vote in the midterm elections to make sure that our great country remains great and free.

  • Sandra Shoun

    I love your idea of accepting Jeff Sessions' resignation one nanosecond after the midterms!
    I think Republicans placed a lot of hope in Sessions only to have him betray President Trump and the American people, esp. Republicans. A lot of us are also concerned about Christopher Wray and his judgment.

    Mike, I think that trump is waiting for the next holiday Thanksgiving or Christmas in order to replace sessions with Rudy Giuliani or someone like him. I am suspicious that the real reason for not having the August recess was so that the president could not do a recess appointment. I believe that once there is a recess in the next few months, the President will appoint Giuliani and not have to contend with the resistance from the rhinos and democrats in Congress.

    With breaking information, it seems time to investigate the entire "special counsel" process, and people, as a case of OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!! If there has ever been such a case, this seems to be it.

    Makes me wonder if this isn't why Sessions is sitting on his BUTT doing very little if anything? Also, it's my understanding that if President Trump does let him go, that GOOD OLD ROD baby would step into Sessions place unless and until President Trump would put in an INTERIM/ACTING A.G... Maybe you know more about something like that? Anyway, please enlighten us if you do know how that would work.
