O’Reilly Asks Sessions About Leak Probe, Not Russia Investigation

For a guy who claims every night to be looking out for “you,” Bill O’Reilly is shockingly incurious about whether anyone in the White House may be a traitor.

In his interview with Attorney General Jeff Sessions last night, Bill O’Reilly was very much looking out for milkshake pal Donald Trump’s interests, however.

O’Reilly gave Sessions (and Trump) a pre-interview gift by softening up his audience to hate immigrants as much as those three do. In his opening commentary, O’Reilly called sanctuary cities “irresponsible and dangerous.” He also accused mayors of sanctuary cities of pandering to their “far-left constituency” who want “open border and amnesty.”

So, after suggesting that criminal immigrants are flooding America (and ignoring how “pro life” Republicans seem hell-bent on killing Americans by depriving them of health care), O’Reilly and Sessions flaunted themselves as champions of Americans’ safety based on their hatred of immigrants.

Sanctuary city mayors “clearly makes [sic] their own cities less safe,” Sessions said. He even gave O’Reilly a nod by bringing up O’Reilly’s favorite pawn, homicide victim Kate Steinle.

Sessions also assured O’Reilly that the Trump Department Of Justice will target non-criminal immigrants, too. Sessions cited a gang member without a record – and suggested that even if an immigrant has no criminal record, he or she might be a criminal or become one.

But O'Reilly seemed to want to assure business owners the DOJ is not raiding farms and factories. “You don’t have a squad or a crew going after [farm workers and chambermaids] do you?” O’Reilly asked.

No, Sessions doesn’t. But once he gets the wall and more judges to throw out and jail immigrants, “we’ll be even more successful,” Sessions said.

Later, after ascertaining that only immigrants and not the businesses who employ them would suffer under Sessions, O’Reilly got around to asking about Russia. He did not ask about whether Sessions, an early Trump supporter, could pursue wrongdoing even if it was in the White House or from White House allies. No, O'Reilly was concerned about protecting them.

O’REILLY: The leakers in the various agencies, federal agencies. You guys zeroing in on them? Do you think you’re going to have some indictments shortly?

SESSIONS: I expect that we’ll get to the bottom of some of this. This is not right. We’ve never seen this kind of leaking. … It’s almost as if people think they have a right to violate the law.

O’REILLY: Yeah.

[…]

Do you see indictments shortly?

SESSIONS: Well, I won’t predict that. I would just say that I take that very seriously. What’s happening now is not correct and must stop.

Treason, schmeason, eh?

The big news, that Trump’s former national security advisor, Mike Flynn, had offered to testify in exchange for immunity may not have broken at the time O’Reilly taped his show but Tucker Carlson Tonight, which immediately followed, was live at 9PM ET. That top story? See it below, via NewsHounds Richard. Then watch Sessions on the March 30, 2017 The O’Reilly Factor.

David Lindsay, Do you also think that Jeff Sessions isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer?

You guys have reinforced what I have often thought (besides the obvious, uh, melanin difference) the reason the Goober Old Party hated Obama so much. He didn’t play by their rules. His eight years were clean and without scandal. It drove them crazy that he could manage to, mostly, keep the country safe, didn’t let his ego grab everything for monetary gain – and (sane, educated) Americans and the world loved him for it.

MJ, David – the exact treasonous strategy that Saint Ronald repeated a few years later over the hostages in Tehran. And not too dissimilar to the Cheney/Bush move in 2002 trick in which the US allowed Bin Laden to escape from the Tora Bora hills – in return for OBL releasing his infamous tape endorsing John Kerry for President, 5 days before the ’84 election.

There’s a pattern, and it is a pattern of ugly amorality – a pattern the current monstrosity fits like a frigging glove.

Hey, Bill-O, you need to get new contact lenses. There’s an 800 pound guerilla in the room you’re not seeing. 🙈

mj, the 1968 betrayal was much greater than Nixon’s Chinese Peace Proposal trip. He persuaded the North Vietnamese to avoid a peace proposal with LBJ until the election was over. Nixon kept the war going out of selfishness.

SESSIONS: “It’s almost as if people think they have a right to violate the law.”

Why, Mistah Jeff — that’s exactly what I keep thinking when I hear about Drumpf’s refusal to release his tax returns, Drumpf’s hiring of a Turkish spy as National Security Advisor, Drumpf’s hiring of a Russian operative as a key campaign aide, Drumpf’s refusal to sever himself from his corporation’s interests, Drumpf’s moving his daughter and son-in-law into the White House in order to oversee his business interests . . .

@ David Lindsay: “Nixon set the pattern way back in ’68, when the infamous anticommunist was ready, willing and able to sell out to the North Vietnamese communists in order to gain the White House.”

And reemphasized the pattern in 1972, when the infamous anticommunist took a week-long photo op in China — culminating in a champagne toast with Mao Zedong — in order to keep the White House.

Oh yeah, Louis Gohmert has been giving Jeff Sessions lessons in presentation. How to look less elf like and more hick like.

Jan Hall, Watergate immediately came to my mind also. It wasn’t the serious level of law breaking by Richard Nixon, it was the guys blabbing and confessing about it that was disturbing to RM Nixon. Nixon set the pattern way back in ’68, when the infamous anticommunist was ready, willing and able to sell out to the North Vietnamese communists in order to gain the White House.

Shades of Richard Nixon!!!

Junior O’Reilly must have taped his dear old dad ranting about the persecution of President Nixon in the early days of Watergate. 45 years later—— “Scandal? What scandal?”

O’Reilly just assumes that there is no connection between Moscow and 1600 Pennsylvania. Or if there is, he’s perfectly fine with that. The real problem here is the people on the bottom rungs of the ladder leaking. Bill O’Reilly sure is worried about getting invited to the White House for a milkshake. I don’t think he’s looking out for us very hard at all.

One old white racist bigot talking to another and watched by millions more – good times in ’Murica.

As for the subject matter, us whiny libruls seem to be the only that care about whether or not treason has been committed. The real ’Muricans only want to know who finked.
