Wanting Improved Ties with Russia Considered Heresy. “Deep State” Supporters Want Trump Removed From Office

Anti-Russia sentiment in Washington matches McCarthy era witch-hunt hysteria.
It’s more dangerous because of bipartisan hawks infesting Congress and the administration in key defense, national security and intelligence positions.
Instead of Dwight Eisenhower warning of the dangers of the military/industrial complex in his farewell address, chicken hawks Bill and Hillary Clinton, Bush/Cheney, Obama, and now Trump consider muscular militarism a good thing, enormous risks ignored.
Trump is in trouble anyway. Deep State Hillary supporters want him delegitimized, undermined and removed from office – aiming at key officials in his administration, perhaps prelude to replacing him a more easily controlled figurehead like Pence.
Trump fired National Security Advisor Michael Flynn over nothing, bowing to opposition forces wanting him out – solely for being soft on Russia, wanting improved relations.
So does AG Jeff Sessions, why he’s targeted for removal, not for speaking to Russia’s ambassador to Washington when a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Undemocratic Democrats and screaming headlines call for his head, wanting no change in hardline policy toward Moscow, virtually certain to get it, one of many broken Trump campaign pledges, more to come while he claims otherwise.
On Thursday, Sessions shamefully recused himself from federal investigations into the 2016 presidential campaign, related to (nonexistent) Russia election hacking – groundless claims with evidence.
FBI investigations so far found nothing, including about allegations of Trump financial ties to Russian pubic or private figures.
Witch-hunt investigations continue, checking phony allegations of relations between Trump aides and Moscow.
In a Thursday statement, Sessions said he “met with the relevant senior career (Justice) Department officials to discuss whether (to) recuse (himself) from any matters arising from the campaigns for President of the United States.”
“Having concluded those meetings today, I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States,” he said.
