Thursday’s witch hunt against Trump’s U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions — once again over the media’s new favorite attack of pushing fake “Russia ties” — really shows just how far the media is willing to go to torpedo Donald Trump and to assist the weakling Democrat Party retake power in Washington D.C.
