The big news of the day on Monday came late in the afternoon, when it was reported that our thus-far useless Attorney General, Jeff Sessions may have finally decided to do the right thing in the Uranium One scandal. Maybe.
But don’t get overly excited yet. Even if the WaPo story is true, all it really says is that General Sessions has directed some DOJ “investigators” to look into the various allegations of wrongdoing and report back to him and his highly suspect Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein with recommendations as to whether a special counsel is warranted for this case. Note that it took the eager Mr. Rosenstein about 3 seconds to appoint his old running buddy Robert Mueller to “investigate” allegations of Russian collusion when they targeted a sitting President, but we must have a formal, weeks-long preliminary “investigation” when the allegations involve the Clintons and Obamas.
We must also remember that Rosenstein was actually a U.S. attorney who was involved in the original fake investigation of the matter, along with none other than ROBERT MUELLER, who was then the Director of the FBI.
So now, while Mueller is occupied with conducting what many view as a slow-rolling coup d’etat in his special counsel “investigation”, Sessions has decided to also involve Rosenstein, who participated in the fake investigation of Uranium One six years ago, in the decision-making over whether to conduct a real investigation into the matter.
So, the good news is that Mr. Sessions has decided to at least make a token effort to do the right thing in at least one of the various major scandals swirling around Hillary Clinton. The bad news is that, unless Sessions suddenly finds the previously-undisplayed guts to overrule his swamp creature Deputy AG, a token is all this effort will be.

Do you think Free Republic is your private hit farm?
Pretty scummy behavior, that.
How are Rosenstein and McCabe still employed in the government?
That’s a very good question. The answer is that the President is paralyzed from firing them by the Mueller investigation, and Sessions is paralyzed either by his own stupid decision to recuse himself from anything related to Russia, or because he is hopelessly compromised personally. I’m betting on the latter.
Sessions is the swamp.
I nominate Andrew McCarthy to be Sessions’ replacement.
Why the hell is Rosenstein still there?
Sure seems like Mr. Blackman writes a well-composed article.
I cannot figure out the angry fly-swatters that repeatedly try to discourage the posting of the article.
It is a good read.
Asking him to post the whole thing is “discouraging posting” how exactly?
I went to his website twice. Once on the computer for me and once on my smartphone for you.
You’re welcome.
Good for you!
You’re special.
IMHO, Sessions referring the matter to the deputy AG is proof the he is working for the deep state.
Enough is enough.
Trump should fire Sessions. If it leads to a civil war, so be it. I’m angry enough for it, to be sure.
Because his hobby is thread police
Thanks EyesOfTX.
You’re welcome.
More footdragging by the DOJ.
Frankly, having Sessions gone and Rosenstein as acting AG would be no different from what we have now.
Yep. Go to the DOJ web site and look up the duties of the Deputy Attorney General. Most things people think are done by the AG are actually the responsibility of the Deputy AG.
