McCabe also investigated Sessions
Top FBI official Andrew McCabe did not just investigate President Trump. As he notes in a little-publicized part of his new book, McCabe even investigated his department boss — then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions — after Senate Democrats asked McCabe to look into allegations Sessions perjured himself during his confirmation hearings when he denied meeting with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.
Sessions had, in fact, met with the Russian ambassador. He later corrected the record and explained he had forgotten speaking with the official and was not trying to mislead Congress.
Ordering the Sessions probe was “another unprecedented, partisan action that has been forgotten,” said former federal prosecutor Solomon L. Wisenberg, a partner at Nelson Mullins LLP in Washington.
Someone I read recently - maybe Brian Cates - said that Sessions was also investigated and that he could not prosecute crimes of which he had been a victim. (I'm paraphrasing.)
Trump retweeted Paul Sperry today and commented on itm and I think Sessions did indeed have a clue and Trump is saying this for good reasons:
Sessions didn’t have a clue! https://t.co/XlLpnINOBv— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 8, 2019
