Victoria Toensing: Jeff Sessions, Trump's pick for attorney general, is a good and decent man
Fox News ^ | January 3, 2017 | Victoria Toensing

Posted on 01/03/2017 4:07:46 AM PST by LouisianaJoanof Arc

Once again a good and decent man is being maligned. Sen. Jeff Sessions, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be U.S. attorney general, is that man. Democrats and the Left, just as they did 30 years ago when Sessions was nominated for a federal judgeship, are trying to derail his nomination — with false accusations.

In 1986, the Democrats trotted out J. Gerald Hebert, a U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division lawyer. Hebert made headlines when he testified under oath during the public Senate hearing. The major accusation against Sessions, who was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, was that he blocked the filing of a civil rights voting case that government lawyers wanted to prosecute.

I hope Sessions is the first one confirmed so he can get to work on draining the swamp.

susie collins of Maine has served with and worked with Jeff Sessions for 20 years, yet she wants a private meeting with him before she will commit to voting for him.

After 20 years, what is there left to know?

Or is that she wants him to agree not to include her or allow his investigator include her in the PizzaGate investigation?

That’s what I was thinking. Trump is gonna have the toughest time getting his AG pushed through if it’s anyone who doesn’t wink at the evil being committed by the establishment.

The likes of Angus King, John McCain and susie collins do not understand the level of hatred we have for them and the level of love we have for Donald, his family, his administration and his campaign promises.

Democrat attempts---however feeble and ineffectual--- must be seen for what they are:

Hate-filled Democrats' are attempting to overthow a duly-elected govt to install a govt of THEIR choosing.

It is mandatory that we reconfigure the political language and archive the "code words" these evil people use to foment the overthrow.

Code words include..."Civil Rights" "Racism" "diversity" "Inequality," "zenophobic" "homophobic" "Islama-phobic" "globalism" "tolerance"......

The left's overthrow Modus Operandi routinely dehumanizes those they disdain....as when Hillary called conservatives "deplorables".... and targeting a decent man like Sessions as anti-civil rights.

Be alert for lefty Dems attempts to overthrow the duly-elected US govt----and the code words they'll use to launch the overthrow.

So Sessions lost a federal judge seat because of a false testimony, which the witness admitted it was false after the damage was done, then the witness claimed he was threatened, and now the democrats are going to rehash this?

Obama raising war chest to 'fight' Trump w/ Democrats
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 16, 2016 | Paul Bedard / FR Posted by kevcol

In a fundraising email sent a week before Christmas, he says, "Help Democrats fight back. Stand with me, work with me, let's finish what we started."

===========================================

CONTACT CONGRESS: American demand to know Obama's contributors ....and demand they be investigated for colluding to overthrow the duly-elected and certified government of the United States.

================================================

Trump and Sessions MUST close down every single one of these tax-free "identity" organizations and foundations raising money to overthrow the US govt.

FIRST---Instruct the IRS to pull their tax-free status.

THEN---Prosecute them all for aiding and abetting the overthrow of the US govt.

The reality is nobody coud give a hoot about hat Democrats think. All of the input they THINK they're gonna have is DOA.

As one savvy Freeper noted: "civilized people cannot live side by side with liberals. To put it bluntly, liberals are demented and dangerous."

================================================

HOORAY Jeff Sessions. One of the greats in Trump’s cabinet (and that’s saying something coming from The Gang of 535).

WOOOOHOOOOO Mr. Donald J. Trump. Thank you, sir.

Once again a good and decent man is being maligned.


Demonrats are bad and indecent, so naturally they see a spiritual enemy in Sessions.

Amen! Sad fact is they’ll never understand until ‘common man’ begins to kick back hard enough to make a mark.
