23 people ask the Justice Department to launch a criminal inquiry into its chief, Jeff Sessions
Washington Post ^ | March 27, 2017 | Kristine Phillips

Nearly two dozen people from five states are accusing Attorney General Jeff Sessions of lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee about his communications with the Russian government and subsequently trying to cover up that lie, according to a complaint sent to the Department of Justice.

The complaint, which names 23 residents, states that Sessions gave false and misleading testimony during his confirmation hearing in January when he told the Senate committee that he "did not have communications with the Russians." It further accuses the attorney general of covering up the alleged perjury by directing a spokeswoman to make a public statement saying he did not mislead the committee.

"We feel there is probable cause to charge him with a crime," J. Whitfield Larrabee, a Massachusetts lawyer who represents the 23 residents, told The Washington Post. "We want indictments in the case. We want Attorney General Sessions to be treated just the same as anyone else. We don't think that just because he's the attorney general, that there should be a higher standard to bring charges against him."

You guys think the Rats might be getting a little bit nervous about something ... like burning pizza ... the Clinton Foundation ... IRS abuse ... wiretapping ... voter fraud ... market rigging ... treason and sedition ... all of the above, perhaps?

I agree. There is much more that we don’t know about. This is not normal. This behavior borders on psychotic

These rebels better hope and pray Trump administration does not use the ‘tools’ created by Obama’s hirelings to hammer them.

All part of Obama’s OFA offensive to create havoc on the Trump administration.

This is why we need Gorsuch in, now.

Trump is about to max out on EO’s and is ready to tackle enforcement of the law. It may take some muscle, as in armed muscle to round up these Soros crowds, make arrests of sanctuary mayors and function as a government with an Executive branch who is suppose to EXECUTE law and order.

It can not happen without Gorsuch. Heck, it may not happen *with* him -who knows- but the Left is stalling and stymieing everything, by using the Judicial Branch, seeking out Circuit Courts ruling against Trump, and heading toward the SC.

Good God.

It’s about damned time someone in our country tell us what in the hell is actually going on? This is waaaay over the top.

There’s a reason, not just political stuff, that a massive overwhelming attempt is being made to A) bring down this administration and B) Start a war with Russia.

It’s a sure bet that it is at least partially funded by Soros money. He’s paying useful idiots to front for him.

EO’s are not equal to the the other branches of government, but very effective for executing laws and working over process and procedures having to do with executing law.

Why else would Sessions have to ask politely for sanctuary cities to “reconsider” providing sanctuary? It’s against the law as it is, already, to flout federal law.

What’s he going to do? Send in the Marines? These cities are taking him to court. There is also a law suit against Sessions, because the Left is using the Courts to pin Trump’s ears back.

I think the IRS should audit all the people on the list.

After all, it was OK for the 0bamaites to use the IRS against their political enemies. 😀

“——Trump is about to max out on EO’s ——”

If he does nothing for the next 4 years but send out EO’s rolling back every harebrained liberal scheme he will be ahead of the game.

Actually, we the people feel there is probable cause to charge J. Whitfield Larrabee, a Massachusetts shyster who is attempting to bring fraudulent charges against Attorney General Sessions, with a crime.

We want the execrable J. Whitfield Larrabee to be treated just the same as anyone else. We don’t think that just because he’s a loud-mouthed Masshole, that there should be a higher standard to bring charges against him.

BTW, I just had a “movement”, and I named it J. Whitfield Larrabee...

I can’t believe the comments over there. If they were talking about Holder it might make sense. I’m tired of this Russian nonsense. The losers need to move on.
