Not to worry! Jeff Sessions is on the job...
Just tell the truth. It is evil, it is a cult, it destroys all it touches, it wants to control the world and it is a compulsive murderer.
Neither; Sessions is a corrupt and complicit member of the lawless.
I never thought I’d be tempted to agree. My view of Sessions has done a 180.
I agree.
For the good pastor. Find a lawyer, quick, and plead the fifth.
I’ll have to say, Sessions is beginning to seriously worry me.
He’s been in long enough to have had some impact, and I don’t see any.
Maybe I’m not paying close enough attention, but it appears to me he’s practically invisible. I see no evidence of him turning things around.
With what he had to work with, we should see countless evidences of him turning things around by now.
Am I missing his good works?
Reincarnation of Bartleby the Scrivener .
BTW: Thanks for your note of agreement. I agree with your take also.
All Steve needs to do is show those PRCs this: http://defendproclaimthefaith.org/tracking_influence_of_muslims.htm
If you’re missing some of his good works I’m missing it also.
I’ve been hesitant to criticize him but like you say, he’s been there long enough to be turning things around and haven’t seen anything as yet.
The president has the ultimate authority to hire and fire the deputy AGs
Trump has no interest in Sessions. He could order a special counsel. He could fire many people and/or change their jobs. He can order Sessions to release records along with State, IRS, etc... He is doing “none of this” What else are we to think.
Then there’s the practical side. When Trump lit into Sessions he was condemned on all sides and no one—not a single congress person—supported him.
What I think is that Trump can only do so much with both the Democrats and the Republicans opposing every move he makes. McConnell and Ryan loved Obama but they both hate and detest Trump. Maybe if Trump had a single ally in Congress it would help.
Another swamp that has not been drained. Take the 5th Pastor.
Absolutely. The swamp is rising, not falling.
Has Sessions done ANYTHING to justify his paycheque since he’s been appointed? When Holder was AG we never stopped hearing about his agenda and involvement with high profile cases. Sessions does nothing. He’s a dead loss.
It's ok -- some people have to be presented more proof than others to change their minds.
I've been on the bad end of some Freeper insults because I was way ahead of the curve on Sessions and warned them that his appointment to AG was not a Good ThingTM.
(Ever since I found out he voted for the Iran Deal, I knew he was compromised.)
There's a reason for this: The Republicans want, and need, someone like Sessions to be the AG. In particular, the Iran Deal was literal treason, and Sessions was one of the 98% of the Senate that voted Yea
for it. (Boxer didn't vote, Cotton was the only one voting No
.) They desperately need someone who can/will squash the prosecution of such high-crimes, as well as things like the Clinton Foundation and it's influence-peddling and pay-to-play precisely because it illustrates a literal conspiracy in addition to the blatant corruption… and what better way than putting someone who would definitely hang with them should word get out?
There are a few ways Trump could get around it, but the optics thereof would be very, very easy to get wrong
and make it look like the *GASP* He's a Nazi who'll grab tyrannical power!
-crowd look right. (Which is exactly why the Republicans made such a hard-line stand on the issue.)
That’s an interesting take. It’s clear the swamp has nothing to fear from Sessions, and will therefore fight tooth and nail to keep him. I hope Trump can oust Jeff sooner than later. We need a clean, aggressive AG.
My opinion of Sessions began to shift fairly early in the campaign. He made the claim that Cruz had singlehandedly stopped amnesty. Now that was a flat lie, with only two explanations. Sessions was going senile, or he deliberately chose to deceive. It looked more like B...then and now.
