Wow, that’s an intelligent response. Is that your defense of Sessions?

Leave Jeff alone!
Sessions isn’t afraid of hard work.
He can lie down next to it and go right to sleep.

Well since this is missing a sarcasm tag I’ll take a stab that either you believe what you are espousing and are ignorant or just failing on including one.

Please do share that after a year of congressional questioning for all the world to see and plainly in front of cameras the crimes exposed where are those indictments? Enough was said in front of those cameras a law student undergrad could have won a case had an indictment been brought.

So no not an insider just observant of the obvious when it is plainly in sight of all.

Were you by chance sleeping under a rock? Have you written letters to the White House asking our President why his DOJ has not yet dropped indictments? Have you?

https://www.circa.com/story/2017/10/18/national-security/grassley-asks-doj-to-look-into-the-fbis-investigation-of-the-uranium-one-deal

Sarah Carter is the best of the best:

“What are you doing to find out how the Russian takeover of the American uranium was allowed to occur despite criminal conduct by the Russia company that the Obama administration approved the purchase,” Grassley said.

Grassley said he wants to know why the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, approved the Rosatom purchase of Uranium One despite the existence of an FBI investigation which could have impacted CFIUS’ approval.

The Rostaom takeover of Uranium One required approval by CFIUS, an inter-agency committee who reviews transactions that leads to a change of control of a U.S. business to a foreign person or entity that may have an impact on the national security of the United States. At the time of the Uranium One deal the panel was chaired by then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and included then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then-Attorney General Eric Holder.

By the time CFIUS approved the sale of Uranium One to Rosatom, the FBI’s investigation had already gathered substantial evidence of bribery and kickbacks against a Russian national, Vadim Mikerin, who was then a top official with Rosatom’s Tenex subsidiary, according to court documents. The FBI said while at Tenex, which was located in Maryland, Mikerin was involved in multiple bribery and kickback schemes. Mikerin pled guilty in 2015 for money laundering conspiracy involving Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Violations and was sentenced to four years in prison. By the end of 2015, four defendants were indicted in the years-long investigation, according to court records and the Justice Department.

In a 2015 affidavit, FBI officials said Mikerin, “with the consent of higher level officials at Tenex and Rosatom (both Russian state-owned entities), would offer no-bid contracts to U.S. businesses in exchange for kickbacks in the form of money...” made to offshore accounts, stated the affidavit in support of a search warrant. Mikerin pled guilty to the allegations.

“Mikerin admitted that he conspired with Daren Condrey, Boris Rubizhevsky and others to transmit approximately $2,126,622 from Maryland and elsewhere in the United States to offshore shell company bank accounts located in Cyprus, Latvia and Switzerland with the intent to promote the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations,” according to a DOJ press release announcing the charges against the then defendants in 2014. “Mikerin further admitted that the conspirators used consulting agreements and code words to disguise the corrupt payments.”

I have read that the Trump Admin stepped away from prosecuting Hillary, because Obama did the same thing she did with the emails, by responding and emailing through her personal server. They would need to prosecute him and the left would start a civil war over this.

I would like to see them all loose his lifetime coverage of secret service & income.

Great catch Art, a lot of us were wondering WTH Sessions was doing on this and other cases like Imran Awan which needs Sessions attention immediately before Awan is sent back to Pakiville.
I’m betting that Awan’s Clinton high dollar lawyer has already tried to create a fake story for justice that Imran is CIA and ISI therefore not eligible for prosecution. But if he’s a crimanal “first” as well who the hell cares?

Same thing here,I don’t have a clue what Sessions is doing on many of these cases. One thing I do know however is that he better get his ass in gear.

“Today she told Laura Ingram the FBI wouldn’t release him from the Do Not Disclose agreement the FBI made him sign.”

They have no authority that exceeds that of Congress. Nor is a non-doisclosure agreement enforceable if its intent is to conceal criminality.

Nor is it enforceable if it is made under duress.

This man needs security RIGHT NOW.

Anymore, it appears the FBI needs an enema stat! Clean it all out!
