Jeff Sessions and the Conservative Talkers [Why are they giving him a pass?]
American Thinker ^ | 10/19/17 | James Tygart

Posted on 10/19/2017 2:48:07 AM PDT by markomalley

Over the last few years a good guess suggests that at least 50% of conservative talk content has been devoted to the inter-connected scandals of:  Clinton-Rhodes-Lerner-Holder-Comey-Lynch-Powers-Rice-Mueller.  And, of course, their boss.  Let’s call it the Stack of Miscreants, after Rush Limbaugh’s Stack of Stuff.  The names, at this point, are all the reference we need.  We’re already steeped in the details.  Our Conservative Talk champions have drilled it into us year after year; day after day; hour after hour.

Yet now, after all the thousands of hours of skilled analysis and sometimes Churchillian rhetoric, Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin and their Conservative Talk kin appear to be content, watching their efforts to expose the Stack of Miscreants go wasted, because Jeff Sessions has decided to just let it slide. Where is their eloquence on this single point of failure?

Lois Lerner and the IRS are off the hook for Tea Party persecution, apparently.  Of all the scandals wasn’t this the most provable?  It seemed to be from Conservative Talk’s steady stream of analyses. Selective targeting of political groups. Destruction of data, trashing computers.  Pleading the fifth, requests for information obstructed and ignored.  All part of the historical record.  Everything already nicely laid out for a sane grand jury to authorize full prosecution.  Was Conservative Talk wrong about Lois Lerner?  Why aren’t you mad as hell at this? Why all the slack for Sessions?

Sessions inherited a thoroughly corrupt agency. Cleaning house is the first priority. If he cannot trust his staff to support his objectives he cannot bring charges against the prior administration. We must trust Trump to be pursuing the swamp draining agenda. There is a timeline beyond which that trust is eroded. Less than a year is not sufficient. 6 months after the mid term wins will demonstrate the truth of the matter. If there is not change by then then impeachment may be in order.

I have come to believe that we are actually seeing the cloward-piven strategy applied to Pure criminality. We are seeing the deliberate overloading of the system with more vectors of prosecution than the system can possibly handle. Samantha Powers today testifying that 260 documents bearing her signature were not originated by her is only the latest iteration. How is that testimony allowed to stand? How about if 130 of them were? How about if 65 of them were? how about if 25 of them were? how about she had zero unmaskings in 2015 and she has 260 in 2016 ......does that matter to anybody? Is there any fact pattern that can produce any indictments in these circumstances? Is the fact that the fusion GPS people are allowed to take the fifth in this issue important? Those people should be arrested & have a black plastic bag put over their head and waterboarded. It’s time the Republicans got into squishing some people’s rights.

I am a 25 year retiree from the US Dept. Of Justice as well as the Air Force. Back in those days when the AG or commander wanted something done it was done.But that was many years ago when America was still America.

Good article.

We finally get power and totally mismanage and underutilize it. Sessions is worthless and way out of his league. This emboldens the enemies of the American Republic and further erodes the rule of law. We are in a civil war between conservativism small state vs liberalism big state.

So then if there aren’t enough resources to get all of them then just pick a few and get started.

Limbaugh and others did this with Dubya for years. Kept saying he had some long term strategy as he did liberal things one after the other. Sessions could simply transfer FBI slackers and moles to offices in flyover country. I’m sure there are people in those offices, exiled by Obama/Holder/Lynch, who would love the chance to go after some deep staters.

Sessions is a disaster. Making up excuses for his lethargy is getting to be a favorite pastime.

I now think that Sessions was the greatest win that the deep state achieved from the 2016 election. The deep state views the position of Attorney General as THE most important cabinet position to get a hold of. If you control the AG, then you get a free pass for your political corruption.

Sessions is compromised by the deep state and so he is doing their bidding, by his passivity. I wonder what photograph, video, or audio recording they have of Sessions.

Any cabinet officer coming out of the Senate is, by definition, compromised because the Senate is under such scrutiny and surveillance by the deep state.

Any replacement of Sessions by Trump cannot come from the House or Senate. That person would best be chosen from outside the federal government.

My guess is that the Clintons have a thick folder of crimes on most of the DC elite, both on the Left & Right. I wouldn’t doubt they have something on Sessions.

Trump made a serious mistake by putting a politician in charge of the JD when a hard nosed prosecutor was what was needed to drain the swamp.

You can’t trust anyone who ever worked at DOJ to clean it up. They would have to send their buddies to jail.
