Jeff Sessions: 'Not enough evidence' for special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton

Guardian (UK) ^

[TigerClaws]

Jeff Sessions on Tuesday said there was “not enough evidence” to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton, a day after reports surfaced that the attorney general had authorized senior prosecutors at the Department of Justice to evaluate an inquiry into the Clinton Foundation.

Testifying before the House judiciary committee, Sessions also appeared to push back on Donald Trump’s repeated insistence that the FBI should focus on investigating Clinton as opposed to potential collusion between his own presidential campaign and Russia.

I hate Sessions!

[rrrod]

Calling all Sessions apologising pukes.....

The Jeff Fan Club may be down to 1.5 members after his hearing.

How did Hillary actually get the FBI files?

If it's a game, then it's the longest, broadest game in the history of politics. ICE agents feel betrayed that Obama holdovers are still running their agency, abd many other agencies. Bergdahl walked and might get 300k while Marine DIs get 10 big ones in the clink for slapping recruits around. The infantry is still open to women who feel like they can do it after watching Wonder Woman. The moral and morale rot and scads of weak Obama-era officers are still extant and the army is looking to recruit bipolar self-mutilators. The Navy is combat ineffective and operationally crippled. Where's Mattis? Mouthing off? Clinton and other utterly corrupt leftists run free while this Russia investigation, which WILL cause damage the longer it drags on, continues. Sessions twiddles his thumbs and piles onto Roy Moore. The wall ain't built. Yeah they're looking at prototypes. Big deal. Significant deportions have not happened. Tillerson badmouthing Trump and doing what else, of any particular note? GOP tax plan is a joke. We're losing momemtum fast.

It's been nearly a year. We should be seeing noticeable progress towards making America great again and we just ain't. Maybe there is no 8-dimensional political chess going on. Maybe Trump is simply unable to make a dent in the swamp and its legions of monsters.

Not enough evidence of Clinton collusion, but sufficient evidence of Trump collusion?

Seriously, Jeff?

[dware]

That’s that, then. Sessions must go, by any means possible at this point. If Trump won’t fire him, then Trump needs to be fired. This bullspit has GOT to stop. I’m done with the GOP. I’ll start voting dummycrat so the SHTF sooner and we can clean this Nation up properly. The tree of liberty thirsts.

So can we finally stop with the nonsense from LS that Mueller and Sessions and Trump are in cahoots to secretly take down Clinton .

The evidence took him to Podesta. Podesta should face consequences and probably will.

“So much for the Theory that Sessions and Muller are secretly going after the swamp. I would say that whole thing was intentional disinformation to take the heat off Sessions and Muller.”

I was beginning to think the same thing. The same 5 or 6 Freepers who continue to push this absurdity are either deranged or engaged in disinfo. To even consider that Mueller and Sessions were engaged in some elaborate plot that was five cognitive dimensions ahead of what we mere mortals were capable of comprehending, was laughable.

I’m thinking people will get frustrated and just simply quit voting.

[TigerClaws]

Good summary!

More drastic moves by Trump are necessary. Needs to clean house. Not sure if even he can pull that off. The rot is widespread - as you documented.

[thinden]

Its because these people are in bed with the Clintons how do you think they have been able to get away with MURDER for the past 30 days

It can’t be denied any longer: Sessions needs to go.

Trump is being malserved by many in his cabinet and administration. And I had believed he’d be such a good judge of character.

[ManHunter]

After some further deliberation about Sessions and the accusations against Roy Moore, I’m thinking those women must’ve gotten the two good ole boy attorneys mixed up...

[RummyChick]

I tend to believe LS was being used to spread propaganda for some purpose but he really believed what he was told from his “sources”.

[TigersEye]

The fix is in.

[Sarah Barracuda]

my bad stupid auto correct it changed years to days..I meant to type in years obviously NOT days LOL

[odawg]

I see no reason to believe that Sessions said he did not remember having a meeting with the Greek.

He also used the words “I do not recall.” He has come to that.

[Eleutheria5]

I apologize for anything I ever said defending this numbnut AG.

[surrey]

How did Hillary get the FBI files?
If I recall, she just asked for them.
