Hillary is not a “political foe”. She is a criminal.
“When you vote, you are a citizen,” speaketh the leftists’ god the Fraud.
Sorry for the double post!
I just read he is in favor of “red flag” laws.
He’s another Swamp Creature, there to feed and protect Fedzilla.
“I have no knowledge of Uranium One.”
***************
As a denizen of the DC Swamp that has to be a disingenuous statement. If there’s one thing in Washington that everyone pays attention to its a political scandal. Big or small, they’re up on it.
Something doesn’t smell right about this guy.
Exactly right. He’s got swamp water dripping off him.
Pull his nomination already

Hell no !
He keeps repeating how he doesn’t need this job...wonder if he feels like he can be a hero and “keep Trump in line” as the libs would like.
Trump picked him, so, hopefully he’s the best available.
Why is this jerk even in the short list?
my confidence in this appointment is slipping daily
NO Sessions Part 2 !
He was right the first time.
Friend of Herr Mueller who thinks Herr Mueller is a man of integrity and wants tolet teh witchhunt continue.
Backing off investigating the Klintoon Foundation and related matters.
Thinks the Fourteenth grants birthright citizenship.
Why are we supposd to support this guy???
Look at the smirk on his face in virtually every picture.
“Trump picked him, so, hopefully he’s the best available.”
On bad advice again I believe.
