23 people ask the Justice Department to launch a criminal inquiry into its chief, Jeff Sessions

Nearly two dozen people from five states are accusing Attorney General Jeff Sessions of lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee about his communications with the Russian government and subsequently trying to cover up that lie, according to a complaint sent to the Department of Justice.

The complaint, which names 23 residents, states that Sessions gave false and misleading testimony during his confirmation hearing in January when he told the Senate committee that he "did not have communications with the Russians." It further accuses the attorney general of covering up the alleged perjury by directing a spokeswoman to make a public statement saying he did not mislead the committee.

"We feel there is probable cause to charge him with a crime," J. Whitfield Larrabee, a Massachusetts lawyer who represents the 23 residents, told The Washington Post. "We want indictments in the case. We want Attorney General Sessions to be treated just the same as anyone else. We don't think that just because he's the attorney general, that there should be a higher standard to bring charges against him."

Only 23?

I’d have bet the entire membership of the DNC would have done so.

Meanwhile Hillary and Bill Clinton are sitting on a $145 million dollar payoff that was given to the Clinton Foundation
by the stockholders of the Canadian company, Uranium One.

That is the company that held mining rights to about 20% of US uranium deposits.

Uranium One was purchased by the Russians with the approval of Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton.
That deal gave the Russians control over the company's US uranium rights.

The dirty details of the Clintons' "Pay For Play" deals are documented in this book:

I know EO’ are not equal to the other branches of the government...

You said he is about to max them out....

Just wondering why you would say something not remotely correct.

As far as I’m concerned he can write 10,000 of them.

If The democrats are going to make Congress not function by obstruction, so be it...

There’s a reason, not just political stuff, that a massive overwhelming attempt is being made to A) bring down this administration and B) Start a war with Russia.

The same as always - Money and Power; Power and Money.

Even in our deteriorated post-Obama condition the USA is still the biggest prize on earth - the goose that still lays the golden eggs.

So what? Twenty three thousand people demand that the entire staff of the Wash (com)post be staked out over ant hills. More of the “hate Trump” frenzy that has been going on from the left since the witch lost. Phoney polls. Fake news. Quotes from nobodies like Maxine Wacky Waters and national embarrassment John Lewis. The list is endless.

Meanwhile horrors like the rape of a 14 yo girl by illegal immigrants get buried because the facts don’t fit the liberals false narriative.

Ha!

23 people that most likely should be behind bars for collusion with 0bama, Holder and Lynch.

Well, we will soon see how far all the EO’s can go, before being over ruled in some lower court.

[tinyowl]

"Nearly two dozen people from five states"

That's almost as many as eleventy thousand.

< Twenty-three people complained? Well, ain’t that special.

Well now Trump knows who to fire.

actually I think the Iris should be auditing anyone above a certain paygrade in the federal bureaucracy. I think we have a lot of corrupt bureaucrats.

It’s not difficult to see that these are communist/socialist/fascist revolutionaries who will not peacefully relinquish the power they have enjoyed over Americans for decades.

Sadly, it WILL get worse until one side wins and purges the other side.

I’d like to see this cabal of seditionists arrested. Punks. Lunatics.

if the Russian ambass. was roaming the halls of the Senate, I’m sure Sessions wasn’t the only one he talked to. In fact, he’s a darling of the DC cocktail circuit - almost entirely attended by Dems.
