Attorney General Jeff Sessions to hold news conference on leak investigations Friday
CBS News ^

Posted on 08/04/2017 3:32:48 AM PDT by bryan999

Attorney General Jeff Sessions will hold a press conference announcing on-going leak investigations on Friday.

The investigations into various government leaks have "been in the works for some time," an official familiar with the matter told CBS News' Paula Reid.

It is expected that leaks related to the Manchester terror attack will be part of the Justice Department's investigation, as well as other leaks of sensitive information to the media.

Sessions recently faced criticism from President Trump for not being "tougher on the leaks from the intelligence agencies."

While it is atypical for the Department of Justice to announce investigations, the attorney general issued a statement in May hinting at potential leak investigations.

"These leaks cannot be tolerated and we will make every effort to put an end to it," Sessions' statement reads, referencing the Manchester terror attack leaks. "We have already initiated appropriate steps to address these rampant leaks that undermine our national security."

Good morning Free Republic !

Anyone know what time today this is all going down?

Also - does anyone remember who's birthday it is today...? I'm now wondering if this was all timed to coincide...? Hmmmm...

Yes, it is the alleged birthday of a baby once named “Barack Hussein”, born in Hawaii. I still wonder whether that announcement was planted to justify citizenship for the baby, and whether the baby who finally left our White House this year has any real connection to the baby allegedly born in Hawaii in 1961.

Keep DWS swinging in the wind for a while to loosen her up to see just how much more she can hang herself, just as she is doing now by saying she would do nothing different. Just keep diggin Blabbermouth.

Investigations go on behind closed doors.....until something is ready for disposition. If you haven’t picked up on the pattern....you’re not paying attention.

If all Sessions is going to do is announce he is conducting investigations, my attitude is so what. Wake me up when there are actual indictments, starting with former FBI director Comey’s admission of leaking while under oath. And actual indictments soon, not years from now.

I would like to see him appoint a Special Prosecutor to go after Lynch, Comey, and Clinton as he has been asked to do:

I think Chris Christie is looking for something to do.

I have been paying attention.

The Awan investigation is gift-wrapped with a fancy bow just waiting for Sessions to pickup. But Sessions has done nothing.

Sessions is a derelict or a dunce, possibly both.

The latest on Wasserman-Shultz was known long ago by George Webb.

Find George Webb on Youtube and pay attention.

Sessions is a member in good standing (see senate's move to protect him during recess) of the DC elite establishment, otherwise known as The Swamp. He is not going to do things to help this President, but will only put on a show on the margins, as all good Swamp Critters do.

There is so much Democrat corruption and lawlessness - it is time to go after ALL of them. We are all sick and tired of the Dems skating by because Republicans in Congress are too wimpy to uphold the law.

Sessions became a Senator and forgot how to be a prosecutor.

As the President implied, Sessions should never have accepted the job if he was intending to recuse himself.

He’s an Alabaman good old boy in way over his head.

The time for making apologies for Sessions is over.

No way. Sessions is a patriot and he and Trump are on the same page.

I think we’re all going to be pleasantly surprised today.

I just wish I knew what time this is all going down...
