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

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."

"Leaked" transcripts? That's a frickin' joke. There are no leakers in the Trump WH. The vengeful Obama bugged everything in the WH to get damaging stuff on Trump.

Pres Trump (and the Congress) should find out the whereabouts of the old govt-issue computers Obama removed from the White House before he left. The old computers are official US Government property laden w/ rules, regs, and laws.

<><> the old govt-issue White House computers may have been relocated to Obama’s OFA operations center in his DC rental house....just a couple miles from the WH.

<><>the govt-issue computers would show what Obama knew, and when he knew it, as well as any email he had with the buck-raking Clintons, and the Paki spies.

<><> the computers could expose Obama’s disloyalty to Americans....... and to his party.

<><> the missing computers are the only known electronic links to Obama’s clandestine operations and could be used as evidence of impropriety.

Well, at least you are one of the few that has an inkling about how devastating the Awan story is. The Awans make the Rosenbergs look like kids at play.

And by the way, the House has just recently stopped the use of Blackberries but the Senate, as usual, continues on without a clue.

As Webb & Goodman asked the question, who in the hell uses Blackberries these days?

And yet there is still a phone store in the basement of Congress lined with nothing but Blackberry models.

The Awans were capturing everything of hundreds of staffers and members of Congress just by walking in its corridors and having all the Blackberry devices sync up to a Blackberry laptop held under the arm.

And the Chinook Seal Team that was shot down? The Yemen raid ambush? All those details are heavily suspected to have been captured on a Blackberry laptop syncing up with staffers and members of Congress on sensitive committees.

And these matters don’t even scratch the surface.

The shortest version is that Dirty Cop McCabe had to arrest Awan at Dulles because the charges were levied by a high profile source. And now the story is buried.

The story is far from buried despite the MSM's attempt to cover it up or minimize it. Fox is covering it as is talk radio and the internet.

Awan will be prosecuted in the courts. No matter how much the MSM obfuscates the facts of the case, Awan will be prosecuted and the facts will come out.

So for now, take note that you need to come up to speed badly. If you really want to educate yourself, start by finding two Youtube channels, one for George Webb and the other for Jason Goodman.

I have been following the case closely for months. I think Webb is not the most reliable of sources, and I put that mildly. He is a nut case. Citing him undermines the real case against Awan. The Left is already describing this as some kind of right wing conspiracy case to discredit it. They used successfully the same tactics on the Seth Rich case.

I am up to speed. You need to get up to speed on the magnificent job Sessions is doing at DOJ.

Sessions is not the enemy. He is trying to drain the swamp.

Here are what some of the enemies of Jeff Sessions are saying (go to the articles for the specific accomplishments):

Jeff Sessions has done more damage in his first 100 days than his boss

US attorney general Jeff Sessions may not be part of the biggest investigation in the Department of Justice, but as he reaches 100 days in office, there’s little doubt that he’s had an important impact on the American criminal-justice system—potentially for years to come.

Despite the political turmoil of the Trump administration, Sessions has moved to reverse a tide of progressive reform and to fulfill his boss’s law-and-order agenda, a collection of concepts loosely articulated during the 2016 presidential campaign. Sessions’ biggest actions, from undermining federal oversight of police departments to cracking down on undocumented immigrants, have worried a wide array of lawmakers, law-enforcement leaders, advocates and scientists.

“Of all the cabinet members, maybe even the president, he has to this point had the most significant impact as to policy changes,” said Jesselyn McCurdy, the deputy director at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Washington Legislative Office told Quartz.

Unlike his boss, Sessions is delivering on what he has promised—sometimes on causes he has championed for decades.

“There’s been a great bipartisan movement by organizations on the ground and members of Congress to reform the federal criminal-justice system, based on successes that have happened in the states, but the leader of opposition to that reform was Jeff Sessions, as a senator from Alabama,” McCurdy said. “These are all things that [Sessions], as a criminal justice reform opponent, had on his radar already.

McCurdy said Sessions was “definitely” living up to the ACLU’s concerns, and in some areas, fulfilling the worst-case scenarios.

Jeff Sessions ushers in 'Trump era' at the Justice Department

In just over two months, Sessions has proved to be a central figure in effectuating Trump's vision for America in tangible ways on immigration, crime, police reform and civil rights.

And while the White House searches for new messaging to frame what Trump has accomplished in the first 100 days in office, Sessions has single-handedly managed to make several significant domestic policy changes -- from pressing pause on implementing police reforms to withdrawing Obama-era protections for transgender students in public schools.

His radical transformation of the Justice Department's role is no accident.

Many of the changes Sessions has made thus far track a familiar principle of federalism: the notion that the federal government's powers are limited and it can't coerce states into action. In other words, the federal government should get out of the states' way.

Sessions' critics worry that he is well on his way to undoing many of the major progressive achievements of his predecessors, often by withdrawing from court cases or previous directives that fail to align with his views. Yet Trump supporters cheered Sessions on during the presidential campaign when he said, "the American people are not happy with their government."

Now that Sessions is the nation's top law enforcement officer, his defenders and critics universally agree: he's been busy fulfilling the President's campaign promises and he's just getting started.

I want to know what the feckless SOB has to say about the fact that the very appointment of Bob “Mr. Clean” Mueller, “The First Witch Hunter” (apologies to Vin Diesel) clearly violates the special counsel statute on multiple levels. The fact that he has “convened” a grand jury - one of the most dangerous tools available to the US legal system - in DC is a very non-trivial matter. Moreover, I’d like to know precisely who advised Trump to appoint Rod Rosenstein (DAG) and H.R. McMaster and who “encouraged” Sessions to recuse himself from the “Russia, Russia, Russia” B.S. so quickly.

My money’s on Mike Pence. Given that none other than Pence has been conducting his own fundraising and shadow campaign and having private meetings with House and Senate members, not to mention the fact that he dispatched one of the earliest and most fervent Trump supporters and one of the first appointed - Mike Flynn - to usher McMaster in as NSA, who is now systematically purging the NSC of Trump supporters. (WTF?) Keep in mind that Flynn was a staunch opponent of the Iran deal - which McMaster fully supports - and believed that the US could woo Russia away from Iran by softening sanctions. (I have known Mike Flynn for 24 years.) As more and more details emerge, I’m more and more convinced that Pence is not on our side, McMaster is the defacto commanding general of the deep state, Rosentein is the consigliere for the deep state and Sessions is the crazy old uncle sitting in the lawn chair muttering unintelligibly.

I just wonder what the hell Trump is thinking and how he let all of these foxes in the hen house if he’s so damned smart. Yeah, I know I’ll get flamed, but can any of you honestly say that any of the aforementioned people - with the exception of Mike Flynn - is actually working on behalf of the president’s agenda?

> “The story is far from buried despite the MSM’s attempt to cover it up or minimize it. Fox is covering it as is talk radio and the internet.”

No kabar, the story is buried with a few squeaks here and there, but it is buried for all practical purposes.

The only thing that can bring the story back to the front pages is an Attorney General that is up to the job.

Trust me, the Awan that was arrested will skate. He has already had his charges altered, released on bail without the identity of the bail poster. He has a very high profile Clinton attorney representing him. His appearance at his arraignment was CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC! No photos were taken as no photos were allowed and reporters were not allowed to get close. The entire ordeal smells to high heavens and was predicted because there is no one working the case in the AG’s office.

It was the Capital Police that brought the charges so McCabe couldn’t ignore it. But as soon as he had Awan arrested, he did everything possible to ensure the story got buried and the prosecution squelched.

Wake up Kabar. You are in denial.
