Just like Jeffery told Jim Jordan last month that he would look at a special counsel. Sure Jeff pull our leg some more.

When I watched the video of him making that statement, I don’t want to say my jaw hit the floor, but to hear him lay out exactly what I think was going on, in a public hearing...clearly...concisely...hitting all the points...well, I was flabbergasted.

I know some people say Jordan shouldn’t have gone at it that way, but...I am sick of two or three hours of blather, and having it so disjointed that nobody besides people like us would be able to string it together and express to someone else.

Jordan did all that for us. I loved it.

Sessions was a deep state plant form the git-go.

“I don’t share the view that the FBI is not functioning at a high level all over the country...”

Can be parsed, fer sure.

AG Sessions is dysfunctional and a pariah to President Trump, thus causing Trump to become a pariah to the rule of law

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Friday the Justice Department "will take seriously concerns that have been expressed" about bias within the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but defended the agency against suggestions it was dysfunctional.

"I don't share the view that the FBI is not functioning at a high level all over the country," Sessions told a news conference, following a growing chorus of accusations by Republicans, including President Donald Trump, that its agents were letting political bias seep into their investigations.

Is the FBI still doing some good work related to crime across the nation? Probably so. That doesn't that there aren't some problems, and I think he's aware of them.

If I thought he had no qualms about what is going on in the FBI, I'd pretty rather angry about it, frankly.

Jordan was a stud in that hearing

Mr. Stud needs to hold someone in jail for contempt of Congress until that FISA request is produced.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Translation:

Patience, grasshopper. I can’t talk about it yet (the coming takedown of Obama/Clinton gang).

This is getting beyond the pale of sanity. The text messages are pretty damning to just an ordinary person reading them for the first time.

Dysfunctional is being quite kind to Sessions; he needs to resign and let someone else take over the office. For whatever reason, he is a major roadblock that needs to lead, follow or get out of the way.

I would feel much better if the AG would express serious concerns about the manipulating of justice by the FBI and DOJ and that he will work tirelessly to get to the bottom of the matter and prosecute wherever violations are found regardless of who it might be. Can you say those words AG Jeff Sessions??

I don’t doubt the dead doctor was a warning to Sessions to fall in line to protect the Clintons, OR ELSE.

So Sessions is defending the FBI, which his boss obviously think’s is “in tatters” and corrupt. Why does this guy have a job, again?

Not much else he could say. He needs the loyalty of the rank and file if he’s going to be able to do his job. The bias evidence I’ve seen concerns a few Trumphaters in the senior ranks and on Mueller’s staff.

One of the GOP members of the House Judiciary Oversight Committee said yesterday he had read over 375 of the text messages/emails; he said many of them were too vile and obscene to read out loud during the hearing. He should have read the most vile ones out loud, put the hate and filth of Peter S and his whore on full public display.

Why are my fellow FReepers so panicked? Our enemies are twisting in the wind and soiling their pants while Trump and Sessions watch in amusement. We don’t know what the DOJ is actually doing behind the scenes - nor should we at this point - but something has the bad guys terrified. Gears are turning and the Deep State feels it. Panicked people make stupid decisions, and more incriminating evidence is being uncovered every day. There is no need to rush when all the facts are on your side. Time will tell.

Please. That’s like saying nobody will be found guilty in the Bundy trials vs. BLM.

No matter one was killed before trial, those arrested *wishing* they were treated like those @ Gitmo, days/years of their life/liberty/rights GONE...

While, any/all branches of the govt caught in the act/house of cards finally falls, it’s *firing* time (at best)...

Sessions, the best friend the Deep State\GOP(e) could ever wish for. Go back to sleep, after you retire, you F* fraud!
