Perhaps he was trying to publicly boost morale of the rank and file. Hopefully, a majority of them are good people.

I’m not invested in any politician, and certainly not in any political appointee. I judge our so-called ‘public servants’ on their merits, or lack thereof.

In the case of Jeff Sessions, I judge him to be incompetent, cowardly, deluded, or worse - compromised in some fashion, due to his complete failure to address or handle what is turning out to be the biggest incidence of conspiracy to commit treason in our nation’s history.

If you want to believe he’s building an ironclad case against the Deep State conspirators in secret, you go right ahead. I see absolutely zero evidence of that. What I DO see, is mounting circumstantial evidence that he is doing nothing, and is turning his back on the President and his country.

Time has already told. The evidence is out there, but rather than prosecuting the clearly guilty, the political class is giving itself a pass again and taking low level bureaucrats along for the ride.

So in your professional opinion as a criminal prosecutor, is the evidence now in hand sufficient to indict all of the conspirators and convict them all at trial? Should you risk everything on a quick prosecution of the leaders, gambling that you have enough and that they will betray their underlings? Or do you squeeze your way up the food chain as the underlings yield more and more evidence against their bosses? Of those two, which are we more likely witnessing right now?

Sessions will do nothing because that is all he has ever done.

Do you know anything about Sessions's six years as Assistant U.S. Attorney and twelve years as U.S. Attorney? I suggest that Sessions learned a bitter lesson from his failed prosecution of three Black activists for voter fraud and ballot tampering. In controversial political cases, it is not enough to simply prove that politically protected defendants are guilty; you must prove their guilt beyond any shadow of doubt in order to overwhelm their hostile partisan sympathizers. Sessions is not going to make that same mistake with the Clinton mob, against whom his case gets stronger every day with each new revelation.

The wait may be tough on us, but it is excruciating for Hillary, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, et al. Time is on our side.

Sessions has said NOTHING to reassure Americans that these
agencies will be fixed. He does not even acknowledge in rare public
statements that anything is wrong.

He does not have to wait for anything to step out and make such
a statement. It’s called leadership. Sessions is AWOL when his moral
leadership is needed most.

It doesn’t really change the gist of what I said though.

Yeah. The gist is you're clueless.

It is not the attorney general's job to reassure Americans of anything, or to step out and make statements; those are jobs for the president. Jeff Sessions is the attorney general, our chief lawyer and head of the Justice Department. His work will speak for itself in due time.

Neither. You are seeing a bunch of career politicians sweeping wrongdoing under the rug just as they have done countless times before. Meanwhile, the mere accusation of such would completely destroy the life of your average non-beltway denizen.

Mueller will continue to persecute Trump associates for meaningless process crimes, probably throughout Trump's term. Dull-witted cheerleaders will feed themselves on outrage, and keep waiting for justice that never comes because the political class will never subject itself to the justice system. They just keep the fake outrage going to garner votes.

Of course it’s his job. He runs both DOJ and the FBI.
Trump does not run either.

It’s Sessions job to run both agencies in a professional and fair
manner. It IS his job to reassure Americans that these agencies
will be fixed.

But first he has to acknowledge there are huge problems.
Which he refuses to do.

America is not a 12-step program and we are not adolescents requiring comfort from our hurt feelings. I don’t care what Sessions says in public; the attorney general’s job should be done in silence until charges are filed.

He is not doing anything.
He recused himself from everything.

In fact, his recusal is the reason a special counsel
was appointed.

He has done great harm to Trump and Flynn because of his recusal.
And to Trump’s agenda.

That is impossible for you to know. In fact, if the attorney general is doing his job, we shouldn't know about it until charges are filed and warrants served.

He recused himself from everything.

That is simply incorrect. The only thing that Sessions recused himself from is the investigation of the Trump campaign and its possible collusion with the Russian government -- a false premise for which there is zero evidence. But the product of all the evidence that has been discovered is going to please us both, because it implicates the Clintons and their cronies with Russian bribery as well as their plots and schemes to cover it up.

These are sleepless nights for the likes of Clinton, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Ohr, Page, and others we don't yet know about. They are marked, and time is not on their side.

Ummmm - would not be the smartest thing for one who relies on the FBI for so much to say it is totally screwed up and so dirty that nothing coming from it can be trusted....what fills in if it is determined the whole of the FBI is defunct......unless someone thinks he should respond “Yes” to the question, “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”

His work will speak for itself in due time.

And when is that?

In the interim the media continue to gleefully bash our President on a daily basis (and will continue to do so) as long as this corrupted circus is allowed to continue.

As for Sessions work will speak for itself: My impression is that it is hard to get any work done when you are hiding under your desk.
