Nice Straw Man argument. But we’re talking about the Democrat precinct committeemen over at the FBI, not the brave go-getters at ICE.
I agree with your last paragraph completely: Sessions belongs over at Homeland Security. The DOJ has proven to be an awful fit for him. His forte was always border security.
It is surprising that President Trump hasn’t yet said (to paraphrase Lincoln): “Jeff. If you aren’t going to use my Dept. of Justice, may I have it back?” But it took Abe quite a while before he took it back from McClellan. Hopefully before too long President Trump will move Jeff Sessions where he can do something besides defend `deep state’: here, the corrupted federal bureau of investigation.
“Sessions belongs over at Homeland Security. The DOJ has proven to be an awful fit for him. His forte was always border security.”
If sessions is so good on border security and illegal immigration, why isn’t he prosecuting leftist pols and officials in California for harboring illegal aliens?
“Straw Man argument.”
I’m not sure what you mean. Trump was speaking at the FBI academy. Regardless, Trump likes cops and law enforcement. Always has, it is a common stump message. But he hates corrupt bureau-crats. Always has, again common stump theme.
If I made it poorly above, I apologize, but the point is that he is able to admire and thank the bulk of the enforcers and still rip into their top, mostly political appointee, hierarchy.
Sessions is certainly talented and capable enough to be successful anywhere. But his experiences include being US Attorney, AG of AL, etc. AG is a good fit -vs- DHS, in my less-than-qualified opinion. Anyway, I am not questioning Trump’s current placement of the chess pieces. Either way, if folks think Jeff would be better elsewhere, then that is a criticism of Trump, not Sessions.
Thanks for the reasoned remarks, that is refreshing.
I certainly hope we don’t get to the point of using Abe-level tactics. Suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, etc. We are far from civil war at this point.
However, I have always liked the quote you mention - Abe had a great sense of humor too!
