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.
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.
