Trump tweets: 'Disgraceful' that Sessions kicked surveillance probe to Obama appointee
MSN News ^ | 2/28/2018 | Dan Mangan

President Trump calls a decision by Attorney General Jeff Sessions "disgraceful" in a tweet.

Sessions has repeatedly angered Trump in moves related to a probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump's tweet refers to Sessions' recent decision to have the Justice Department's inspector general review a request by prosecutors and the FBI to monitor Trump campaign official Carter Page and his suspected contacts with Russians.

"Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!"

President Trump is right.

Sessions is useless. He is part of the problem. Get rid of him.

Tell me about it, I’ve been saying that all year. If this is his idea of “draining the swamp” he hasn’t even made it to pulling the plug yet

Amen.

As Harry Truman said, if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Trump has every right to fire Sessions, and he should.
The Left will wail and moan, but let them.

Bitching about this on Twitter just makes him look weak.

Why is he posting this on Twitter? Why doesn’t he call Sessions into his office and tell him to get his act together or he is FIRED?

I’m convinced appointing Sessions had to be some kind of secret deal Trump was forced to make to have peace with the top RINOs in late 2016.

Trump needs to send a tweet to Trump to tell him that it is a disgrace that Jeff Sessions still has a job.

A red herring for the media to chase down. Trump is trying to make everyone think he’s upset with Sessions so Sessions doesn’t appear to be in Trump’s pocket. He probably called him this morning and told him, “Wait to you see the next one about you I tweet out. You’ll have a good laugh.”

Opinion: Sessions will be gone soon. He does not know what his job is. And he accomplishes NOTHING.

The broader conclusion is that US Senators are basically WORTHLESS and being in the Senate essentially qualifies you for NOTHING!

Trump needed to pick a tough prosecutor who was on OUR side.

Sessions is surrounded by Obama holdovers in the DOJ. More than likely he is more under their control than Trumps. Trump should fire the wimp and get somebody with cajones to lead the DOJ and clean the f’n swamp.

Trump clearing the way for a special prosecutor

Aside from the obvious conflicts of interest , obstruction and outright corruption in the DOJ and FBI preventing the DOJ/FBI from investigating itself, an IG does not have the jurisdiction to investigate across DOJ , FBI, CIA, NSA , DHS and other Executive branch agencies , nor does the IG have jurisdiction to look at Congress or the Judicial branch

The only way at this point is a special prosecutor. BTW, what is holding up the IG report? Political pressure and interference?

LOL. Sunshine pump all you wish but there is no scenario that POTUS would prefer another 1 1/2 year long internal”investigation” in FISA court. We need criminal investigations and prosecutions ASAP.
