If Sessions stays in the job, he should put a timetable on the Mueller investigation, giving it a deadline to yield proof of collusion. If the clock runs out and there is no proof of misconduct by the President Sessions should blow the whistle
Swamp draining is not genteel work. And Jeff Sessions, the consummate gentlemen, has not yet displayed the grit required for that work.
As Senator Sessions from Alabama, he was a model of decorum, dignity and collegial demeanor in the U.S. Senate. He was, and remains, loyal to his state, to his family, and to his oath of office—a good and honorable man.
Then they should have vetted these people better before nominating them. What a friggin waste of time and money. It looks like they didn’t know what they were doing.
Hell done froze over... you commented.
Completely agree. Fire him immediately. Bending over to your enemies doesn’t work - and has never worked.
Wait for the August recess, Fire Sessions, appoint a Pit Bull, and let loose the Pit of War.
Sessions does not work with an audience. Everything he does is behind the scenes until it is ready for disposition.
You want him pounding his fist and screaming into a mike. Ridiculous!
Yesterday this needs to be done. I have been saying this for 2 months. Sessions is hamstrung by his recusal. Fire him. Get someone who can act. It is like the AG is just absentt MIA.
Sessions could be the undoing of Trump. Most of Trump’s trouble could be traced back to appointing Sessions as AG and, to a lesser extent, retaining Comey as FBI director.
Sessions shouldn’t have recused himself & should rescind the recusal.
Having said that, Sessions has been great so far on illegal immigrants. He wants them out & doesn’t care if they label him a racist or other names. It would be hard to find another person dedicated to eliminating illegals. Sessions resignation is exactly what the open borders crowd wants.
Trump ‘Abolished’ Obama-era Deportation Postponement for Illegal Aliens, Says Report
In the immortal words of Leo Durocher,”NICE GUYS FINISH LAST”
POTUS, Take Note !!
In his testimony before Congress, Sessions defend one man, Himself, not a word of Defense of the President.
As Rush said, this investigation is based on Comey being fired. But this is not a crime. The FBI Director serves at the pleasure of the President and can be fired for any reason. And since there is no underlying crime, there is no legitimate reason for a Special Counsel.
Screaming or quietly behind the scenes. He screwed up royally by deciding to recuse himself. He needs to go. NOW. Him and Mueller.
This is correct. Almost every single appointment remains questionable, months after being set into place.
I’ve heard reports that the president just will not listen to most people for advice. Which is why it’s been difficult to find qualified lawyers to who may be needed to defend his personal finances or his executive orders.
Most times, his executive orders are thrown out by any old judge. Trumps lawyers never seem able to persuade these judges to stop making law from the bench.
Wouldn’t he need to show that collusion is even a crime before anything else? If there is no crime there should be no investigation.
So the other blogpimp I've been watching is w1n1, who actually also commented today, because he messed up a title. So he's human too, mostly posts about dumbasses doing dumbass things with firearms.
His website is completely unreadable. Shame, too, some of the articles I’d actually like to read but every visit brings about Stuxnet-grade device crashes.
I totally agree.
On top of that, Jeff Sessions is appearing more and more like an old school authoritarian with respect to individual rights. His embrace of strict enforcement of marijuana laws (the unconstitutional federal kind) was absurd, as was his stated intention of using Tyrannical civil asset forfeiture even more aggressively.
Donald Trump has historically been more libertarian-minded on many issues, and these old hard Right nanny-state solutions have failed just a miserably as the hard Left nanny-state ones have.
Combine that with Sessions' meek demeanor, and he's simply the wrong person at the wrong time in the wrong position.
He deserved to be rewarded for his loyalty to Trump, but how did he answer that loyalty? By panicking and recusing himself when it wasn't necessary, and without even consulting the President who appointed him!
“giving it a deadline to yield proof of collusion”
Rosenstein didn’t even put that parameter on it. It’s open ended, just “find something, anything”.
The Special Counsel law was not put into effect for the benefit of the opposing party to use the justice system to harass the winner of an election.
Rosenstein had no right to invoke it in this case because he was the one who wrote the memo recommending Comey be terminated. Did he recuse himself because he feels he’s now part of an “obstruction” case?
At the very minimum, Rosenstein SHOULD have put parameters on the investigation, but he didn’t.
Which to me means he’s part of the conspiracy to frame Trump for something, anything. It’s a set from the get.
And there is no authority to do so to an elected President just because the opposing party can’t figure out who’s leaking information from their email servers.
