It's been painful to listen to many on team MAGA complain about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, accusing him of ineptness and promoting the narrative that he needs to resign. This idiocy has spread to knowledgeable right-leaning media personalities that clearly have no idea what's happening, and don't appreciate the size and scope of what Sessions has been undertaking.
The primary focus of Attorney General Sessions is to restore integrity and honor to the Department of Justice. He has been doing an excellent job running a tight ship and keeping details about ongoing investigations confidential. AG Sessions is doing everything to the letter of the law.
After Jeff Sessions was confirmed, the line of whistle-blowers outside his office must have been as long as a Bernie Sanders-style USSR breadline. Sessions' entire time as head of the DOJ has been one giant sting operation. The Clintons and Obama officials have been exposed. Long term FBI employees have been demoted and fired, while others provide witness testimony. Being a member of the deep-state isn't as fun as it used to be.
AG Sessions, likely last summer and unbeknownst to everyone, appointed a special prosecutor from outside the swamp of DC, all the while Trump supporters, including congressional committees, yelled for him to “do his damn job” and appoint one. I suppose Sessions got tired of listening to them cry like uninformed children when he he disclosed the name of the prosecutor: US Attorney John Huber from Utah.
"I am confident that Mr. Huber's review will include a full, complete and objective evaluation of these matters in a manner that is consistent with the law and facts. I receive regular updates from Mr. Huber and upon the conclusion of his review, will receive his recommendations as to whether any matters not currently under investigation should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any matters merit the appointment of a special counsel."
Jeff Sessions disclosed he had the prosecutor a few weeks before he named Huber, yet nobody was able to discover his name. Nobody. A few weeks later, he decided to disclose the name. Mr. Huber is the LEAD prosecutor, which means there are more than one prosecutor working in-step with Mr. Horowitz. Nobody knew it. Think about that.
I have no doubt the uninformed will complain about something else in lieu of common sense, but that's expected. The Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, announced an investigation into the FISA abuse. I heard the uninformed complain that this is happening so late, but that's because, again, they're uninformed and aren't curious about what's happening with their country. Instead, they like to throw temper tantrums. Inspector Horowitz and his staff of 500 attorneys and prosecutors collected 1.2 million documents of evidence. This work does not need to be done again, as they have everything. The scope of his original investigation allowed for him to go down other rabbit holes as he found them. This announcement by Horowitz simply is a means to create a new specific report destined for the special prosecutor.
Sessions is Horowitz's boss. Sessions is FBI Director Christopher Wray's boss, who doubled his staff to comply with congressional document requests. Sessions is Rod Rosenstein's boss. Sessions is also the boss of the US District Attorneys. Currently, there are over 25,000 sealed indictments spread over the 94 federal districts across the United States. That is many times more than what is typical, as that number was racked up over the last 8 months. A lot of criminals are going down. This is all under Jeff Sessions. Sessions is also going after sanctuary cities, rolling up human traffickers, fighting illegal immigration, investigating leakers, and when he has some free time, he likes to take tours of GTMO.
The reason why many are upset with Jeff Sessions is because Hillary Clinton is still free. We're all brainwashed to think the Clintons aren't going to be brought to justice. I have that Pavlovian response as well. If you've followed them for the past few decades, you've seen them slither away countless times as others are arrested or put underground. They've been able to accomplish this under the umbrella of the Bushes, Clinton, and Obama, and recently under a Holder and Lynch DOJ.
Not under President Trump, and not under a DOJ with Jeff Sessions as the helm.
Investigations take time. It's frustrating when you see a criminal walk around in broad daylight, but these people have some of the best attorneys in the world. If there is any gray area for a mistrial, they will seize it. Therefore, investigators must make sure everything is done by the book with no chance for prosecutorial misconduct. Would you rather her be indicted now and go free from a mistrial, or wait a little longer and have a clean, slam-dunk prosecution?
In 2014, ex-California State Senator Leland Yee was indicted for a laundry list of crimes, including weapons trafficking. He was just sentenced this February, four years later. He received five years, which seems like a slap on the wrist, so clearly was singing like a little birdie. How many others were arrested? How many of those flipped? How many are connected to the Clintons? This was a large sting, but compared to the Clintons and their decades of crime, this was stealing a pack of gum.
Last month we learned there's an empaneled grand jury, likely for the handling of the Clinton email investigation. That means indictments are coming soon. Andrew McCabe kicked off a legal defense fund. Robert Mueller complied with Judge Sullivan's order to turn over exculpatory evidence in the Michael Flynn case. It's likely Flynn will be exonerated. The wheels of justice are turning and things are moving forward, and Hillary Clinton's day is coming, as is Obama's.
All of this is happening under the Attorney General. He has been orchestrating a masterful takedown of these criminals. All other crimes aside, remember they attempted to take down the American President and rig our election -- not just sweep a massive national security scandal under the rug. They will not go unpunished. The MSM will react by framing this as a political takedown, led by President Trump, which they're already doing after the President ordered an investigation into the spying by the Obama administration. Since Sessions did everything by the book, we will have a mountain of indisputable evidence to negate such accusations.
Don't listen to the parrots on the news channels. The more they talk, the more they prove how little they follow the actual news. They are reacting like brats because they aren't accostomed to not receiving leaks from the DOJ. When the hammer comes down, it will be glorious.
Sessions is AWOL on the biggest scandals in American history. He’s one dark spot in the Trump presidency. He never should have recused himself. If he couldn’t do the job he should have resigned. He would have done so long ago if he had any integrity or shame. He’s an enabler for the Deep State coup attempt.
“Well, Recuuuuuuuuse Me!”
Finally, someone other than me understands how much Sessions is recused from and how little effect he can have.
Nope. Nobody in Washington D.C. is smart enough or discreet enough to pull that off. Not in this hyper-information age.
Sessions betrayed Trump and us from the very moment that he recused himself, and he is the biggest roadblock to clearing the swamp.
And mine
This post needs a humor tag. He's not cleaned out the corrupt mess. He's stonewalled and enabled.
“Someone else remembers “Quidam”. “
And don’t forget “Deep in the Huertgen Forest” who was continually intimating predictions of powerful Democrats who were supposedly just on their way to the Oval Office to inform Clinton it was all over for him and it was time to resign.
Is it against the law to lie about recusing one's self?
Is it against the law to UN-recuse and not tell anybody?
A flea’s life SPAN is 6 weeks.
Sessions has had twelve flea GENERATIONS to indict anyone.
My attention span is exceedingly long, and Sessions lost me in March, more than a YEAR of nothing.
“I don’t really care for people supporting corrupt politicians.”
I think your opinion that Sessions is a corrupt politician has about equal merit with EEE’s theory. The proof is not absolutely clear yet. Time will tell.
It’s even remotely possible that the reality is somewhere in the middle. It is possible that Sessions is a pretty good AG, with noble intentions, and up against some impossible situations with the Deep State and, so, must pick the battles he can win.
His recusal and not telling Trump his intentions in advance makes me lean toward him being in on the Deep State conspiracy. But he has led a pretty massive campaign against human trafficking, drug trafficking, and the presence of illegal aliens. And Sessions has had a fairly good track record as a senator.
Is he a black hat? White hat? Grey hat? I’m not sure. I just think we should keep the channels of dialogue open until the dust settles. We will certainly have a much clearer picture on this matter in another 6 months or a year.
Regardless, the best thing we can do is pray, speak out against known criminal activity, and vote.
This article is utterly delusional. So the Presidents comment about Sessions is just a diversion? Gimme a break!
I understand.
Lying to Congress is against the law.
Is it against the law to UN-recuse and not tell anybody?
It certainly doesn't help one's case to admit under oath that you have a conflict of interest, and then you unrecuse yourself in secret so that you can work on the case. How do you think the defense lawyers would play that out in court?
Well said.
Your points are all fair.
Unfortunately, the practical result of Jeff Sessions as AG is Bob Mueller.
The second practical result of him as AG is actual corruption and corrupt government officials being utterly ignored and given a pass.
Interesting theory. Consider however, if Sessions ends up indicting a bunch of the big name, criminal Democraps, the DC politicians and media who love him now will turn full volume +++ against Sessions... saying he was badgered so mercilessly in public by the President that he didn’t have a strong character and caved in in order to make illegal indictments against the innocent people and he needs to be removed, and illegal indictments thrown out by (Democrap) judges.
I am keeping my expectations about Sessions so low that I predict that he will do nothing of significance before he is no longer AG, and there will be nothing in the wake of his departure. The iron is getting cold.
He’s more like the silent AG.
I am from Alabama. I REALLY REALLY wanted Sessions to be a good guy.
I have listened ad nauseum to the claims that Sessions is a part of the 18 dimensional chess game that Trump is playing with the whole masterful crowd of “in the know” possessors of power knowledge and plans, and how it all going to be proved to be spinning out into a glorious tapestry revealing the corruption of the swampers, complete with flesh eating Satanists and hot dog and cheese pizza parties in the White House blah blah blah.
I will be the happiest guy in the world if I am proved wrong, but it sounds like more and more like a giant excuse for not doing what millions and millions of suckers like me desperately hoped..... that we had a real change going on.
Like I said, I fervently hope I am wrong, but I am really coming to the end of patience here. I literally shoot a bird at the radio when Sean Hannity blabs on about how “important” it is that we get out and “vote” to “preserve” the gains we have made....... right.
By playing dumb, and doing mundane tasks such as holding press conferences against marijuana for example, Sessions is lulling the Deep State into a false sense of security.

You are seriously cooked.
That escalated quickly.......
