Alright, so apparently we will need to hire Fusion GPS to put together a fake dossier. That is what was used to appoint Mueller.

He’s saying there’s no inherent appearance of Conflict of Interest with the DOJ and any investigation of Clinton. Which is true. There’s no need for a Special Prosecutor. Sessions just needs to do his job.

You can't be serious.

Sessions has recused himself of the investigation and he has left the compromised Rosenstein.

But if we loose the House, you can forget about any further congressional investigations of any Democrat.

How will that be different than currently?

Great point! Several other posters already alluded to Sessions' blinding hypocrisy, but that exposes it in full detail. I think Jordan would have gotten there himself if he had been granted some additional time. And I don't think they even let Gaetz loose on him.

Sessions just got himself fired as AG. There’s no salvaging his reputation now.

Sessions will *never* open a Clinton investigation because he knows if he did so, the tendrils from the Clinton Foundation would be wrapped around half of Congress. He has too many friends who benefit from the current corrupt system to crack it open.

“The intel folks must have some good dirt on Sessions.”

I would guess it is more payoff than the stick. Sessions is too tepid to ever have done things that are salacious. All those Saudi hundreds of millions sent to the Clintons...probably bought hundreds of people in positions of importance...probably still buying more of them today. It’s so much easier to control people by making them wealthy.

Sessions is not even clever enough to pull a Comey. Yeah, well there were some problems, but no intent to deceive has been found.

I agree.

But DOJ has no inherent conflict of interest which is the basis of the Special Prosecutor laws and tradition.

I honestly don’t think he meant for his true feelings to slip out. It was right near the end and he just couldn’t keep up the lies any longer. They need to schedule him for six hours next time or threaten to pull some of his funding.

The conflicts you mention are real, but can be compartmentalized within DOJ (at least that’s valid legal reasoning).

Sessions appears to be correct on the law. However, I believe DOJ is derelict in it’s prosecutorial discretion.

Conflicts in which a SP are expected by tradition and demanded by the expired law are conflicts associated with the POTUS.

The only one who should be impeached is Sessions. What a mistake to take him out of the Senate.

Getting Moore to the Senate will help make it easier to confirm Sessions’ replacement. So it’s no wonder why Sessions and the rest are dumping on Moore.

That is the purpose of the Mueller thing. It locks out the real things.

Was his name-o.

If Trump fires this guy now or soon, he likely gets stalled to replace Sessions until Trump gets a few more Senate seats.

We are likely stuck with him until after the 2018 elections.
