1993 Clinton-Era Letter To Jeff Sessions Surfaces, DESTROYS Media Hysteria Over DOJ Firings

The liberal media is furious after President Trump’s Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, fired 46 attorneys appointed by the Obama Administration. Every administration has the right and the prerogative to have its own appointees in seats of power. We’ve seen this time and time again, regardless of who the President is. But it’s ONLY when that President is Donald J. Trump that the media loses its collective mind. For example, the media’s extreme bias is showing when you take a look at what we just dug up: A 1993 letter from former President Clinton’s Attorney General, Janet Reno, to then-Attorney Jeff Sessions. Attorney General Janet Reno fired 93 U.S. attorneys (holdovers from the Reagan and George H.W. Bush days), leaving only one in New Jersey spared. This was in 1993 – the first year of Bill Clinton’s presidency.

An interesting aside - the Pedostaphile was getting a copy.

No wonder he thinks he is above the law.

I’m sure the original copy of that letter is a valuable collector’s item. It’s not often you see a letter with Bigfoot’s signature on it.

But the media didn’t report when Clinton did it. So it’s like it didn’t happen.

It is ironic that John Podesta has the name Pedo within his own name. Makes perfect sense.

Do you think Sessions will dig into that?

Alas,it was reported. I remember reading about this action and the explanation was that these ‘positions’ served at the pleasure of the President. A mild debate commenced but subsided as we were to give the new president the opportunity to proceed with ‘his’ people.

An addendum:

There was quite a media/Dems uproar when President Bush dismissed (2001) just 8 US attorneys.

Naturally the double sided nature of Democrats actions/policies vs Republican actions/policies comes in view.

I don’t now. I have been disappointed with Jeff Sessions up until now. His firing of 46 US attorneys is a bit of welcome news, but we have yet to see any investigations into the Obama and Clinton crime syndicates. David Seaman, one of the few reporters brave enough to investigate pizzagate, was told by a high-ranking government official that to bring down this ring could have very serious implications. I am guessing banking, the judiciary, members of Congress, etc. Perhaps the scandal is something they don’t want to touch.
