So what’s new? Sessions is worthless. There’s non-stop nationwide corruption and he’s not enforcing the law. Governors, Mayors, school administrators are harboring ILLEGAL ALIENS and he does nothing.

I'm with you totally. Sessions is not up to this job in any way shape or form. We need someone who wants to help drain the swamp by prosecuting the corruption in DC and that's half the swamp.

We need Rudy G. I don't really care if he wants the job or not, lol. He needs to step up to help save the Republic.

It takes time to document a case against a public official. Obviously it would be stupid, unethical--as well as counter-productive--for the Justice Department to advise you what investigations are going forward. Let us not devour our friends in the early days of the new Administration--or at any other time.

Meanwhile, here is what I have posted elsewhere about the Comey testimony:

To really put the implied Comey rationalization--that he was trying to protect the institution from improper pressure from the President--into perspective, one must recognize the obvious, incontrovertible fact: As President, Donald Trump could pardon General Flynn for any infraction--just as Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon; just as Clinton & Obama pardoned people who most of us would have allowed to rot. (I am not suggesting in any way that Ford was not right to pardon Richard Nixon. I certainly would have done the same.)

Viewed in the context of this reality, there is no rational reason to view an expression of "hope" from the President, on behalf of General Flynn, as anything more serious than a frank courtesy to Comey. That Comey--who admitted to being intimidated by Loretta Lynch!--saw it as some sort of threat, is a sorry commentary on Comey, not the President.

Conservative activists should point out the key factor--the absolute right of the President to pardon--at every opportunity, until those trying to make a mountain out of a courtesy crawl back under their rocks!
