Mr. President, please cut it out. Tweet to your heart’s content, but stop the wildly inappropriate attacks on the attorney general. An honorable man whom I have known since his days as a U.S. attorney in Alabama, Jeff Sessions has recently become your piñata in one of the most outrageous — and profoundly misguided — courses of presidential conduct I have witnessed in five decades in and around the nation’s capital. What you are doing is harmful to your presidency and inimical to our foundational commitment as a free people to the rule of law.
The attorney general is not — and cannot be — the president’s “hockey goalie,” as new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci described Sessions’s job. In fact, the president isn’t even his client. To the contrary, the attorney general’s client is ultimately “We the People,” and his fidelity has to be not to the president but to the Constitution and other laws of the United States. Indeed, the attorney general’s job, at times, is to tell the president “no” because of the supervening demands of the law. When it comes to dealing with the nation’s top legal officer, you will do well to check your Twitter weapons at the Oval Office door.
A rich history buttresses my uninvited but from-the-heart advice. In the wake of President Richard Nixon’s resignation, the colorful Sen. Sam Ervin (D-N.C.) — a hero of the long Watergate ordeal — held hearings on a newly minted proposal to create an independent Justice Department, along the lines of other independent agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission. The idea was simple: Especially in the wake of the Nixon-era scandals infecting it, the department should, to the fullest extent possible, be insulated from raw political considerations in the enforcement of the nation’s laws.

You had your chance Kenny.
You blew it.
Now go away..................
Sessions is about the only one actually making Trump’s agenda a reality. Starr is right.
Mr. Starr, please Es Tee Eff Yew!!
I would accept his criticism if he had not let the Clinton Crime Spree go unpunished. I don’t like the Sessions attacks and wish it wasn’t happening. I also think Sessions screwed up royally with this hasty recusal. If he felt a need, he could have made it extremely narrow. Instead, he allowed this circus for no reason.
Maybe he does not want him to be as USELESS as you were, Starr?
Trump is about results, Kenny, something you don’t understand.
If Sessions had brought indictments against the Obama/Clinton crime syndicate, the swamp dwellers would be saying the same thing to him.
No Recusal no Mueller putting you and anyone near you through a meat grinder how mad would you be?
Hey Ken, one word: Baylor.
buh-bye
Who? LoL.
Ken Starr did his job. He presented the House of Representatives with the evidence they needed to draft a bill of impeachment. The House impeached Bubba Clinton. It was the U.S. Senate that let Clinton off with the help of ten Republicans voting not guilty of perjury and five Republicans voting not guilty of obstruction of justice.
There is a huge hole in American History right now, a vast empty vacuum of missingness:
The Prosecution of Hillary Clinton.
Where is that, Mr. Sessions? Where the f* is that?
It is missing and you are missing in action.
Ken Star, billed as a right wing conservative.......what a dish rag he turned out to be.
To the contrary, the attorney general’s client is ultimately “We the People,”
Tell that to the rest of our a-hole representatives.
Lindsay graham just warned Trump that he faces impeachment if he fires sessions or mueller
Any questions about why we have this special counsel coup or whether that beady-eyed rat bastard was up to his eyeballs in this from the get-go?
What’s interesting is that democrats including Chuck Schumer are rallying behind Sessions. LOL!! What morons, took a huge bite of the cheese on the trap, it snapped shut right on their necks and their brains are losing oxygen.
Pence: “Donald I’ll bet you can’t get Schumer to support Jeff Sessions.”
Donald: “Hold my Diet Coke”.
Don’t worry i heard Sessions is going to lower the boom any day between now and 2024.
Mister Kenny No Balls No Brains Starr shut the &uck up you are an embarrassment to yourself and all of weaselkind.
Sessions is not doing the right thing. What he has done will mean nothing if POTUS is driven out.
I voted for Trump, not Sessions.
