Sessions is not the enemy. He is trying to drain the swamp.
Here are what some of the enemies of Jeff Sessions are saying (go to the articles for the specific accomplishments):
Jeff Sessions has done more damage in his first 100 days than his boss
US attorney general Jeff Sessions may not be part of the biggest investigation in the Department of Justice, but as he reaches 100 days in office, there’s little doubt that he’s had an important impact on the American criminal-justice system—potentially for years to come.
Despite the political turmoil of the Trump administration, Sessions has moved to reverse a tide of progressive reform and to fulfill his boss’s law-and-order agenda, a collection of concepts loosely articulated during the 2016 presidential campaign. Sessions’ biggest actions, from undermining federal oversight of police departments to cracking down on undocumented immigrants, have worried a wide array of lawmakers, law-enforcement leaders, advocates and scientists.
“Of all the cabinet members, maybe even the president, he has to this point had the most significant impact as to policy changes,” said Jesselyn McCurdy, the deputy director at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Washington Legislative Office told Quartz.
Unlike his boss, Sessions is delivering on what he has promised—sometimes on causes he has championed for decades.
“There’s been a great bipartisan movement by organizations on the ground and members of Congress to reform the federal criminal-justice system, based on successes that have happened in the states, but the leader of opposition to that reform was Jeff Sessions, as a senator from Alabama,” McCurdy said. “These are all things that [Sessions], as a criminal justice reform opponent, had on his radar already.
McCurdy said Sessions was “definitely” living up to the ACLU’s concerns, and in some areas, fulfilling the worst-case scenarios.
Jeff Sessions ushers in 'Trump era' at the Justice Department
In just over two months, Sessions has proved to be a central figure in effectuating Trump's vision for America in tangible ways on immigration, crime, police reform and civil rights.
And while the White House searches for new messaging to frame what Trump has accomplished in the first 100 days in office, Sessions has single-handedly managed to make several significant domestic policy changes -- from pressing pause on implementing police reforms to withdrawing Obama-era protections for transgender students in public schools.
His radical transformation of the Justice Department's role is no accident.
Many of the changes Sessions has made thus far track a familiar principle of federalism: the notion that the federal government's powers are limited and it can't coerce states into action. In other words, the federal government should get out of the states' way.
Sessions' critics worry that he is well on his way to undoing many of the major progressive achievements of his predecessors, often by withdrawing from court cases or previous directives that fail to align with his views. Yet Trump supporters cheered Sessions on during the presidential campaign when he said, "the American people are not happy with their government."
Now that Sessions is the nation's top law enforcement officer, his defenders and critics universally agree: he's been busy fulfilling the President's campaign promises and he's just getting started.
kabar, you are not up to speed. You’ve already been corrected on the matter of the Dulles arrest which is one of thousands of details that you are not aware of.
I also was once a Sessions cheerleader as you are now. I have seen many Freepers that I respect and admire turn from cheerleaders to executioners as have I. Now how does that happen? It happens because of a growing awareness of a lack of integrity. Sessions should have resigned as soon as he recused himself. That would have shown integrity.
It doesn’t matter the accolades that Sessions has others write about himself. Any live body sitting in the AG chair can tally up a list of accomplishments. It doesn’t matter.
The only thing that matters is the damage Sessions did the Trump presidency by accepting the job, recusing himself, followed by failing to resign in a timely manner.
We can all praise a truth teller of a thousand truths but as soon as our fabled truth teller tells a lie, even a little lie, our praise becomes garbage.
Sessions has become garbage.
Feckless. Not a single arrest of a White House leaker. Not a single arrest of any other executive branch leaker such as in DOJ, State, DOD, or intelligence community.
Feckless.
Agree, and Sessions was the first to come out in support of President Trump. Half of freeper-land seems stuck on attacking Trump’s allies, and ignoring his real enemies—the old media and their rat party.
