On Wednesday Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) asked Attorney General Sessions if Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will be allowed to investigate himself regarding new information on the Hillary Clinton Uranium One scandal.
Attorney General Sessions said it was up to him.

Meet the new Swamp,
Same as the old Swamp!
See -- if everyone had listened to me, Sessions, from Alabama, would have been VP and now coordinating with NASA, and the Atty General would be someone, shall we say, a little more effective. Thanks FreeReign.
Iran inspects itself. Rosenstein investigates himself. No checks. No balances. It’s recess time in the fun house.
Sessions is a USELESS WIMP!!!!
there are SO MANY Americans that believed in AG Sessions,
who has turned into a limp clown who is the PERMITTER
and ENCOURAGER of on going criminal actions.
OUT-f-rageous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This what you get when you have the wolf watching the hen house. Had a feeling this was going to happen.
It’s a disguised message: telling the jerk if he wants to keep his reputation intact to come forward and come clean. (Used in good cop/bad cop techniques).
Hopefully the jerk will flip and start to sing
From the transcript: C-Span...
Sorry about the CAPS. That is how they do their transcripts.
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION THAT LOOKS LIKE HISTORY, BUT IT WAS IN THE NEWS RECENTLY.
YESTERDAY, I BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS AND RECENT NEWS REPORTS, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS AN ONGOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FOR BRIBERY, EXTORTION, AND MONEY LAUNDERING INTO OFFICIALS FOR THE RUSSIAN COMPANY MAKING THE PURCHASE OF URANIUM ONE.
THAT PURCHASE WAS APPROVED DURING THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION AND RESULTED IN THE RUSSIANS OWNING 20% OF AMERICA’S URANIUM MINING CAPACITY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO FIND OUT HOW THE RUSSIAN TAKEOVER OF THE AMERICAN URANIUM WAS ALLOWED TO OCCUR, DESPITE CRIMINAL CONDUCT BY THE RUSSIAN COMPANY THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION APPROVED TO MAKE THE PURCHASE?
A.G. SESSIONS:
MR. CHAIRMAN, WE WILL HEAR YOUR CONCERNS. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL TAKE SUCH ACTIONS AS IS APPROPRIATE, I KNOW, AND I WOULD OFFER THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE GONE TO JAIL IN THAT TRANSACTION ALREADY, BUT THE ARTICLE TALKS ABOUT OTHER ISSUES.
SO WITHOUT CONFIRMING OR DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF ANY PARTICULAR INVESTIGATION, I WOULD SAY THAT I HEAR YOUR CONCERNS AND THEY WILL BE REVIEWED.
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
I THINK I KNOW WHY YOU ARE PROBABLY RELUCTANT TO GO INTO SOME DETAIL ON THAT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT DEPUTY ATTORNEY ROSENSTEIN DIRECTLY SUPERVISED A CRIMINAL CASE WHEN HE WAS U.S. ATTORNEY IN MARYLAND.
I DO NOT THINK IT WOULD BE PROPER FOR HIM TO SUPERVISE A REVIEW OF HIS OWN CONDUCT, DO YOU?
A.G. SESSIONS:
IT WOULD BE HIS DECISION. HE IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND ABILITY. IF HE FEELS HE HAS AN INABILITY TO PROCEED WITH ANY INVESTIGATION, IT WOULD BE HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION, AND SHOULD CONSULT, AS I TOLD YOU I WOULD AND AS I HAVE DONE, WITH THE SENIOR ETHICS PEOPLE AT THE DEPARTMENT.
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
REPORTS SUGGEST THAT THE CLINTON FOUNDATION RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES IN THE TRANSACTION. BILL CLINTON RECEIVED $500,000 FOR A SPEECH IN MOSCOW, JUNE 2010, FROM THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT ALIGNED BANK, THE SAME MONTH THAT RUSSIA BEGAN THE URANIUM ACQUISITION PROCESS.
THIS FACT PATTERN RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT IMPROPER POLITICAL INFLUENCE ON THE PROCESS BY THE PREVIOUS — BY THE CLINTONS DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
HAS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FULLY INVESTIGATED WHETHER THE RUSSIANS COMPROMISED THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S DECISIONS TO SMOOTH THE WAY FOR TRANSACTIONS, AND IF NOT, WHY NOT?
A.G. SESSIONS:
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE IN THE DEPARTMENT.
IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO COMMENT ON ANY ONGOING INVESTIGATION.

Sessions is in a tight spot.
Just like Trump would be if he fires him.
Trump and Sessions have been set up by Barry and Hillary so that if the new administration tries to go after them on Russia, it will look like Trump and Sessions are hiding something.
Pretty neat trick. I honestly don’t see a way out, and that’s how Barry and Hillary want it.
thank you for posting this.....
You’re welcome.
I knew all along that Hillary and Obama’s huffing and puffing about alleged Trump-Russia ‘collusion’ was just a smokescreen to mask their own actual collusion and betrayal.
GRASSLEY: OK. I think, that's -- let me emphasize then with a follow up question. To be very clear, you intend to recuse yourself from both the Clinton e-mail investigation and any matters involving the Clinton Foundation, if there are any?
SESSIONS: Yes.
Thanks for posting. Wow, I missed that. . He really said Yes? So now what, we put McCabe in charge of investigating Hillary?
Who in the Government is in charge of investigating the crimes of Hillary Clinton? No One? Is it pitchfork time and time for the ten million person march at the Mall in Washington D.C.?
". . . When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,"
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Does the level of corruption, crimes, injustice, sedition and treason meet the tipping point alluded to by our founders mentioned above? Is it truly time to overwhelm Washington D.C. with concerned Patriotic citizens? Ten million would be a good start. If nothing happens with the mountains of evidence from recent (and past) revelations, what is our course? To do nothing is tantamount to treason and a betrayal of our Founding principles.
Are there any current investigations of the various crimes of Hillary Clinton? The 18 Federal Laws broken with the email/server scandal alone.
The Clinton Foundation - will take years to unravel - kickbacks, pay-to-play, bribery, State Dept. collusion, money laundering through Canada and other places, RICO, . . for starters. Clinton Global Initiative - same crimes probably, at least deserves to be investigated. The Russia Uranium One scandal, a whole new area to investigate, potential treason.
Hell, they were investigating Hillary and Bill in 1994 for Whitewater and assorted other crimes. Will they ever be brought to justice?
Unbelievable. But there it is. If you haven't seen this yet, here's the clip
Thanks for the clip. Beats having to find the remarks on the whole video.
