I don't share your assessment that Sessions' "behavior" has been bad. I am very pleased with his performance as he restructures DOJ and re-institutes the Rule of Law.
Sessions, if you will remember, is MY senator (Alabama) and I not only voted for him enthusiastically, I know him, met him at several venues (especially during campaigns) and really love the guy.
But he has deeply disappointed me. And not only me, but most FReepers. I expected SO MUCH MORE from him. I really did.
If The President and Jeff are playing some game to fool their opponents in the deep state, then it's the best game ever in history.
But let's use Occam's Razor. The reason Hillary and Obama are not being prosecuted for what is apparently a crime, while on hand we have a special counselor investigating a situation where NO CRIME has even been assigned shows me and people like me that the government we expected is being thwarted, and moreover allowed to be thwarted by that same government.
I voted for Trump to clean up the country. That didn't mean letting these blatant crimes of the Clintons simply walk and not be further investigated.
If that is the case, and Jeff told Jason Chavetz, Congressman and chairman of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the very same, then why anyone of us should be prosecuted for any crime is a travesty!
Unless I see otherwise, Sessions is presiding over the end of the rule of law.
I lived in Huntsville, Al in the mid/late 1980s. This was the beginning of the turn from Yellow Dog Dem/Commie to RINO Republican - maybe better than Yellow Dog Dem but still with that mentality.
Jeff Sessions was of this group - He was a protege or at least on good terms with Howard Hefflin. Now Sessions is an OLD man and maybe he no longer has what it takes to return America to a Constitutional Republic.
During Session's long presence in D.C., all of the institutions that are now strangling us have grown bigger and bigger and Sessions did nothing to stop this monstrous power grab by the elite bureaucracies that inhabit D.C.
Just one example - Military base closings - The congress passed the buck to commissions to determine which local military bases were to be closed and where to consolidate what is left.
Abrogation of responsibility on the part of the Congress continues today - BLUE SLIP for Judicial nominees, 60 votes for Cloture - Non of these are in the Constitution.
Be a little more specific. What did you expect from him after 8 months on the job?

How do you know that there is no ongoing investigation of the Clintons and their Foundation? Or the unmasking scandal?
The special counsel is supposed to be investigating Russian influence in our elections along with alleged collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign. The Steele dossier and the Comey firing are fueling this farce. Putting an end to it is very difficult politically.

I don't think that is the case and I don't believe Chavetz who is a weasel. He is not a big fan of Trump. And I have some real questions as to why he abruptly left Congress. I smell a rat.

Sessions is restoring the rule of law that ended during the Obama administration. Bush wasn't much better than Obama when it came to the enforcement of our immigration laws.
Well, since you know him, have you tried to contact him and find out (off the record) what the hell is going on? We could use a little reassurance out here that the Sanctuary City officials will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law (and why not).
Is there a big-ass case being built against the biggest pile of executive branch treason and corruption in the history of the US? ( and why the hell not)
