President Trump doubled down on his call for the Justice Department to investigate Democrats on Friday after a former Democratic National Committee chair acknowledged the party tipped the scales in Hilary Clinton's favor during last year's primary.
Trump told reporters outside the White House that he is disappointed in the Justice Department for not investigating Clinton, reiterating that he believes the agency should do something.
Im really not involved with the Justice Department. Id like to let it run itself, but honestly, they should be looking at the Democrats," he said.
They should be looking at Podesta and all of that dishonesty, they should be looking at a lot of things, and a lot of people are disappointed in the Justice Department, including me, he said.
In an excerpt of her new book, former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile wrote about a deal between Clintons 2016 campaign and the DNC aimed at keeping the party financially viable.
The deal wasn't illegal, Brazile wrote, but it "sure looked unethical." The former DNC chair said it broke [her] heart to find proof that the primary between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was rigged.
Trump has tweeted several times about the Democratic deal since an excerpt of Braziles book was published by Politico on Thursday, calling it illegal and bringing back his nickname for Clinton, Crooked Hillary.
Grassley is the person you should be talking to. He vowed that if Trump fires Sessions, he, Grassley, will refuse to confirm a replacement.
“...no leaks about important things...”
I am inclined to agree with your assessment. We have to wait it out and trust our President who is clearly on our side, the side of We the People against the globalist atheist communists.
My daughter and son-in-law are both lawyers and they never ever talk about the cases they are working on.
That powerful Clinton machine tells dems how to vote because they are the ones who do have the dirt on those dems and control their votes.....they know who they own and who they can not control....Not Jeff Sessions I guess by how the dems voted.
I agree. Gotta have something to point to before saying, "You're fired!"
He is waiting until the cheezy, balless, congress critters pass the tax cuts bill, and then he will lower the boom.
You do not become a billionaire by being stupid.
There is no statute of limitations on TREASON.
Jeff Sessions himself needs to be investigated.
Exactly WHAT THE HELL DID HE DO WITH THE RUSSIANS that justifies his continual recusal on all things Hillary?????
Time for Sessions to recuse himself out of office (i.e. Trump needs to fire him).
Trump is clean.
Clinton, Schultz and Obama are dirty.
Yet, no one is being questioned.
Trump will not fire obama clinton hold over en mass...
Sessions will not even go after the small timers in the DNC scandal?
Something isn’t quite adding up for sure.
I don’t really care about the announcement of another investigation, which will result in nothing. I would prefer to hear Sessions announce indictments and arrests. So I am OK with the silence.
Sam, I'm with you.
I have not been disappointed by DJT and I will not go into panic mode now.
Sure, I'd love to see Sessions going full bore after the bitch, but it can wait, tax bill first, the bitch's broom and balls...next.
So.......who is right? Time will tell this story.
‘Fire RosenKrantz first and put some real Assistants in there.’
Absolutely. Fire Rosenstein in a very high profile move. Use the occasion to list ***all*** the things Sessions has forbidden himself from investigating (pretty much everything except gangs and marijuana). State that due to Sessions’ self-limiting inability to do the job, the Deputy AG *IS* the AG. So, since Rosenstein isn’t doing the job either, he has to go. Work in a mention of the fact that the Deputy can be replaced, whereas the Senate has sworn not to confirm Sessions’ replacement, and all the bases are covered.
That would give all concerned a little something to think about.
President Trump, we, the “Deplorables” are waiting for you to “Make America Great Again”, you can start by replacing Sessions with someone who has a backbone and will not be intimidated by those he would go after.
This is not just you but why all of a sudden, does everyone believe the MSM. It is the FBI job to investigate, not the JD. JD job is to investigate the FBI. Mulehead is just as guilty as hellary. Now we watch mulehead, it is still his move...
I agree mulehead is just as guilty as hellary... Let mulehead dig his own grave.
I think you are just whistling past the graveyard. Trump has failed us on this one key issue: justice.
The real truth is that if Clinton, Comey, Lynch et al go down, they are going to bring everyone down because they have dirt on just about everybody.....Republicans too.
Everyone in congress knows this, so they are playing a dangerous game. They are going to tolerate Trump, but they have ensured that NO ONE will be prosecuted. They simply have outmaneuvered Trump on this. The “law and order” candidate is powerless, because everyone in congress is guilty and covering their own asses.
You have no more reason to respect the Congress, the FBI, or the CIA.....They are all nothing but a big crime syndicate now. The sooner we all realize this, we can start living our lives appropriately.
End immediately the mueller farce by firing him Drain the Swamp. What could be expected from holders doj anyway? Drain it! Swamp draining needed desperately. Especially the Snake dept Nazi and islamonazi infestation and all of obozos islamic moles and agents elsewhere.
I agree with you and think the tweeting about the DOJ is a sideshow.
Sessions said to Grassley that there had already been convictions in the Uranium One bribe scandal. Sessions wouldn’t comment further on that investigation and he didn’t say he recused from that investigation.
My theory is Trump knows what’s coming down and he wants to seem out of the loop when it happens. Of course the Dims will blame Trump’s tweets for putting pressure on DOJ to pursue charges. That is a given.
I bet he’s a closet Freeper.
Also remember Christopher Wray is the new FBI director, and he is in the hen house.
