Jeff Sessions is entirely incapable of carrying out the duty of a U.S. Attorney General.
(Excerpt) Read more at theconservativetreehouse.com ...
Oh, he's capable. He's just not willing.
See, Jeff Sessions was The Swamp’s emergency plan.
On the 1% chance, at the time, that Trump would be elected President, Jeff Sessions was sent in to pretend to be on his side.
When Trump got elected, Jeff was right there, ready to take any important position that would maximally sabatoge Trump’s Presidency.
Imagine Jeff’s joy when he got the one position — Attorney General — that could do the most good for the Globalist Elitists and Republican / Democrat establishment.
The Clintons cannot be prosecuted without exposing the entire Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Both parties are responsible for the violation of the Constitution.
There will be no prosecutions.
Everyone thinks Sessions should go.
Everyone but President Trump that is. There’s been reports for months now that Trump was gonna fire Sessions. Ain’t happened yet.
And it probably wont. For many good reasons.
1. Rosenstein. Nuff said.
2. The Senate won’t confirm a new AG for months.
3. Who knows? Maybe Trump is not a chump and is keeping Sessions for a yuge surprise.
Anyway - think what you will of Mr. Recusal here. But we (and Trump) are stuck with him.
On what legal grounds? Having the “appearance” of a conflict of interest, and the Democrats get to define what constitutes an unacceptable “appearance” of a conflict?
“I see NOTHING!...”
editorial change
“I refuse to see ANYTING NOTHING!...”
If Jeff Sessions was an unhororable man he’d resign.
He’s a rat protecting the other rats who destroying this country.
More mass media and congressional deception. Do you think all these reports are going to get AG Sessions to hold a press conference and disclose who is under investigation?
He should recuse himself from his job, e.g. resign.
Reply in order to change tagline.
Watching sessions at the post Truck on bike terror attack was painful. He sounded not only Barney fideistic but he was whining apologies for the administrations not having prevented this. Is was W administration level cowering
Not at all trump ‘quit letting these people in ‘ level. He must be out of the loop
But I thought of Trump watching it it was awful. I’d have been thinking ‘you’re fired’ and with a queens accent
I watch all subsequent events with that inmind
I posted this on another thread and it’s appropriate here.
“Ed Klein, now on Hannity and who wrote the recent book,”The Plot to Destroy Trump,” says a cadre of newly hired attorneys at the DOJ are lobbying Sessions to appoint a Special Counsel for Hillary.
Sessions told them that he doesn’t want the DOJ to be political. What Jeff? Um that already happened when you clowns appointed Mulehead without any real evidence versus the evidence against Hellary which is overwhelming.”
It’s entirely surreal that the left AND right both hate Sessions so deeply (for different reasons, of course.)
28 U.S. Code § 455 – Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge
(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

(3) Where he has served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy;
(4) He knows that he, individually or as a fiduciary, or his spouse or minor child residing in his household, has a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy or in a party to the proceeding, or any other interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding;

(f) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, if any justice, judge, magistrate judge, or bankruptcy judge to whom a matter has been assigned would be disqualified, after substantial judicial time has been devoted to the matter, because of the appearance or discovery, after the matter was assigned to him or her, that he or she individually or as a fiduciary, or his or her spouse or minor child residing in his or her household, has a financial interest in a party (other than an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome), disqualification is not required if the justice, judge, magistrate judge, bankruptcy judge, spouse or minor child, as the case may be, divests himself or herself of the interest that provides the grounds for the disqualification.
Dear Jeff Sessions....
Enough of the chasing marijuana dealers!
There are real crimes that demand your attention and action.

“It’s the honorable thing.”
What makes you think he is honorable?
More important is: http://www.dw.com/de/manipulationsvorwurf-gegen-hillary-clinton/a-41220025
The ability of Americans to choose their leaders. And everyone knows it.
Thanks for posting this...I read it and was too tired to do the work to post it.
Let’s think hard on this, deep...Trump interviewed SESSIONS, got counsel, and weighing it, appointed him. He knew what he would do and wouldn’t. I have to think in those interviews, several names were discussed, like Clinton.
Still, Trump appointed him.
So is Trump genuinely angry at SESSIONS, or is something afoot that we don’t see? Or is Trump to fire him after the tax cut stuff is over?
I think there are not many pro-Trump possible AG replacements out there.
“The Senate won’t confirm a new AG for months.”
Well, how would that change anything? We already have nothing there.
Hey, how do you think DACC boys and girls get a free ticket to their country of origin? Sure is not going to be from Congress or the judiciary..
He plays one on TV.
