That’s a relief, I hope Hannity is right.
Whatever, Sessions needs to go.
We got rid of Dish Network.
I now watch Hannity, Tucker and the new Ingraham show on youtube shortly after they run....and there are no commercials! Life is great!
Ahh ... you can’t recuse yourself from a non-existent investigation. You can’t get “credit” for that as it’s meaningless.
neither have I
Nice, was just about to post this!
Sessions detractors need to relax, find some inner strength and get some patience!
He’s got this... as does the President. They are in simpatico.
Trump’s tweets that sound like he’s irked with Sessions’ alleged inaction are theatre -— and signals. And I do not think we’ll be disappointed at all....
The libs love this discontent. Don’t give those anti-American pieces of crap the satisfaction!! EFF THEM!
Sessions is on our side, and he is NOT compromised.
What? You mean Sessions isn’t in a coma or taking an extended tour of the Bermuda Triangle?
I swear, the nation is burning to the ground; and Sessions is looking for sales at Walmart.
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 needs to do the right thing and resign. He’s too squishy for the job it seems.
1. Rep. Matt Gaetz asks Jeff Sessions to appoint a special counsel to investigate the 2010 Uranium One deal and Fusion GPS (my emphasis).
2. Sessions tells Gaetz he couldn't discuss the matter because he had refused himself, then gets up and leaves the room.
3. "Conservative" websites blare inane headlines reporting that Jeff Sessions has recused himself from the Uranium One investigation. They make no mention of the Fusion GPS part of what Rep, Gaetz said.
IT'S THE FUSION GPS ANGLE THAT PRECLUDES SESSIONS FROM DISCUSSING ANY OF THIS, AS IT RELATES TO THE 2016 CAMPAIGN AND IS COMPLETELY WITHIN THE AUSPICES OF MUELLER's INVESTIGATION.
Did he state who provided that confirmation?
Sessions need to recuse himself from Attny G and let someone else take over,he sucks
Yet.
So what? He hasn’t announced it formally. He simply announced it by his actions.
Not doing anything is a defacto recusal.
I think it's time for him to resign & let TRUMP pick Rudy or Christie to be AG!!!
LOCK HER UP!!!
Hillary has her claws dug deep into the Democratic party. The dems are still stuck on stupid, but as they slowly come around over the next few months they are going to realize they will need an exorcism to get her out to go forward in any way. She isn’t going to go willingly.
Sessions just recently got Chrisopher Wray. Eventually they may realize Christopher is a friend.
Sessions is a gutless worm.
Unfortunately even with this goal Sessions is useless !
I don’t know whether he has been threatened or bought, but the end result is the same.
He has been compromised.
We need someone who cannot be bought. Someone with the courage of a lion.
We need Rudy as AG !
You know, the Democrats have figured out an ingenious way to stay out of trouble. Simply look in the phonebook for someone who sounds Russian, call them or better yet, meet them, say hello, then leave.
Sessions wont touch them from that point forward.
