And I remain a staunch supporter of Jeff Sessions.
You can't just sidestep Sessions now, as if he's not at fault, and go after Trump. You need to first admit Sessions has royally screwed this whole situation up, to the point that only Trump may be able to fix it.
No, if you read what I wrote, the President should order the release of the material or explain why it can't be released. I then posited that DOJ and the FBI have been stonewalling because their is an ongoing criminal investigation in addition to the OIG investigation.
Second, Trump has already addressed it. He's wailed against Sessions, and the DoJ, endlessly on Twitter and in interviews. Look at my tagline, which is actually one of his weaker protests.
Good cop, bad cop may just be a cover. The Administration does not want to disclose knowledge of an ongoing criminal investigation related to the Russian investigation.
Trump however has also been very courteous to the understandable desire that the DoJ be able to operate without the President towering over their every move. He has specifically mentioned this in his interviews and tweets, where you were I have no idea, but likely you were full time defending Sessions at the time.
The President has not been bashful in criticizing the Mueller investigation. The President must steer clear of creating the impression that he is trying to influence the investigation, especially since the Dems have now moved on to the obstruction of justice meme.
*IF* you are finally starting to see that the DoJ is to blame for this whole scandal, and Sessions has been defending them and is deserving of the President's wrath, then Hallelujah, but I have a right to be skeptical. My guess is you will want to somehow blame Trump for not taking control of Sessions, and the DoJ by extension, while still trying to defend Sessions somehow.
As always, you miss the point. Sessions actions are understandable if there is an ongoing criminal investigation and a blockbuster OIG report scheduled for release in January with sections being available this month. The OIG report could trigger many other investigations. And we don't know what the ongoing 27 leak investigations would reveal.
their == there
What a crock. Just as I predicted, you want to somehow claim that Trump is responsible for the disgrace that is the current DoJ, while trying to claim Sessions has no responsibility, when that is actually his department.
Bottom line, your attacks on Trump, combined with your admitted personal involvement with Sessions, just lead me to further believe that Sessions is part of the swamp, and is working against the President. Nothing else would explain why you're trying to blame Trump first, instead of Sessions first, for the despicable cover up currently going on at the DoJ.
The OIG report will be issued by a Clinton loyalist and you expect the truth to come out? His job is to destroy the truth as is Mueller's.
