What if Jeff Sessions is not asleep, but instead playing possum?

Conventional wisdom is that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is asleep at the wheel – from recusing himself unnecessarily from the Trump-Russia collusion investigation to doing nothing about the politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice. He also gave free rein to his deputy A.G., Rod Rosenstein, who is in turn allowing Special Counsel Robert Mueller unlimited time, money, and jurisdiction to investigate President Trump's entire life.

Well glad to meet you and Happy Hanukkah! Wow, you have quite a lineage there that the average American has not a clue about and could care less. Pathetic. Am well aware of Mr. Zelman and JFPO. And alan Gottlieb. Endowment member of NRA here. Mr.Nathan Silverlieb who I mentioned taught me a lot about the M1911 when I was in the Air Force no less.We were both members of the Holyoke (MA) Revolver Club in the '60's. Stationed in the belly of the beast, West Berlin, in the late 60's. Saw and felt things that sent chills up my spine and will never forget. Prinz Albrecht Strasse on a cold, damp night is a game changer.Saw these kind of signs:

Friend, co-worker and eventual supervisor Manny Scheer, may he rest in peace, referred to me as a mensch, His and his wife's parents had tatoos. I share your bewilderment over jewish gun control advocacy. Of all people. Shalom.

LOL I have been watching this...

It will be interesting to see where we end up next year with all of the investigations (if you can call them that—witch hunt might be more descriptive).

My observation/question...When Lois Lerner, IRS, was allowed to skate and retire (full pension, back pay, etc,) many Sessions supporters here said, “Hey, Sessions is working a deal with Lerner in order to catch bigger fish. Yet Koskinen, former head of IRS, just retired skating all the way.

Who are these bigger fish he was going to get at the IRS??

This scenario is similar to the argument being put forth by Sessions defenders today...let Mueller trample all over the Constitution, have investigative powers reaching far beyond the scope of the initial charge** because he is going after big fish Clintons, etc...Guess time will tell, but I am not impressed with Sessions’ track record :(

**Initial charge which was bogus because before appoint a counsel need a crime, etc. Collusion is not a crime and so now they are searching for one...

The asinine Never-Jeff crowd has called him everything from swamp creature to brain dead. The dumbest accusations involve calling him some sort of liberal plant. Sheeesh, can these Freeper even read?

That is their assessment of Trump’s first, most loyal, rock-solid DC supporter. Sessions is such a great conservative that the ACU gave him a lifetime score of 95%.

Beyond that, I trust the very conservative voters of AL much, MUCH more than the knee-jerks here who seem to think that simply being part of the #MeToo, Never-Jeff movement makes them somehow smarter than Freepers who are able to reason.

In 2014, Jeff Session won 97% of the AL vote.

The ability to reason means you are fine to wonder / debate, in total hindsight, whether the recusal was good or bad. Personally, I think it was just because he is uncommonly honest and was bending over backward to avoid giving the enemy more arrows against the unborn / infant Trump admin.

It is absolutely revealing of some here to suggest he is asleep. For crying out loud, the guy is a machine on THE NUMBER ONE issue Trump hired him to accomplish: the war against illegal immigration. Rounding up MS-13, fighting - and WINNING - the legal battles regarding Trump’s brave new refuge policies, going after sanctimonious cities, etc. I never dreamed so much freaking progress on this front could be made this fast. If he is this freaking good while asleep, I can’t wait to see what he does awake. Hail to Jeff!

These are absolutely NOT the actions of a guy who is a deep state or Dem mole or whatever silly nonsense some Freepers endlessly, mindlessly parrot.

Thank the Lord in heaven that the DOJ is not run by these bashing bandwagon Never-Jeff crowd. Or none of the horrible crimes coming to the surface today would have seen the light of day. They seem to have preferred everybody be fired day one - which would leave nobody to on the illegal immigrant front. And prefer we instead spend a political eternity fighting obstruction charges until the election of Chuck Schumer to president in 2020.

And the Never-Jeff’s seem to want Sessions to do what we ALL rightfully complained about when Holder / Lynch / Comey were doing it. Just taking the law into their own hands and making decisions emotionally and politically.

well said!!!!

I’m an optimist, so I can’t bear to think Sessions and DJT aren’t on top of this - I’m hoping they have artfully played out the line and we are seeing the fish beginning to founder..

Well you solicited a response, I got something of a diatribe which my response did not warrant. I really don’t appreciate it, but I should have known better than to respond. FR seems to be becoming very intolerant of differing views.

So bitt, I am wondering, since you posted this response to me, are you saying I am part of some “asinine Never-Jeff crowd” as dear Buddha describes because I don’t blindly support Sessions?

And “Never Jeff?” Say what??!?! Most of us here were thrilled when he was confirmed. There is no “Never Jeff crowd.” Sheesh!!!

And we are to walk around saying “Hail to Jeff?” Talk about emotion! Seriously?

Immigration? Just read this week it is up to Obama levels now. Where is the wall?

Sorry, I am still taking a wait-and-see attitude as no one has yet to tell me why Sessions allowed Lerner and Koskinen to skate away happily into the sunset after interfering with elections and harassing Tea Party and conservatives for years.
