Watch this play out.
Most here have never been in charge of a company.
I can see what Trump is doing.
The Sessions Derangement Folks want him on TV every day explaining to their 5 O’Clock world what he is having for lunch.
Not gonna happen.
Trump keeps Sessions out of the limelight on purpose.
Having people arrested for debts is a thing Jared Kushner is known for. I’m not certain how that is supposed to work, seems like judgments and garnishment of wages would work better since people can earn money to pay their debts instead of being a burden on the taxpayers sitting in jail. Trump and Sessions both would do well to steer clear of this narrative.

Basically any Attorney General in the past. Can you name another who recused himself, which resulted in a special counsel being appointed to investigate the President? Trump himself has had some choice words for this, calling Sessions quote "weak," "beleaguered," and "unfair to the President" off the top of my head. Then today Trump unfavorably compared Sessions to Obama's AG Eric Holder, with regard to their support of the President.
And I'm comparing him to any other Senator that left their seat to take an appointment in the President's cabinet, but then refused to support the candidate of the same party who was running for his vacancy position in the Senate. What Sessions (and Shelby, and known RINO) did was a disgrace. A strong case can be made that their shenanigans cost Republicans that important spot in a tightly contested Senate, where impeachment of the President is an unfortunate possibility.
While all this has been going on, Sessions has been busying himself with relatively unimportant matters that any AG could have attended just as well. Almost everyone criticizing Sessions is a former supporter of his, but he's failed miserably on the issues that mattered the most.
That’s a strong statement.
I take it you are disappointed in this Presidency and wish things were different.
Someone that goes against the herd. Awesome.
Yes, we should support them for congress critters who fail to pass a balanced budget.
One thing Sessions should work on is how easily people avoid being served with their papers, since this seems to be a very weak link that should have a remedy with technology being where it is today. The courts are losing money on this and the rest of the taxpayers are being stuck with the bill.
Trumps biggest mistake. To be fair Sessions is nothing like anyone expected including the Rats. He was barely confirmed. He would have dreamed he’d end up being the best friend they ever had.
This Presidency has been great, especially with regard to what would have happened under Hillary.
Unfortunately, however, it’s been somewhat clipped at the knees by a selfish if not crooked Attorney General, whose actions have resulted in a special counsel being appointed to investigate the President almost immediately after he was sworn in, when there was no evidence supporting the appointment other than what has since been proven to be tainted.
At the same time, this Attorney General has refused to appoint a special counsel to investigate the apparent crimes at the DOJ, that likely engulf the special prosecutor and his team that are unfairly investigating the President, despite the Judiciary Committees in Congress calling for it based on actual evidence of crimes.
To summarize this dichotomy, Sessions own actions have demonstrated him to be biased in favor of the unfair investigation of the President, while simultaneously being biased against investigating any of the President’s accusers, even thought the public evidence indicates the President’s accusers or more likely of crimes.
If that’s what you support, so be it. But not me, I oppose the investigation of the President, and believe the DOJ is where the true crimes have occurred, including the attempted framing of the President, and Sessions has been in screaming matches on the Congressional floor defending them.
After all, the best way to ensure that a debtor pays up is to throw him in prison. /sarc
We were all debt slaves. We were set free on 9/11/16. Sorry, used the military date.
Quite a coincidence though.
God bless.
It isn’t even near what you claim.
First of all you call Sessions a Crook. Jeez.
The next is figuring out how to govern a nutbag nation.
Look between the buds dude. Trump has certain people in charge for certain reasons. Most of it is taking care of the media.
He is not sending Sessions out in that snakepit.
Sessions is working on the swamp and that is his job.
Jeff is focused on the wrong stuff
Mr. Sessions is focused on whatever the President wants him focused on.
Redirect your focus.
Right, because taxpayers don't foot any of the bill for people in jail.
I did not, I said it was possible, based on his behavior that has the President being investigated by a Democratic hit squad, while refusing to appoint a special counsel to investigate the possible framing of the President that led to the first special counsel. The Judicial oversight committee chairs have both publicly asked for it, but Sessions is rebuffing them, and refusing to answer their subpoenas, which has them on the verge of charging Sessions with Contempt of Congress.
Sessions is working on the swamp and that is his job.
There's no real proof of that, at all. What we do have evidence of is his desire to keep any investigation of the DOJ secret to within the DOJ, so they can bury it just like they did with all the other recent major scandals, be that Fast and Furious, IRS targeting, Uranium One, etc. If Sessions wanted to truly investigate the DOJ he would appoint a special counsel, but apparently those are reserved for only unfairly investigating the President.
You're not right.
Sessions is recused on the swamp investigations such as the Clinton emails, the dossier, the FSA warrant, unmasking, Uranium One...etc.
Sessions has left in charge on those matters, swamp rat Rod Rosensstein.
Well, I have my opinion of Sessions and you have yours.
Maybe Trump could drag Eric Holder back in to help you adjust.
Well, I had a great opinion of Sessions too, until Trump came along.
Maybe Trump could drag Eric Holder back in to help you adjust.
Based on your Holder comment, it's pretty clear that Trump is the one you really have a problem with, which fully explains your support of Sessions. He stood up to the bully, and has him at heel with the help of his deep state buddies. Congratulations, I'm sure you're proud, because that truly is Sessions only real accomplishment as AG.
That’s just wonderful.
He was ordered to recuse. He did.
How are the Democraps doing now? They are scared to death of being jailed.
You will not see Mr. Sessions on daytime TV looking for your approval.
