Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) said "we are all going to lose patience with the attorney general" over his perceived apprehension to prosecute people like Lois Lerner and Peter Strzok.
"I love Jeff Sessions. I think he is a great guy, but he has got to do the job he is there to do," Huckabee said. He said Sessions, a former Alabama senator, must "enforce the law... universally. Without regard to who the person is."
Huckabee said Sessions may be holding off on prosecuting Lerner, the former IRS employee allegedly implicated in the conservative nonprofit targeting scandal, or Strzok, the FBI agent who sent anti-Trump texts to his mistress, because he does not want to be perceived of "partisanship." "[But] this isn't about partisanship, this is about justice," Huckabee said. "This is a dangerous place," he said of allegations against Strzok and Lerner. "This is the kind of thing you see in totalitarian countries where the power of the government is used to step on your political enemies."

>>What a freakin insult to the nation I love.<<
Your entire post is well and truly said. I suspect that Sessions will go down in history as President Trump’s Achilles’ Heel. Election this year will tell the tale.
As soon as DT was elected I said he would fail in appointments as he had 0 experience in political appointments. Those who cite his business success are just as ignorant of a completely different process that needs the most seasoned conservative practitioners in federal/poloitical human relations placement.
Lacking any real success in this area, DT reacts as he does whenever things are going badly or he has incoming negative blow back. He gets defensive and goes on attack.
The pity is, with the right people from the start, the traitor Dems And Reputz’s would be have been reeling from day one with no time to come up for breath. Instead it is Trump’s agenda that has to deal with fits and starts.
Very uneven analysis. Sessions had a lot of people fooled. That’s on Jeff, not Trump. It gets worse from there. Trump could not have foreseen Sessions’ 100% unnecessary recusal bc Jeff was traitorously secretive about it. Since then Trump has been playing the hand he was dealt, and he’s done an excellent job of it.
Trump is swimming in shark infested waters yet he’s managed to advance his agenda. The Trump-gripers for the most part have no idea.
