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."

For Sessions to stay at the DOJ, knowing DJT wants him out, tells me he either has an enormous ego that I missed or he is Full Swamp. I believe the latter.
Sessions will act at a time and place of his choosing. He will not allow the criminals to choose the site of the battle
Sorry, I just think this is delusional...
... but I desperately hope that you prove me clueless and completely wrong.
His job isn’t to indict. He is a Congressman. You truly expected indictments under. Democrat House, a Democrat Senate a demoralizing President and a Democrat AG?

Not Trey Gowdy? Why? There another resume out there better? Before you begin Gowdy as a federal prosecutor never lost a case.
Based on what? Your opinion? Never losing a federal case as a prosecutor says otherwise.
No he isn’t kdding. Unlike some, People actually know constitutional roles as does Gowdy and know who is responsible for indictments and prosecutions and that isn’t Congress. As painful as it is for some to hear Gowdy did his job superbly. In fact so well the present AG could bring indictments. Hell a one year college grad prosecutor could bring indictments based on the case Gowdy brought forward.
Sessions has to go.
Christie was a very effective prosecutor, and I believe he can be low key if he wants, but there was a lot of curruption in New Jersey and Christie cleaned it up.
He would scare the crap out of the deep state.
Wait for the IG Report.
I am with you. I believe Sessions will strike when the payoff is greatest, in terms of decapitating the Deep State. Look already, DOJ has relieved, what is it, 8 top players of their duties. I don’t think it will stop at removing them from their jobs, but that was an essential part, so that the right people can be put in place in the DOJ when the prosecutions start to come.
One of them was recently unsealed: a Massachusetts State Senator indicted on 113 Federal counts of things like racketeering, money laundering, extortion, that kind of thing.
See 35...then if you have questions see 35 again and again. I know it can be frustrating when we have an inept AG who has so much evidence (thank you Mr. Gowdy) and a President for god knows what reason doesn’t press his own AG to bring indictments. I know it can cause some tonlash out at phantoms and find the blame man.
Absolutely positively yes Trey. Don’t be discouraged by the snarky sniveling. There is no better prosecutor
Trump said at the rallies after the Election, “we don’t care anymore.” Hillary was never going to be prosecuted. However, Sessions has been horrible with the Mueller witch hunt.
Sessions was a bad choice. He’s not going to do jack!
Sessions is afraid of being accused of partisanship? What about the partisanship shown by Lerner when she deliberately held up the applications of the conservative 501c organizations?
Hard to believe Guiliani would do better.
It’s clear that very few GOP elites want to fight for conservative cause, they are reluctant to get behind Trump. They are afraid to talk about MAGA.
Since when does a Congressman have the power to INDICT anyone? And here all this time I thought that it was grand juries that did the indicting... Duh!
Then why in the F*** did he waste our time? I am getting so sick and tired of waiting and waiting and waiting for someone to put the cuffs on Hillary and to put her in the slammer. MY GOD how long do we have to wait. What DIDNT she do?
You’re right all congress can do is investigate, then hand the evidence be to a DOJ who convenes a grand jury.
