Huckabee: Without Prosecution Against Abedin, ‘We’re All Going To Lose Patience’ With Sessions
Breitbart ^ | 12-30-2017 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 01/01/2018 10:52:32 AM PST by blam

On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) argued that without a prosecution against Huma Abedin, “we’re all going to lose patience with the attorney general.”

Huckabee said that if Huma Abedin is not prosecuted, “I think we’re all going to lose patience with the attorney general. I love Jeff Sessions. I think he’s a great guy. But he’s got to do the job that he’s there to do, and that’s to universally enforce the law. And when I say universally, without regard to who a person is, if they’re the highest person in the land, or if they are the lowest person in the land.”

Huckabee has a valuable position. He has become the Media. He is setting the stage, preparing the battleground, rousing the rabble. Huckabee and his daughter are swamp drainers in action

Yup. If Huckabee is saying it, it's a pretty safe bet it's what Trump is thinking.

Back in the summer, Grassley told Trump that they wouldn't schedule a nomination hearing in 2017 if Sessions was replaced.

Well 2017 is over. And Grassley has seen a stonewalling DOJ, and evidence of crimes.

I lost patience with Sessions the moment he recused himself.

And yes, that would be the appropriate time.

However there are a few who won't take "no I'm recused" for an answer.

They're like beaten wives who just won't leave, because they still think that "he still loves me".

Huck has a lot more patience than I do. Feb 9th is his one year anniversary.

Trump does not keep ineffective people around - Sessions has not appeared effective - therefore, Sessions is hard at work on a plan we cannot yet see - this could get very interesting.

Trump was told by Grassley that he would not get a new nominee approved before 2018. 2018 is here. Grassley is now on board.

I’m hoping you’re joking or still hung over.

“Hard at work on a plan”

What’s the plan? Stepping down and letting Mueller run rampant?

He’s already done that.

The federal statute of limitations is five years. February 1 will be five years since Hillary and Huma left any government job.

Sessions is so concerned about what people will say though.

Woah, so are you saying that they cannot be tried or convicted after Feb 1?

Did not know Treason had a statute of limitations :(

Actually according to this website, there are certain crimes for which there is no statute of limitations: (much more detail in the article)

Six Laws with no Statute of Limitations
Adam R.’s picture

Posted April 26, 2012

There are only a few instances when the period when a perpetrator of a crime can be charged and convicted never expires:

If you kill someone: A charge of murder can be made at any time.
Fraud and embezzlement: You will be looking over your shoulder forever.
War Crimes: If you commit a series of crimes against humanity - a la Slobodan Milosevic - then you will never be forgiven just because you have lived a long happy life.
Kidnapping: Do not think you can get away with taking someone’s children.
Treason: Some of our famous spy cases have been prosecuted decades after the events took place. We never forgive

treason.
Not paying back your federal student loans. The power to collect on defaulted student loan debt is vast. It is virtually without limit. Outstanding student loan debts are one of the few instances where a collector can intercept social security benefits payments. Section 484A (a) of the Higher Education Act says that “t no statute of limitations bars enforcement action to collect Federal student loans, including collection by offset, lawsuit, or enforcement on student loan judgments.”

Doesn’t the time begin when the crime is discovered?

There are more crooked liberals to prosecute that Sessions couldn’t live long enough to charge and convict them all. Just starting with Hitlary would take several years/trials/appeals and she would probably die of old age before he finishes. I do not see Clinton ever going to jail let alone all the other liberals he might go after. Going after the low hanging fruit isn’t enough, go for the THROAT! Doing so may send a clear and definite message, it isn’t business as usual anymore.

the trial of Hillary Clinton would establish some semblence of rule of law and get us awayfrom the rule of the powerful.

Sorry if the truth hurts.
But it is what it is.

Sessions is and has been AWOL.
