The Department of Justice announced Thursday that it is creating a task force to take a fresh look at drug-trafficking and money-laundering operations linked to Hezbollah after an investigative report last month claimed that the Obama administration turned a blind eye to such activities to preserve the Iran nuclear deal.

The sheer number of problems that must be dealt with is astounding.

None of this stuff would have happened if Yeb! Was “sitting behind the desk making big decisions.”

This was way higher than Rhodes. The kenyan and ValJar provided top cover for Iranian backed terrorists. And half the country could care less. Scary.

I’m going go out on a limb and speculate Bruce Ohr is not on the taskforce.

Will the MSM be praising Sessions for his courage and forthrightness? Maybe in history books 100 years from now. Let the mud-slinging begin.

The Politico report outraged multiple Republican lawmakers,

Any names? Geeze Fox, while this may not be fake news, it sure is. Crappy reporting!

Sessions must have done this between naps. Hope it gets done before he nods off again.
