Jeff Sessions on Nunes memo: "No department is perfect"
AXIOS ^ | Feb, 02, 2018 | A.B. Brown Jr

Posted on 02/02/2018 12:05:55 PM PST by VideoDoctor

Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a statement Friday following the release of the controversial Nunes memo alleging FISA abuse by the FBI and Department of Justice. I have great confidence in the men and women of this Department. But no Department is perfect.

Full statement:
“Congress had made inquiries concerning an issue of great importance for the country and concerns have been raised about the Department’s performance. I have great confidence in the men and women of this Department. But no Department is perfect.

Accordingly, I will forward to appropriate DOJ components all information I receive from Congress regarding this. I am determined that we will fully and fairly ascertain the truth.

We work for the American people and are accountable to them and those they have elected. We will meet that responsibility.”

That’s the way the Italians felt in 1945. See tagline.

Commenting on the Hindenburg "landing" at Lakehurst NJ, Jeff Sessions said, "Nobody's perfect".

And people here think he is capable or willing to fix what is broken?

I don't know if he is or not. But I do know this: it would be very bad if Sessions ignored due process as most people here seem to want him to do. For one thing, all the people who are prosecuted without due process will walk after their cases are thrown out.

I don't know what due process looks like for this situation, probably a special prosecutor who is poltically independent. But that's a long way from what most people on this thread are suggesting.

“Trump needs a come to Jesus meeting with Sessions and Wray and Kelly. Wray needs to either clean house or leave.”

I think Trump tried that with Sessions. Then he tried it in public. Sessions has refused to resign and is refusing to do his job.

As I said after his recusal, damn the impeachment torpedoes and GUT THE ENTIRE DOJ STARTING WITH THAT RAT BASTARD JEFF SESSIONS!!!!

“Anything short of an Erdogan style purge will ensure that this will not only CONTINUE to happen, but that next time they will make sure they succeed.”

The “purge” has to go all the way up to ObamaClinton who used the IRS, DOJ-FBI to try and demolish an opposition candidate and discredit and throw out the results of an election by getting Trump impeached. The memo is the tip of the iceberg and small potatoes.

Jeff “feckless” Sessions is now obstructing justice. And maybe even intentionally for all we know.

He’s telling the good guys in the FBI

Are we sure about that? That there are [m]any good guys in the FBI, I mean consider:

  1. Waco, TX — Used incendiary rounds, lied about their usage.
  2. Ruby Ridge, ID — FBI Sniper Slays Mother Holding her Baby wherein “Court records show that while the woman’s body lay in the cabin for eight days, the FBI used microphones to taunt the family. ‘Good morning, Mrs. Weaver. We had pancakes for breakfast. What did you have?’ asked the agents in at least one exchange.”
  3. Bunkerville, NV — Cliven Bundy-FBI debacle: Another example of why the feds need to be leashed
  4. AZ — Fast and Furious: FBI Now Linked to Murder of U.S. Border Agent
  5. Harney County, OR — Was LaVoy Finicum Murdered by The FBI? / LaVoy Assassination forensic PROOF released!
  6. Oklahoma City, OK Ruling reveals CIA involvement in Oklahoma City bombing investigation: When Kenneth Trentadue's body was sent to his family, it was covered in blood and bruises, leading them to believe he was murdered, according to Jesse Trentadue. He believes his brother was killed by FBI agents who mistook him for a bombing suspect and subjected him to fatal interrogation.
Seems like there's a lot more than just the top level guys that's needed to do things like this; and how many good guys would be needed to blow the whistle on some of the coverups in the above as opposed to the number involved covering up? — No, I think that what we're seeing is institutional in nature, not merely a few bad apples.

No, Sessions is saying the FBI is fine the way it is, a few bad apples, etc etc. YOu may disagree but don't mischaracterize.

The ‘memo’ is an official summary of documents and facts at hand. All of which were stonewalled by the DOJ and the FBI while Sessions was out chasing seeds of the evil weed.

So now that Comey et al have shown us the “rules” of the FISA game, has anyone got any good, unverified, salacious opposition research on Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosy, Steny Hoyer, etc.? Quick, send it to Trump and Sessions. Let’s get some non-partisan FISA investigations going!!! Goose VS Gander

I tend to agree with you, and hope and pray that you are right.

Because it is too much to think about him being as inept as he appears to be....

> He truly either is PATHETIC, or he’s a hero. I don’t have enough facts yet to figure it out, nor does anyone else here.

He's pathetic: Here's proof he was involved in literal treason.

Accountable? Sessions must be senile. He is completely oblivious to what is going on in his own department.

... as presented by the prosecution. Now, let's see the defense.

Were 'intelligence thugs' working with corrupt members of the press (Washington Post) to gaslight President Trump?

I believe that Trump's life experience has inocculated him from "gaslighting..."
