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 Departments 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.
Come on Trump, don't let let this poor choice AG you made sink YOUR reputation with your base. You made a huge mistake. Cut your losses and get a true patriot AG in there before your base sours on you. We want justice.
“I think Sessions is slow playing. I suspect hes the quiet guy in the background on much good going on. I might be wrong, but his shtick externally is too obvious...
He truly either is PATHETIC, or hes a hero. I dont have enough facts yet to figure it out, nor does anyone else here.
Trump isnt stupid, if Sessions was truly this pathetic, wed hear about it loud and clear.”
You would see it if Sessions was doing his job. He is a weak, middle of the road, beltway, same old same old, bore. Trump needs an aggressive, sharp, no nonsense, fearless AG to help him and to help us.
Hey, come on....
You haven’t figured it out. Trump has been in charge of this game since before he was elected. It becomes more and more obvious that he’s several steps ahead at all times.
Sessions being either Rogue or Stupid does not fit what we are seeing. Might be, but I think Sessions has that little smirk going, because he loves playing....stupid. He ain’t...
No dept should be commuting crimes Jeff. Fire Rosenstein!

Jeff Sessions on Nunes memo: “No department is perfect”

Couldn’t be any more of a wuss if you were Obama, there, Jeff.
Consider that Sessions hired a slate of lawyers in the DOJ in late December. That was reported here on FR, but essentially came in under the radar. I still have hopes that these new, potentially untainted lawyers, may constitute the "appropriate" parties. We may not need a special counsel.
Well, if Trump was so stupid as to pick Sessions, what makes you think his next choice would be better?
Again, I might be all wrong, but I think we are watching some of the greatest theater the nation has ever seen.
“Oh BS....He said the way it is. What is he supposed to say?”
How about this office will aggressively pursue any and all unethical and illegal activities in the past and the future and bring justice to the American people.
He’s a dumbass.
If the Divine Providence relied upon by the Founders continues to keep America in His purview, then prayers and reliance on Him may require patience--and some "Goliaths" to fight yet more battles!
Sure would like to be proven wrong on the AG’s skills, but boy is that a lame comment by Jeff Sessions.
After reading YOURS and the 30 plus other comments so far all I can say is if you want to BELIEVE your own statement then you better be praying it's true 24 hours a day.
Most responses see what I'm seeing. Sessions Justice Dept has NO teeth.
His statement alone sounds like a mother who CANNOT acknowledge that her son could be at fault after being caught in the act.
Somebody do something wrong?
That wasn’t the entirety of his statement.
“Oh BS....He said the way it is. What is he supposed to say?”

35000 people work for the FBI.
If you are the head cheese, and you claim they are all bad, going to be fired and removed...?
One way to make honest employees of your staff, is to terminate with extreme prejudice the bad apples. You take a guy that sometimes broke rules and show them discipline, it changes them for the better.
Do you think Sessions is going to say what he really thinks considering the opposition party's influence in the DOJ and FBI.
Things are working out fine--but this is going to take time.
Have a little faith in Trump. He is a good judge of "horseflesh"...and that includes Sessions.
We have no idea what is going on behind the scenes at the FBI and DOJ.
Have a little faith.
Did you read the entire statement?
