On the eve of the release of a potentially explosive new report, Attorney General Jeff Sessions defended the termination of the FBI’s top two former executives and warned that the forthcoming report on the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton probe could result in more people being fired.

Rod Rosenstein?

If not, it’s a no-go.

[txnativegop]

Sessions is bought and paid for, and now he tries to show fangs?

This schmuck won’t fire anyone, and will spend countless days defending those who should be fired.

[conservativepoet]

We’ll see. More firings to come per article.

[tirednvirginia]

Oh, now that the report is coming out, Sessions finally speaking up.

[Boardwalk]

Benefit of the doubt is about to expire for me.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I thought little Jeffrey was in full recusal mode. He needs to go back to writing poetry, playing the guitar or painting pictures of bowls of fruit. The grownups have this.

phooey.... Rosey has Jeff on video... /sarc

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Good rootin', tootin' shootin' partner! Go after them Deep Staters! Jeff Sessions is DA MAN!

[txnativegop]

Sessions’ benefit of the doubt expired long ago for me.

[rktman]

Uh, who woke him up? 👹

[Electric Graffiti]

Of course he does because that was the plan to implement a special counsel coup against Trump. ‘Never let a good crisis go to waste.’

The rat bastard defends his recusal, too.

[JPJones]

Careful Jeffy, don’t want to get your hair mussed.

[Alberta's Child]

I don't know why anyone on FR would give Sessions grief on this particular point. For better or worse, he's been absolutely consistent on this so far.

The IG report covers the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation, and Comey's conduct in that case was precisely the reason why Sessions recommended his termination.

[Electric Graffiti]

“Oh, now that the report is coming out, Sessions finally speaking up.”

Yup. Goober Magoo knows the report is going to make comey the fall guy. The report may even go so far as to say Comey made grave mistakes in the Clinton ‘investigation’.

[Jayster]

“Some of the concerns that have been raised are not true” ??????

[conservativepoet]

Agreed

[ETCM]

He also reiterated that Comey was fired for screwing over Hillary. Mess with Hillary and you will be held accountable. Do what you want against Trump...

[DarthVader]

He must now fire Rosenstein. We want his head.

[PhiloBedo]

Deep down, I hope Sessions redeems himself. At this point, it’s anybody’s guess. I’m leaning with the “he’s being blackmailed by the deep state”, crowd.
