Attorney General Jeff Sessions pushed back against President Donald Trump on Thursday, saying in a statement released by a spokesperson that the Department of Justice would not be "improperly influenced by political considerations" hours after Trump attacked him on television.

"I took control of the Department of Justice the day I was sworn in, which is why we have had unprecedented success at effectuating the President's agenda," Sessions said in the statement which was posted on Twitter by Justice Department spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores.

“The fact he came out with a statement that in effect says “I will not resign” makes it clear whos side he is really on. Sessions is deliberately protecting the Obama criminals and hillary. “

Yup. That was apparent to most of us after he first recused himself. He has defended rosenstein countless times against criticism...He’s never defended Trump that I know of.

Had AG Sessions started pointing his accusatory from day one, he’d be dead. Understanding, documenting and prosecuting criminal and their syndicates is difficult. Ask Seth Rich. The AG is a good poker player. He WILL act decisively to the shock of many (here :( ) and fill military courts and prisons LIKE GITMO with some rather high profile TRAITORs from Both Parties.
If not, call me Dr. Mud.

No doubt as one of Trump’s earliest supporters, Donald was seriously duped by the deep state into thinking this guy would be a great cabinet selection...especially AG.

I’m sure Chris Christie was instrumental in pushing this guy too.

I can’t wait to see how this plays itself out. FBI plants left and right and then a plant that Trump picks to run his Justice Dept. I’m sure the Russians are loving this.

You can’t make this stuff up!

Since Jeffery the Traitor has no part in the ‘Russia Russia’ Con, Fire him for his general incompetence.

“What do they have on him?”

My guess is a tape of him killing gerbils with his colon.

Garbage, Trump won’t make it to the elections. They now have two witnesses will to say Trump paid off bimbos to influence the election. Petty as it may be, there are many republicans that will join the democrats to impeach and then remove Trump. Even if repubs win in the midterms, a dead duck congress will get it done before January. You watch ryno and turtle, they will get behind it.

These bastards, Sessions, Rosenstein, Wray & Mueller are all out to destroy Trump, and they are close to succeeding. Trump should roll the dice and fire them all and explain the reasons in a chat to the American people. Appoint a special prosecutor to investigate, Mueller, Brennan, Clinton, Holder et al. there certainly is enough evidence against them.

“Finally! A crack in the wall of protection around Sessions in the Congress.”

For sure! And just think about how Trump has had to win over his own Party’s elected people! All of the “manufactured roadblocks” by the GOPe have not deterred Trump from moving forward in every direction imaginable. Just think of what the last year and a half COULD HAVE BEEN with the unqualified support of his own Party! Trump even makes Ronald Reagan look like he was trying to find second gear ( and I loved RR, but facts are facts).

I thought primary responsibility for enforcement of such laws were the purview of Homeland Security

As a law enforcement agency yes, it is the responsibility of DHS. Only the DOJ represents the People in Courts of Law, however.

The appointment of Sessions has just been a complete disaster all the way around. Shortly after taking office, he caves to media pressure, and puts a Bushie in charge of the Russian collusion investigation, which ultimately leads to the appointment of roving independent prosecutor who is investigating everything but Russian interference.

He handed off investigations of surveillance abuses under the prior administration to the toothless IG’s office, basically burying that issue, before an investigation had begun.

On top of that, we lose the Senate seat in ALA-frickin’-BAMA, to a liberal(not even a fake moderate) Democrat.

He only got the job because he was one of the first to endorse trump in the primary and Trump values loyalty. Everyone who has lived in this world for a while knows that sometimes loyalty to an incompetent person will bite you on the ass.

I still don't see where this is a campaign violation.
