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.

They can “charge” anyone with anything...proving it is another matter. All this is political for impeachment and rising to this crescendo because things are getting tough for the cabal...expect more frenzy before the bottom drops out. Kavanaugh will be approved, the House will stay Repub and the Senate will increase in Repub in the mid-terms, and then it’s game on...

Sorry Good Buddy. I know enough to admit to being a clueless chump at cyberspace debate. Faith works in mysterious ways and I am a faithful patient hombre. Entonces, here is my green card.

What are we on the right? Total weenies, it would seem. How come Obama could have a well-oiled politically subservient Justice dept that did exactly what he wanted? I blame Trump here for picking this guy etc.

".....If the MSM knew what was really going on they would go after Sessions......"

So how exactly do you "go after" a US Attorney General who is doing his job within the law? Jeff Sessions is snoozing on the job and the only time he gets negative press (which doesn't harm him in the least) is when he actually does something which supports His President.

"....the number of sealed indictments 10x the normal amount, and the Fact that Session is not LEAKING anything...."

I don't believe the sealed indictments song and dance. Unless Sessions and Huber are typing them by hand after hours personally ...they would have leaked. Everything leaks in the District of Corruption. There are no leaks because Sessions is not doing a blessed thing but chasing a few wacky tobaccy dealers.

RosenWeasel is at least as compromised by the investigation as Sessions, but he was left in command by Jeff for the purpose he is carrying out of undermining our President. The most forgiving think I can think of is....Sessions is being blackmailed, probably involving family...to such an extent that he refuses to do the honorable thing and resign. PDJT isn't playing games with his verbage. He wants Sessions to resign and the guy is obviously not doing it regardless of what his boss says. Perhaps Sessions has some dirt on the boss, learned during the campaign, and is holding that against our President? I don't know, none of us know for certain, but PDJT doesn't talk like that to his ally. If this was an inside plan he would treat him the same as how the media treats Sessions....mostly with silence.

Lindsey Graham is fishing for friends since John McCain has been so sick.


It’s been eight months since anyone’s even seen that back-stabbing son of a bitch.*

Another disgusting thing about our worthless government is that NONE of the elected representatives of we-the-people seems at all curious as to whether the son of a bitch is even alive or dead. Where else could you get a job like THAT except the government - where you get to do NO WORK for eight months and no one seems to notice or care?

* And, no, Jeff Flake doesn’t count. I don’t believe a word that weasel has to say about anything.

Sessions must have no pride or must be serving Trump’s enemies to take such public rebukes without resigning.

The list of sealed indictments are from a .gov website so I think it real. It also shows the previous years and during 2017 and 18 its ballooned.

I can post the link in a while if you want I don’t have it close by

“effectuating”

Is that a word? Sounds like something you would do in a bathroom.

We have had enough.

That’s how I feel. I don’t even feel like listening to Rush or Hannity (or anyone else) anymore. I don’t need to be told, again and again and again, that we’re being screwed over. I get it.

We elect people to take care of this for us, but our elected representatives AND the “justice” department are obviously mostly corrupt and in on it - so they’re literally worthless. That leave’s no one except the President, and even HE’S frustrating me lately because all he does he tweet and talk and NEVER uses any of the power at his disposal to actually DO something about this situation (like, uh... FIRE that geriatric deep-state fool Sessions instead of complaining about him every other week!).

So, for me, it’s despair MIXED with anger and rage - because I see the enemy advancing THEIR position, week after week, however they possibly can (through the media and courts) and I see our side, week after week, doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop them - making me wonder how many people that are supposed to be on our side really ARE on our side.

I had a dream (sounds silly I'm sure)
But in the dream I heard a man say John McCain is dead.

I don't know that Lindsey Graham has any other friends (other than John's daughter who will probably be sitting in the senate too)

i recall reading about that back then - comey was one big continual lie in office and likely out too - just like hillary and others- say what they think will help them in the moment -all about themselves, their greed and desires, not about truth or facts or law.

Their god is themselves.

It’s unnerving to live thru but God will take them down in His timing.

He's not only worthless, he's delusional.

I really wish POTUS would can Rosenstein as Sessions said he'd resign if that happened.

BTW, what ever happened to that letter of resignation Sessions claims to have put on POTUS'S desk over a year ago? He should accept it NOW!

PDJT needs to quick tweeting about the crap that the DOJ doesn't do and FIRE his ass already.

I agree completely. Put Joe di Genova in there, although at this point even Alan Dershowitz would be an improvement.

Kavanaugh will be approved

We'll see. I bet dollars to donuts that the turtle delays the vote until after the election. Or even worse, they make Kavanaugh say he will recuse himself from anything Trump. That will leave the lower courts in control of all Trump cases, more specifically the DC lower courts.
