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.

What’s really amazing is Trump’s own justice department, men that he selected, are trying like hell to get him kicked out of office and apparently there ain’t a thing he can do about. That is unbelievable. Sessions should resign for the good of the country. With his recusal he started the entire witch hunt that will go on as long as Trump’s in office. If Sessions had a decent bone in his body he would resign and Trump could pick an AG that actually supports him, who could then fire Mueller and Rosenstein.

Yep I’m for real. FR Member since Jan’1999. Contribute to JimRob semi regular, etc...

There are a few of us here on FR that trust Sessions. We are a small minority though.

I dig endlessly for stories... Do lots of research. So I do think I’m on solid ground on this.

I wonder though about everyone on this and other posts that have called me all kinds of names if they’ll apologize when it’s proven that Jeff is a white hat and a friend of Trump. If I am wrong I’ll come back and throw myself on this court of opinions.

Q is the most massive disinformation campaign the left ever initiated. It’s all about keeping the Deplorables distracted long enough for Trump to be removed. Jim R. would be well-served to remove these “Trust the Plan” threads.

So are you saying Sessions will start to investigate Clinton, Jarrett, IRS, Rice, Holder etc? Do you honestly think he will put a stop to this witch hunt, and do those investigations?

“Session’s is not as he appears. A very busy man who has greatly benefited from being dismissed as a fool. Trump is not his target.”

BS!

He’s had 18 months to show us his target, yet, the ONLY person that has taken hits has been Trump.

Those are bit players. Let me know when Comey, Hitlery, or Obama, Strokz, or anyone else takes the hit with criminal charges.

That’s about enough from Auntie Sessions. Get someone who won’t neglect the work that really needs to be done. Out with the henhearted sissy maids who’ve been licking the cankles of those who perverted American social norms.

They're lawyers. They've wanted and struggled to be like their cleric friends in Iran by subduing and controlling the other two branches of government.

Jeff Sessions: the dork who recused himself to avoid self incrimination in improperly influincing politics by covering up high crimes committed by Hillary and Co.

Just reverse the title of the article.
‘Actions of DOJ will not be improperly influenced by political considerations

Political considerations are improperly influenced improperly by the DOJ.
There fixed it.

Trump and Sessions see each other at least once a week, whenever the Cabinet meets. They don’t have to duel via twitter and the press, unless the intended audience for their arguing isn’t each other.

I’ve noticed that never once has Trump asked Sessions to resign. Never once has Trump said “I’d fire Sessions except for....”. Plenty of people have invented excuses for why Trump doesn’t fire Sessions, but he’s never given one. And Trump has the sole authority to fire Sessions, Myers v United States- there is no “except for the AG” or “except when it would trigger obstruction of justice” addendum to that scotus decision.

So to me this still looks like kabuki. We don’t know what investigations are being run by the DOJ. It might be the ones that we have been hoping for. They aren’t required to tell us anything so we are all in the dark, both the critics who believe that Sessions has been doing nothing; and those like me who suspect that there is no way that Trump would sit by and let that situation happen. Well there are a couple of guys who do know what the DOJ is investigating- Sessions, and Donald Trump.

“Then the simplest explanation is that he’s perfectly fine with the DOJ and doesn’t see a “problem” — right?”

That’s right.

My question for the Sessions haters is:

If Sessions is to blame for single-handedly ruining Trump’s Presidency, then why is it not ruined? If Sessions is to blame for single-handedly enabling the Mueller witch hunt, and therefore certain impeachment, then why does the President keep not getting impeached?

Can you find a Trump quote where he has asked for Sessions to resign? Or a Trump statement where he says that he would use his authority to fire Sessions except for (fill in the blank)? I’ve never seen one.

“please explain to me how this supposed “theater” is going to keep President Trump from still being attacked by the media & the Democrats?”

You assume a fact not in evidence, that Trump is the least bit upset by attacks from the media and the Democrats. Seems to me that he rather enjoys using them as his whipping boys.
