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.

“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.”

I used to think you’re right, now I think Sessions was the Senate’s “mole.” I’d love to be proven wrong, but I don’t think I will be.

Don’t know if it has really happened, but there are claims that the DOJ has stopped the lawfare that was used to fund leftist NGOs.

They are pretending there is a rift so when Sessions drops the hammer on Hitlery, the LSM can’t honestly claim POTUS influence

“ANYONE would have been better at this point, he should have picked me..Clinton would have been in jail already!”

Sarah, I don’t know you, but I would support you as a replacement for Sessions today! Anyone with a lick of common sense could run the DOJ at this juncture and it would be a 1000% improvement. $hit, my Golden Doodle could run the place better than it is today. She knows how to fetch a ball! Sessions couldn’t catch his own a$$ with both hands and a catcher’s mitt.

Sessions is not loyal! If this man had any integrity at all he would have taken the hint and resigned. 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.

Mr. President the people stand behind you. Fire Him!!!

In the statement prepared for him by Mueller/Rosenstein.

“I hold Sessions completely at fault for what our country is being put through. Without his recusal we’d not be here and rest assured this will never end! I hate these people!”

YES! While uprooting and incarcerating most of the FBI and DOJ is important, it isn’t so nearly important as Trump prosecuting his plans for changing the country. At the end of the day, most of the people don’t give a $hit about holding the holdovers accountable. But they do see their weekly paychecks, and the world gaining newfound respect for our country with Trump as President.

I agree.....but he is running out of time. Some of the stuff he has going needs to be wrapped up soon.

There is a reason Lanny wanted to distance Cohen from the dossier......he knows that will blow up sky high at some point.

Muleface had his day in the sun. Between now and Nov, it had better be the good guys at bat.

Jeff Sessions - President Trump’s Silent Executioner
Submitted by dc on Mon, 05/21/2018 - 16:31

It’s been painful to listen to many on team MAGA complain about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, accusing him of ineptness and promoting the narrative that he needs to resign. This idiocy has spread to knowledgeable right-leaning media personalities that clearly have no idea what’s happening, and don’t appreciate the size and scope of what Sessions has been undertaking.

The primary focus of Attorney General Sessions is to restore integrity and honor to the Department of Justice. He has been doing an excellent job running a tight ship and keeping details about ongoing investigations confidential. AG Sessions is doing everything to the letter of the law.

After Jeff Sessions was confirmed, the line of whistle-blowers outside his office must have been as long as a Bernie Sanders-style USSR breadline. Sessions’ entire time as head of the DOJ has been one giant sting operation. The Clintons and Obama officials have been exposed. Long term FBI employees have been demoted and fired, while others provide witness testimony. Being a member of the deep-state isn’t as fun as it used to be.

AG Sessions, likely last summer and unbeknownst to everyone, appointed a special prosecutor from outside the swamp of DC, all the while Trump supporters, including congressional committees, yelled for him to “do his damn job” and appoint one. I suppose Sessions got tired of listening to them cry like uninformed children when he he disclosed the name of the prosecutor: US Attorney John Huber from Utah.

“I am confident that Mr. Huber’s review will include a full, complete and objective evaluation of these matters in a manner that is consistent with the law and facts. I receive regular updates from Mr. Huber and upon the conclusion of his review, will receive his recommendations as to whether any matters not currently under investigation should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any matters merit the appointment of a special counsel.”

Jeff Sessions disclosed he had the prosecutor a few weeks before he named Huber, yet nobody was able to discover his name. Nobody. A few weeks later, he decided to disclose the name. Mr. Huber is the LEAD prosecutor, which means there are more than one prosecutor working in-step with Mr. Horowitz. Nobody knew it. Think about that.

I have no doubt the uninformed will complain about something else in lieu of common sense, but that’s expected. The Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, announced an investigation into the FISA abuse. I heard the uninformed complain that this is happening so late, but that’s because, again, they’re uninformed and aren’t curious about what’s happening with their country. Instead, they like to throw temper tantrums. Inspector Horowitz and his staff of 500 attorneys and prosecutors collected 1.2 million documents of evidence. This work does not need to be done again, as they have everything. The scope of his original investigation allowed for him to go down other rabbit holes as he found them. This announcement by Horowitz simply is a means to create a new specific report destined for the special prosecutor.

Sessions is Horowitz’s boss. Sessions is FBI Director Christopher Wray’s boss, who doubled his staff to comply with congressional document requests. Sessions is Rod Rosenstein’s boss. Sessions is also the boss of the US District Attorneys. Currently, there are over 25,000 sealed indictments spread over the 94 federal districts across the United States. That is many times more than what is typical, as that number was racked up over the last 8 months. A lot of criminals are going down. This is all under Jeff Sessions. Sessions is also going after sanctuary cities, rolling up human traffickers, fighting illegal immigration, investigating leakers, and when he has some free time, he likes to take tours of GTMO.

The reason why many are upset with Jeff Sessions is because Hillary Clinton is still free. We’re all brainwashed to think the Clintons aren’t going to be brought to justice. I have that Pavlovian response as well. If you’ve followed them for the past few decades, you’ve seen them slither away countless times as others are arrested or put underground. They’ve been able to accomplish this under the umbrella of the Bushes, Clinton, and Obama, and recently under a Holder and Lynch DOJ.

Not under President Trump, and not under a DOJ with Jeff Sessions as the helm.

Investigations take time. It’s frustrating when you see a criminal walk around in broad daylight, but these people have some of the best attorneys in the world. If there is any gray area for a mistrial, they will seize it. Therefore, investigators must make sure everything is done by the book with no chance for prosecutorial misconduct. Would you rather her be indicted now and go free from a mistrial, or wait a little longer and have a clean, slam-dunk prosecution?

In 2014, ex-California State Senator Leland Yee was indicted for a laundry list of crimes, including weapons trafficking. He was just sentenced this February, four years later. He received five years, which seems like a slap on the wrist, so clearly was singing like a little birdie. How many others were arrested? How many of those flipped? How many are connected to the Clintons? This was a large sting, but compared to the Clintons and their decades of crime, this was stealing a pack of gum.

Last month we learned there’s an empaneled grand jury, likely for the handling of the Clinton email investigation. That means indictments are coming soon. Andrew McCabe kicked off a legal defense fund. Robert Mueller complied with Judge Sullivan’s order to turn over exculpatory evidence in the Michael Flynn case. It’s likely Flynn will be exonerated. The wheels of justice are turning and things are moving forward, and Hillary Clinton’s day is coming, as is Obama’s.

All of this is happening under the Attorney General. He has been orchestrating a masterful takedown of these criminals. All other crimes aside, remember they attempted to take down the American President and rig our election — not just sweep a massive national security scandal under the rug. They will not go unpunished. The MSM will react by framing this as a political takedown, led by President Trump, which they’re already doing after the President ordered an investigation into the spying by the Obama administration. Since Sessions did everything by the book, we will have a mountain of indisputable evidence to negate such accusations.

Don’t listen to the parrots on the news channels. The more they talk, the more they prove how little they follow the actual news. They are reacting like brats because they aren’t accustomed to not receiving leaks from the DOJ. When the hammer comes down, it will be glorious.
