“I think the democrats knew he would be confirmed. All the bashing was to make him gun shy about going after the corrupt higher ups. Hope it doesn’t work.”
You are exactly right, this is what the Dems have been doing right along, making an Ogre out of Sessions so that he wouldn’t go after them, at least not right away, because he would be too afraid of looking like the nasty portrait the Dems have painted of him.
This is where Sessions has to take a lesson from his Boss, Donald Trump, and double down on going after all the corrupt pond scum infesting our gov’t, and indeed drain the swamp. Sessions must not be intimidated now, and in fact should do just the exact opposite of what the Dems are expecting. They think they have done a really good job in their attempt to destroy Sessions’ reputation (see Elizabeth Warren’s latest antics for an example).
Sessions should be tough on the corrupt, wherever he finds them (ready Hillary?) from the minute he sits down at his new desk. The shoe is on the other foot now, and Sessions is in control. Eliminate the cesspool that has found an all too permanent home in Washington D.C.
I hope that he has Sheriff Joe Arpaio on speed dial to appoint him as a an “independent council” to investigate Obama’s questionable records. Then maybe thrown under the bus “Obama appointee” General David Petraeus could look into Hillary’s insecure home based email server?
Lock her up.
