Trump Asks Why ‘Beleaguered’ Sessions Isn't Investigating Clinton
cnbc.com ^ | Jul 24, 2017

Posted on 07/24/2017 6:56:32 AM PDT by Helicondelta

President Donald Trump publicly chastised Attorney General Jeff Sessions again Monday, criticizing him for not seeking an investigation of the president's former campaign opponent.

In a morning tweet, Trump questioned why congressional and intelligence committees and the "beleaguered" Sessions are not probing what he called Hillary Clinton's "crimes and Russia relations."

Last week, Trump criticized Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin. Trump told The New York Times that he would not have appointed Sessions if he had known he would step back from the probe.

Last week, Sessions said he had no plans to leave the job.

Don’t wake sessions up. He’s taking another power nap.

So...why does Trump need to tweet about why Sessions isn’t investigating hitlery? He should just call him in his office and ask him. As far as the congresscritters are concerned...do the exact same thing to the leadership.

Dear Mr. Trump,

Remember, you are the COACH, sir.

All those buzzards that work in the departments that you have cognizance and oversight, are there at your pleasure!!

FWIW, *I*, me, myself, have had contacts with Russians here in America, (and I do NOT count those Ukrainian girls in my high school classes!!)

If you're the AG and you're going to consider prosecuting someone like Clinton, you've got to consider all the charges and all the outcomes. There's a political aspect to such charges, and if I were Trump, I'd consider all the possible outcomes--the entire administration will need to shape the outcome, and be prepared to counter any attack or legal moves by Clinton. She would not take any charges lightly, and while she holds no current office, she was FLOTUS and SoS; she undoubtedly has dirt on many people, and would go down swinging.

I'm not saying she shouldn't be prosecuted, I'm only saying that one needs to consider the charges, the potential outcomes, and the political fallout should you be unable to obtain a prosecution.

Perhaps Sessions doesn't feel he has enough evidence or support to bring charges against her. Maybe Trump believes that he should press forward anyway. Session has a lifetime of experience, and knows that could be sullied, should he be unsuccessful in her prosecution.

“all the evidence has been discarded”

No way. So many blatant felonies by so many rats. Evidence should be like snowballs after the blizzard. Just pick them up.

Jay Sekulow would be fine or Larry Klayman. There are a number of good picks. I always liked Jeff Sessions but I did not think AG was a good spot for him.

Because Hillary was a senator.

Sessions can’t go after one of his own. That’s why squishy Sessions should not be replaced with another politician. Drain the swamp.....don’t try to rehabilitate it.

LOL. I think the goal here is to get Sessions to resign.

If Sessions doesn’t get the hint of course Trump will just fire him, but then we’ll have to endure all the talking heads screaming about “obstruction” for a few days..

Sessions enforces the law only against the poor and the weak.

He is the exact opposite of what a sane and moral person would want in an AG.

Sessions must go - and the sooner the better!

You and I have more than enough evidence to put her and her whole entourage in jail for life, if not to have them executed outright.

If Sessions can’t find that evidence he is worse than useless.

It’s time to consider whether Sessions is a secret member of the Clinton crime family.

She would “go down”...being the key.
Also, leaving no doubt to the world who she really is.
Let’s get all of the dirty laundry on the table..else we will forever be compromised.
Not to mention the “rule of law” would mean something again.

Face it. Giuliani should have been the AG from the get-go. Instead he’s disappeared from the face of the earth.

Sessions was a mistake. Now Mr. Trump MUST find a hard-nosed, experienced, conservative Justice Dept. prosecutor to take over and Trump cannot afford to let any grass grow under his feet.

The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Anyone know if Trump can order an investigation of crimes committed by the Obama administration?
