I admit ignorance of the process.
Who, exactly, makes the call to investigate Clinton? Couldn’t Trump order Sessions to investigate Clinton?
What undeniable is that Trump has signaled very strongly that he no longer has confidence in Sessions. If Sessions had the integrity we thought he had, he would surely have picked up on this and resigned by now. That he won’t and hasn’t serves to prove Trump right (as usual).
That's what I am wondering - couldn't the President order an investigation?
Stop asking why & just do it. Stop talking about the crimes & start investigating & prosecuting.
My understanding is Trump can make a “request” to DOJ to investigate, but the AG has the final say. I’m way to late for this thread but first he said “Lock Her Up” and then said she and her family have suffered enough. Now he wants to go back lock her up.
The second the deep state and the media came after him, and Hillary and Obama opened their pie holes, he should have unleashed the hounds on the whole Clinton crime family, and Obama Administration. Now he looks like a school boy crying that they did it too.
The fact that Trump is making this public is telling me that Sessions is likely resisting investigations into Hillary, likely because he's too soft and gentlemanly to do it, thinking that because of his recusal he can't go after a former Trump political opponent.
Sessions will clearly be gone in a short time, and Trump is basically telling him publicly that it's time to resign.
