Unless Sessions has proof and indictments it is just MORE Kabuki theater.

***Trump is FORCING Sessions to begin to take some serious actions PUBLICLY! About time***

So Sessions should be openly leaking about ongoing investigations, even those who are before a grand jury?

Ok.

As per the norm, Trump forces the adversaries into an extreme position - in this case they were defending and standing up for Sessions.... Then bam.

I hope that theory is correct. We will know soon.

Positing a possibility for consideration:

It is exactly what Trump did with his major announcement at the hotel, where he then had admiral after general announce their support of him, playing the media like a well tuned fiddle.

But, my skepticism remains. Occam's Razor and all. Time will tell.

I think it’s something like that. The Media is being played here.

** I’m more inclined to believe that Awan being picked up is part of the Clinton Witness Elimination Program than anything Sessions did. Just look who arrested him - same folks who are running interference on the Seth Rich case. Awan is a dead man walking. **

Awan was arrested at Dulles Airport near D.C. (about 25 miles west, I think). Back in January, a man was arrested at Dulles for having a fake passport and his case was handled by the U.S. Eastern District of Virginia. I don’t know if that’s normal procedure or not. Source: https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/man-arrested-dulles-international-airport-fake-passport
Their website: https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva

For some reason, Awan was driven east to be arraigned at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where he was released, according to a Daily Caller article. (See reference below)

Debbie Wasserman Shultz has a brother who is an Assistant District Attorney for the U.S. Attorneys Office, District of Columbia.

I know a few years ago he was in the Violent Crime and Narcotics Trafficking Section, so if still true, he probably didn’t handle this case. You can do a search on his name here:
https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc

Source for Awan’s legal info: http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/25/wasserman-schultzs-it-aide-arrested-trying-to-flee-the-country/

** Bill Miller, spokesman for the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, told TheDCNF that Awan “was arraigned today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on one count of bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1344. He pled not guilty and was released pursuant to a high-intensity supervision program. The conditions of release are that he receive a GPS monitor, he abide by a curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and that he not leave a 50-mile radius of his residence in Virginia. Awan was also ordered to turn over all of his passports.” **

Like you said, Awan is a dead man walking. Sessions needs to put the man in protective custody immediately. Without him, they may all go free because I think the other brothers have left the country.

Every time you take someone from one branch of government and call them a good old boy and put them in another branch you just grow the swamp.
Sessions may not be up to the job and you probably need some new entergetic blood to clean the swamp.

Sessions planning to announce leak investigations

Handling "leaks" part of Session's new job description...

7 Months

Piss or get off the DOJ pot, poodle boy.

What if Sessions announces that Jared K. is the big leaker?

McCabe is running the FBI right now (no one wants to wait a few more days for Wray to be confirmed) and he is an avowed hater of Trump (and vice versa).

The FBI could be selectively investigating only Trump’s team (as they did during the election)
