.........................

Too many partisan democrats working in the DOJ...

“Sessions is too MEEK to assert control and actually lead the DOJ & its employees.”

I don’t know about that. His statement below:
“It would not be appropriate for me to comment on any ongoing investigation.” I think indicates he is keeping a lid on things and could be releasing some dirt soon.

Time for a general to take over, kick butt and fire and replace...

Or reign in those out of control to recapture control that had been lost before he ever got there. Obama embedded so many loyalists in all departments. It will take a while to extract them, if that is even possible.

I did not allege that Mueller and company are on Trump's team, at least not knowingly. They are being used to build a case that will be more solid and must elicit less liberal hyperventilating because it comes from them even as they futilely try to build their case against Donald Trump. Read the whole comment. Don't just glance at certain words that "trigger" a set of previously emplaced faulty assumptions.

“Sessions: We are working hard to maintain discipline in the department. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on any ongoing investigation.”

Translation : I haven’t drained the swamp and I spend all my time unsuccessfully trying to reign in the swamp creatures. It’s embarassing for me to reveal that the useless investigations I have done are going nowhere.

Trump should fire Waldo and hire an aggressive street fighter like Levin, Jennie Pirouette or Trey Gowdy.

I agree with that assessment. The Democrats all KNOW the Russian stuff was/is all about THEM, which is why they invested so much in trying to pin that donkey tail on the elephant.

But, in doing so, they have inadvertently convinced the American public that something nefarious went on, and that Russian espionage remains a threat. They have kicked up a screen of dust on which to project their Trump/Russia narrative.

But the Trump Justice Department is finally getting up to speed, cutting through the crap left by the Obama Administration, and evidently has the goods—if the news about the FBI investigation’s documentation is to be believed.

Not true, President Trump can stop him at any time. Thus he will not allow Mueller to investigate this for even his complete first term.

Trey Gowdy? Are you smoking crack? That man is all mouth and no muscle.

Please, stop dreaming. Sessions will treat the burning issues the same way he has treated the Lois Lerner & IRS issue : he’ll do nothing. He has recused himself from all things Russian or Clinton, this is fact, not asumption.

Oh, yeah. Discipline. Sure. There also may have been some discipline problems in another, associated bureau or administration. In a small city in the Midwest, potheads warned each other that “the feds are in town.” A stranger walked up to a restaurant counter and asked employees where he could get some pot.

That’s discipline, alright. They’re really on the ball. Next thing you know, they’ll say they have the big sweep all wrapped up and that Mexican gangs are behind all of the drug dealing. ...except that like so many other supposed investigations, there are nearly no Mexicans in that dope-ridden town—only the corrupt wealthy and connected locals.

The Trump DoJ is not “finally getting up to speed.” It is performing as intended. Putting this stuff out early and by Trump appointees would have been counter productive in many ways. Sitting tight and putting certain bits of evidence in front of Mueller and his team in a calculated manner that makes Mueller actually be the publicizer is much more effective and minimizes the shrill Democrat attacks. I have thought that DJT intended to leave the Clintons in place and unindicted because of the harm they were doing to the Party but it appears now that that may not be the case. In retrospect, President MAGa’s record of keeping campaign promises would suggest that his “offhand” remark that “you would be in jail” probably constitutes a campaign promise. The Clinton’s and their associates should be investigating the prospects of domicile in other places that do not have extradition treaties or strong economic ties to the USA.

Sessions is nothing more than a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

Someone tell Trump to get him out of there.

Your view is apparently circumscribed by blinders toward a presupposition.

He’s explaining why even the AG himself will not violate DOJ protocols by discussing any ongoing investigations.

That's how I read it as well. Maybe the reason why everybody thinks the DOJ and Sessions are doing nothing is because Sessions is "working hard to maintain discipline" at the DOJ and as a result no one's leaking.

It will happen but the case is being built of bricks stacked by Progressive agents and will be perceived as more substantial; because Mueller is the one who Trump will credit initially with it. Mueller will be very uncomfortable and probably highly exasperated but mute. He is certainly not going to announce that he was successfully “used.”

Are you serious? Mueller, Rosenstein, McCabe, were over the FBI, while uranium deal was taking place and they did NOTHING about it.

Jeff Sessions was hired to the Attorney General of the JUSTICE department, he is supposed to be enforcing our laws and bringing prosecutions against those who break our laws.

He has been a colossal failure and I hope the President will soon fire him.
