Many conservatives would scoff at the idea that Attorney Jeff Sessions is President Trump’s most effective cabinet member. They would cite his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation (probably the right call), his refusal to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton (probably the right call), and his failure to remember various obscure meetings with Russians, etc. (unfortunate).
But those who pay close attention to policy know that the Sessions Justice Department is advancing important conservative causes and undoing key liberal policies of the last administration. In fact, as the Washington Post puts it, he is reshaping the Justice Department.
The Post is dubious authority on many propositions, but it knows very well who is harming left-liberalism. It correctly perceives that Sessions has made “dramatic and controversial changes in policy since taking over the top law enforcement job in the United States nine months ago.”
Matt Zapotosky and Sari Horwitz provide this overview of Sessions’ key initiatives and accomplishments:
Sessions has implemented a new charging and sentencing policy that calls for prosecutors to pursue the most serious charges possible, even if that might mean minority defendants face stiff, mandatory minimum penalties. He has defended the president’s travel ban and tried to strip funding from cities with policies he considers too friendly toward undocumented immigrants.
Sessions has even adjusted the department’s legal stances in cases involving voting rights and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. . . .
I don’t think the word “even” belongs in the second quoted paragraph. It’s telling that the authors put it there.

Most INEFFECTIVE....EVER! Bush’s Democrat Transportation Secy was more effective than Wimp Sessions!
The only way to RESHAPE anything in Sodom on the Potomac, is to fire the entire belt way and start over. But, those entrenched liberals and communists in Foggy Bottom will have to die off to get them out. They are in so deep, they are a cancer and even radiation and chemo would not get them out.
Totally worthless.
...”his refusal to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton (probably the right call)...”
right call!??????????????????!??????????????!!!!!??????
.......no need to read any more from that author! what krap!
the entire country has developed an almost-total disregard and cynicism of the law, largely due to HilLIARy, Obama, SorozNazi especially, DebbieWasherwomanSchultz, Pelousy, and FakeSquawaHaunchas.....and this author doesn’t want even an investigation of the criminals that nearly destroyed America!???????????
Bezos owned and Soros led Progressives (nee Communists) at the WaPo trying to bolster Sessions reputation in order that DJT supporters will back off criticism of him and so Sessions remains in office (aka vacation) continuing his total ineffective pursuit of justice (as long as it isn’t Russian or Hillary).
Although there are many that should be fired, there are a several that need to be shot and removed from the population.
Shot, they can cause no further harm
speculative drivel
Barney Fife is in charge at the DOJ. Trump should have fired him a long time ago.
Are Trump and Sessions playing ART OF THE DEAL????
Maybe the WP is right....”?????????
Jeff Sessions was in Las Vegas on July 12th praising the Acting US Attorney Steve Myrhe who’s prosecuting the Bunkerville Standoff case.
Myhre opposed using the Constitution as a defense in the first two trials (First and Second Amendments) and got the judge to go along with him.
At the third trial now underway new evidence about an FBI buildup with heavily armed agents (snipers) around Bundy Ranch has been released.
Cliven Bundy said the sniper threat he and his family detected were relevant to all the people showing up exercising their Second Amendment right. Myhre fought release of this evidence claiming non-relevance.
The first two trials with six defendants should have had that evidence.
Other articles the author has written:
Is Adolph Hitler the most wonderful man Germany has ever produced?
Is Charles Manson just another fuzzy guy who likes puppies and kitties?
What an idiot. This article is so stupid, the author should be shot for writing it.
He’s doing a great job but it’s very narrowly focused and he seems afraid to step out of his narrowly focused comfort zone.

Immigration and drugs are two of Trump’s campaign issues but what about CORRUPTION?
Maybe we’ll all get a big surprise in mid 2018.
Absolutely, just ask Barry and the b!tch.
An emphatic no!
Turn loose the Session lovers and believers in Santa Claus who think he’s secretly working with Mueller.
Nikki Haley has impressed me the most. The EPA secretary and the Education secretary come next.
Nikki Haley has been a good soldier with not deviating from Trumps plan. Nikki may end up Secretary of State,.

“promoted the rule of law by issuing a new charging and sentencing policy”..unless it impacts the elites.
After Session’s visit to Las Vegas, the Government released evidence they had been suppressing. Coincidence?
Sessions is Trump’s best and most important cabinet appointment.
