As Republicans Attack The DOJ And FBI, Sessions Vows To Stand Up To 'Unfair' Criticism

With his Justice Department and FBI facing broad attacks from some of his former colleagues on Capitol Hill, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Friday that he’ll stand up to any “unfair” attacks on the men and women of the Justice Department he now oversees. Sessions, in a speech in Norfolk, Virginia, on Friday, mentioned the “sharp criticisms” of DOJ coming from Congress. He said the Justice Department demands “the highest level of integrity, ethics, and professionalism from every person” in it, and that all employees are expected to “advance the mission of the Department honorably” in the service of the American people. “If anyone falls short of these high standards, we will not hesitate to take appropriate action, and we will do so in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Department,” Sessions said. “And, while we are open to fair criticism, we will of course defend our investigators and prosecutors from criticism that is unfair.”

The world finally hears from Sessions concerning the mountain of evidence that he currently oversees the most corrupt DOJ & FBI leadership team in history. What do we hear? NOTHING, but more obfuscation ..... not a word about him firing those that conspired to commit sedition against the duly elected President of the United States....his boss.

Clearly the most impotent AG in American history.

He should have appointed a special counsel independent of the DOJ months ago to investigate wrongdoing in the DOJ/FBI/IC.

Now of course they have had months to dispose of evidence and coordinate their defense and lawyer up people like Strzok and Page with party lawyers to keep them from turning government evidence.

Once Sessions decided he had to recuse himself (an incorrect conclusion, in my view) he should have had the honor to resign so as not to saddle the president with a recused AG.

“So, why is McCabe still there?”

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Also, it will be easier to arrest them for sedition and bring them before committees if they still work for the government.

All the circumstantial evidence points to Sessions being part of the attempted ‘palace coup’....after being appointed he immediately rolls over and lets the attack dogs go after his boss.

“If anyone falls short of these high standards, we will not hesitate to take appropriate action, and we will do so in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Department,” Sessions said. “And, while we are open to fair criticism, we will of course defend our investigators and prosecutors from criticism that is unfair.”


AG Sessions he will do the right thing, which is exactly what Trump wants. There is nothing in his statements to indicate otherwise.

Deep State supporters relying on the old media, will take this to mean the AG will protect the Deep State.

But he is clearly saying he will root out the corrupt.

It is pretty good evidence that he and Trump are on the same page.

“Sessions he” should be “Sessions says he”

He won’t be far away, being paid high six-figures by a DC law/lobbying/consulting firm.

He ISN’T saying the current criticism is unfair, is he?
