As Republicans Attack The DOJ And FBI, Sessions Vows To Stand Up To 'Unfair' Criticism
Reuters ^ | Dec. 15, 2017 | Joshua Roberts

Posted on 01/26/2018 4:26:56 PM PST by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

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.”

“There is nothing in his statements to indicate otherwise.”

Don’t forget when the news of the FBI texts first broke back in December, Jeffery said they all had “innocent explanations.”

Fire Sessions yesterday. I don’t care if he says he wants to go back to Alabama or what. He has been a CRAP attorney general.

Sessions would have best served us had POTUS left him in his senate seat. Now we have a useless (or worse) Atty. General and our majority in the senate has shrunk by one seat.

I've said it before... POTUS needs to make better personnel choices.

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

___________

He certainly isn’t giving any indication that the information contained in ‘the Nunes Memo’ could implicate persons directly below him in felonious activity...

So, YES, he is clearly covering for Stroke, Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe, etc.. Who clearly were involved in a conspiracy to commit SEDITION against the legally elected President’s Constitutional authority.

“If anyone falls short of these high standards, we will not hesitate to take appropriate action,...

Sessions comment is inappropriate. Strzok, Page, McCabe and others are still employed. Appropriate action hasn't been taken. That's strike one.

... and we will do so in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Department,” Sessions said.

Another inappropriate Sessions comment. Sessions is the AG. He's the top guy at the DOJ. If the rules prevent you from firing Strzok, Page, McCabe and others, then you change them. That's strike two.

“And, while we are open to fair criticism, we will of course defend our investigators and prosecutors from criticism that is unfair.”

Another inappropriate Sessions comment. He says it as if there's a wave of unfair criticisms being leveled against his investigators and prosecutors. Name a couple. That's strike three.

Sessions strikes out again.

The easiest explanation of the totality of Sessions performance as AG is #NEVERTRUMP shill for the GOPe.....co-conspirator & enabler of coup attempt based upon an absolute transparently fraudulent expose paid for by his own FBI.

If Sessions is serious, he should do two things:

1. Repeal or nullify someway the Civil Service rules that prevent people being fired for any reason.

2. Get rid of THE PUBLIC SERVICE UNION. They never should have been allowed to form.

We have been frustrated for years with the numbers of people...I won’t name them all here...who should have been fired at least.

I’m going to repeat this until more people agree.

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.

Yup. Or at least don't leave the DOJ, on all Clinton matters, in the hands of Rod RosenSwamp.

Yep, I’ve been getting the feeling that sessions recused himself as part of the conspiracy. This latest is sad and does nothing but discredit the DOJ and FBI. The DOJ and the FBI should immediately be investigated by the homeland security the farther away from a career investigator the better. Maybe even the Secret Service should Heavily be involved since it appears to be a threat upon the presidency.

Educate yourself more, embarrass yourself less.

Sessions hasn’t provided the public with any accounting for the FBI funds used to pay for the production of ‘Pee-gate’....

....his recusal doesn’t negate his responsibility to search out and expose the matter of federal funds being used to generate libelous political a political candidate.

Everyone saying Sessions is on our side should hang their heads in shame. The shame of abject idiocy and buffoonery.

All those twitter idiots...imperator-rectum, wictor, anonymous queer, etc should deactivate their accounts and go do something else with their time.
