Hmmmmmmmm ... could be ...
A very bold statement. Is he going to do anything about it?
Nothing about CNN in his work history here:

If Sessions doesn’t come up with something very soon as far as the corruption and in-your-face law breaking especially in the last administration, I will have to totally agree with Greg Jarrett of FoxNews.........Sessions should resign.
Last night the Alabama crowd was chanting “Lock Her Up” and Trump said, “You’ll have to talk to Jeff Sessions about that.”
Seems a little slow on the uptake in figuring that out.
Was Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III as worthless when he was Alabama Attorney General as he appears to be as US Attorney General?
Maybe, just maybe, Mr. Sessions is ready to outsource for some backbone. Time will tell.
It’s possible Sessions could be using an internal investigative unit inside the DOJ, possibly the OIG or a secret unit, to investigate Clinton, Obama, Comey, etc. The FBI may be out of the loop.
Here are what some of the enemies of Jeff Sessions are saying (go to the articles for the specific accomplishments):
Jeff Sessions has done more damage in his first 100 days than his boss
US attorney general Jeff Sessions may not be part of the biggest investigation in the Department of Justice, but as he reaches 100 days in office, there’s little doubt that he’s had an important impact on the American criminal-justice system—potentially for years to come.
Despite the political turmoil of the Trump administration, Sessions has moved to reverse a tide of progressive reform and to fulfill his boss’s law-and-order agenda, a collection of concepts loosely articulated during the 2016 presidential campaign. Sessions’ biggest actions, from undermining federal oversight of police departments to cracking down on undocumented immigrants, have worried a wide array of lawmakers, law-enforcement leaders, advocates and scientists.
“Of all the cabinet members, maybe even the president, he has to this point had the most significant impact as to policy changes,” said Jesselyn McCurdy, the deputy director at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Washington Legislative Office told Quartz.
Unlike his boss, Sessions is delivering on what he has promised—sometimes on causes he has championed for decades.
“There’s been a great bipartisan movement by organizations on the ground and members of Congress to reform the federal criminal-justice system, based on successes that have happened in the states, but the leader of opposition to that reform was Jeff Sessions, as a senator from Alabama,” McCurdy said. “These are all things that [Sessions], as a criminal justice reform opponent, had on his radar already.
McCurdy said Sessions was “definitely” living up to the ACLU’s concerns, and in some areas, fulfilling the worst-case scenarios.
Jeff Sessions ushers in 'Trump era' at the Justice Department
In just over two months, Sessions has proved to be a central figure in effectuating Trump's vision for America in tangible ways on immigration, crime, police reform and civil rights.
And while the White House searches for new messaging to frame what Trump has accomplished in the first 100 days in office, Sessions has single-handedly managed to make several significant domestic policy changes -- from pressing pause on implementing police reforms to withdrawing Obama-era protections for transgender students in public schools.
His radical transformation of the Justice Department's role is no accident.
Many of the changes Sessions has made thus far track a familiar principle of federalism: the notion that the federal government's powers are limited and it can't coerce states into action. In other words, the federal government should get out of the states' way.
Sessions' critics worry that he is well on his way to undoing many of the major progressive achievements of his predecessors, often by withdrawing from court cases or previous directives that fail to align with his views. Yet Trump supporters cheered Sessions on during the presidential campaign when he said, "the American people are not happy with their government."
Now that Sessions is the nation's top law enforcement officer, his defenders and critics universally agree: he's been busy fulfilling the President's campaign promises and he's just getting started.
Mueller is ‘Swamp Justice’.
Waiting for the right time to go on the offensive? If so, it will be even better than election day back in November.
Perhaps Whitaker can add some backbone to Jeff Sessions and, more importantly, force Rosenstein to do his duty to rein in Mueller from his out of control legal rampage!
I’m from Alabama and have voted for sessions several times. I’m in a 3rd camp.
Sessions erred badly by recusing himself.
But I’m not sure it matters. Trump made a massive mistake in not firing EVERY SINGLE ONE of Obama’s political appointees at 12:01PM on Inauguration Day.
I’m still not sure that would have done it. The infestation of liberalism in Washington DC is lethally toxic. It will take YEARS of presidential culling to get the rot out.
There is a war in progress between the lovers of Big State and lovers of Individual Liberty. Right now, we are losing badly.
Well, there's a real confidence booster. /s
Second group...wishful thinking.
Rosenstein will do whatever is needed to impede or sabotage Whitaker’s efforts.
I think that the Huffington Post is a POS commie propaganda rag.
If you were AG and wanted to convict people--not just arrest them or put on a show --
Would you make it public?
COULD BE?????
