Follow the money and cut it off works on the international Stage equally as well as here...in fact the “ International Big Boys” are in a game of economic war the likes we haven’t seen before.....the NWO cannot come together without the steady flow of revenue from the movers and shakers....much of that comes out of Saudi Royalty either directly or via funneling...and their investments in pretty much everything.

This is a blow....and it will be very interesting to see how this pans out once the dust settles....Saudi officials can and do do things rest of the world leaders wouldn’t dare do.....but they will let Saudi do it for them.

Trumps deals with the Sauds weren’t free...tsk tsk.....

And nobody gave two dead flies that Holder was Obama`s
butt boy. Good on Sessions for not being corrupt like
Holder. The so-called ‘Fourth Estate is supposed to
care about these things but all they are willing to
do is to protect the swamp. Sessions won’t be helpful
in draining that swamp unless he decides to be
aggressive. Is he aggressive now? Maybe he is.....but
maybe he isn’t. More and more it looks to me like the
swamp is intimidating him.

Sessions is not the enemy. He is trying to drain the swamp.

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.

Look, don’t waste your efforts on me. I don’t consider
Sessions to be an enemy. But, I believe that he lobbied
Trump for the AG position as much as, if not more
than anyone else. That some Trump stalwarts don’t think
he is getting his money’s worth does not surprise me.

I am educating you, not trying to persuade you of anything. I have worked with Sessions and his office for 10 years on the immigration issue. We couldn't have a better AG on that issue along with trade. Steve Miller, his chief staffer, moved to the Trump campaign early on. He wrote the position papers on immigration and trade. Miller is one of the main stalwarts of the administration.

Sessions spent 12 years in the DOJ before running for the Senate. He has been on the Judiciary Committee overseeing DOJ operations. He was the ranking member but McConnell screwed him and did not make him the chair of the committee. You need to read Sessions brilliant 2014 piece that became the template for the Trump victory, Becoming the Party of work. It should be required reading for any Rep running for elective office.

Partner, I think we know that our FBI is so useless right now and it was all because that America Hating, Piece of Work, Imposter Obama wanted it that way.

There have been great people before in the FBI but that was a long time ago.

Unfortunately, our FBI needs a very thourough housecleaning which President Trump can not perform until this jokester Mueller finishes his Russian collusion investigation.

Paul Ryan and McConnell are so gutless and they will not perform their jobs as required by our Constitution.

I agree, dump on RosenKrantz. And Trump for allowing RosenKrantz to be running the Dept. of Jokers....

"U ain't lying."

Agree that we need some housecleaning in the Justice Department. Tomorrow would be fine but these jokers for some reason do want to do their job.

We know it is frustrating but somebody in the Trump administration or even our incompetent Congress should have seen the train wreck coming with that Imposter Obama as our POTUS.

I’ll say: I was wrong. Jeff Sessions is my hero.

Thank you. I appreciate an honest answer.

9 months isn’t instant.

Compared to how long it took for our country to end up this way, it is.

Although it's too early for you to judge for whether you were wrong or not, I thought you would be interested to see this.
