What you are saying is Sessions isn’t doing squat
regarding these investigations.
It is the IG doing all the heavy lifting.
A criminal referral was made a month ago
regarding McCabe, yet no indictment.
Where is Lady Justice?
“What you are saying is Sessions isn’t doing squat
regarding these investigations.”
Whatever he has been doing, he has been doing quietly.
One thing we now know, is that he has assigned a criminal prosecutor (US Attorney John Huber) to investigate potential criminal activity detected by the IG investigation. That prosecutor appears to have been working no later than November 2017, but very likely by August 2017 or earlier.
There is a debate about whether Sessions is a “white hat” or a “black hat.”
I suggest he is a “no hat.”
He turned in his cards, walked out of the saloon, got on his horse and rode away before the black hats and white hats started getting it on.
I criticized him at the time for his recusal, which was premature, vague and overly broad.
But now he is in a box and just has to wait it out. Having conceded that he has a material conflict and must recuse, if he were to start involving himself in any way in these matters now there would surely be a petition to have him disbarred for violating professional ethical rules.
Also, it has been leaked, even recently, that the Special Counsel has an open investigation into Sessions’ own contacts with Russians and allegedly false statements he made in connection therewith.
Having recused and allowed the Mueller coup attempt to get started, it doesn’t do any good for him to resign now, since McConnell, Graham, McCain and other GOPe senators, not to mention the Dems, have made clear they would not confirm any new AG who is not on board with the Mueller effort, or at least until that changes.
