Sessions fires back at Trump
The Hill ^ | 08/23/18 | MORGAN CHALFANT

Posted on 08/23/2018 4:24:37 PM PDT by miami33

Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a rare statement Thursday said that the Justice Department “will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.”

In one of his toughest statements following criticism from President Trump, Sessions defended his leadership of the Justice Department, which has come under increasing attack from the president and his allies....

“While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. I demand the highest standards, and where they are not met, I take action,” Sessions said in a direct response to Trump's interview on Fox.

“However, no nation has a more talented, more dedicated group of law enforcement investigators and prosecutors than the United States," Sessions said.

Trump should have fired Sessions the minute he recused himself. They want him out of office any way they can. ANY WAY.

FU Sessions. The DOJ is behaving very politically on behalf of Democrats, and you are busy chasing pot-smokers. FU FU FU.

“While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. I demand the highest standards, and where they are not met, I take action,” Sessions said ...

Could he provide list of actions he’s taken? Perhaps just one.

So Magoo recused himself from Russian collusion yet he stood by and watched Paul Manafort, a man he worked with on the campaign, be put in solitary confinement for a 2005 tax matter that had been previously looked at & dismissed by his pal Rosenstein. Trump is right, what kind of sick man is this guy?

If they are not letting politics influence them, then why hasn’t Hillary and company been indicted?

If Sessions had one hair on his fanny, he’d announce his resignation and seek God’s will for his life elsewhere.

Sessions recused himself the day after Trump appointed him.

He knew all along he was going to recuse himself, and he didn’t have the integrity to inform the President of that fact.

Sessions is as sleazy a swamp denizen as there is.

Sessions says: I demand the highest standards, and where they are not met, I take action.

Jeffey, is this is a cruel joke?

Sessions has allegedly cut out allowing the DOJ to steal money from private sector companies they have sued as settlement “fines” and turn it over to miscellaneous Leftist NGOs, tax free.

Okay, let’s say recusing himself was legitimate. But what stops him from going after the Clinton Foundation? Uranium One? The E-mail Files? Lolita Express? Feinstein’s spy.., er driver? Andrew Cuomo? ANYONE with a D behind their name??!!

The law is the law? CIA director lies under Oath to congress during testimony! Where was the law then,oh he hates Trump,lying is ok move on.
Every Hillary scumbag associate gets immunity,Hillary got cleared to prevent her Presidency being seen as illegitimate
When she took office,according to the Director of the FBI Comey.They destroyed evidence under subpoena!
Where was the law Mr.sessions?
I think the book of law sessions is following says,Law only applies where we want it to apply against Trump and anyone he knows,EVERYONE else gets A pass.
And let’s not forget who else who was right in the middle of this crime syndicate,Barrack Hussein Obama,the scumbags name who may not be mentioned.

In the hierarchy of traitors, Jeff Sessions will be right up there with Quisling, Benedict Arnold and Judah Iscariot.

He is either a coward, or a traitor knave, probably both.
