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

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.”

IOW, If these demoncrat employees & unions, in control of these various agencies, can exist in perpetuity despite who is elected...Why have elections? Is this what the framers envisioned? /rhet

The reason why we now have a corrupt 4 trillion dollar stasi state controlled by rabid lefties.

Sessions could have shown his allegiance to the President by firing Crooked Comey long ago without exposing the President...

....who really believes Mr Magoo Sessions is as incompetent as he portends? Not a peep out of Mueller’s prime enabler until Nunes is about to role out evidence of a mountain of criminality being conducted under his watch....

Oh so you’re not one of those who thinks sessions has a secret plan with Mueller to exonerate Trump and the arrest the Deep state collaborators? I wasn’t but I thought his recusal was necessary at the time but in retrospect I think he should’ve Have unrecused himself at least in part when Mueller started stacking the deck.

Just remember whenever they reference the DOJ as the source it is Jeff sessions

Are you saying Sessions is just a COWARD? Is that enough of an explanation?

“I wasn’t but I thought his recusal was necessary at the time but in retrospect I think he should’ve Have unrecused himself at least in part when Mueller started stacking the deck.”

The laughable part of all that is the focus on Sessions’ recusal. You see, according to the pundits in the know, he had to recuse himself. No mention of rosenstein or muellers conflicts of interest. No mention of whether they had to recuse themselves.

Sessions’ pick of rosenstein as his DAG, his subsequent recusal, and then the appointment of a soviet style special counsel DID NOT HAPPEN BY CHANCE. This coup was orchestrated by the corrupt state and Sessions well in advance.

When I see pictures or video of Sessions I really begin to question his mental competence. Watch his eyes, he always has a confused lost look about him. I dealt with a father in law who sank into the darkness of Alzheimer’s. I’ve seen that look that Sessions has before.

Thank you. Then it’s worse than I thought. I was thinking even if Sessions could not do anything, as one poster pointed out to me in a very courteous way, he could get the ball rolling after all

Your information was very helpful, thank you.
However, now I am more upset.

Sessions has no authority to do either of these.

Yes, Jeff, please stand against any unfair attacks on the innocent, but you should assist with prosecuting the guilty.

It almost makes me think that Sessions was cooped and planted by the Deep Staters into the Trump campaign way back in 2016...

Because Trump wants him there.

Does he? What caused almost every U.S. Senator to threaten Trump with impeachment if he fired Sessions?

That was big news last summer.

A lot of blah, blah.

If you think Trump makes his decisions based on those kinds of threats, then you shouldn’t trust him with the other big things.

Sessions is a swamp rat. No sooner was he sworn in, he rolled over and let the attack dogs of the left go after his boss.

If his recusal was legit, he would have resigned shortly thereafter, to allow the President to appoint someone who COULD do the job.

He wont sh!t, and he wont get off the pot. He’s either being blackmailed, or he’s a part of the conspiracy.

Jeff Sessions is human garbage. I really hate that piece of crap. After a year he should name his accomplishments. How many pot guys did he bust? How many double wides did he repossess?

I thought you were smarter that that. Apparently not. When you are proven wrong, and you will be, will you please do this forum a favor and leave? While you are at it take a few of the other freaks with you? I would love to see the average IQ of Free Republic double. Your departure would be a solid start.
