“The Attorney General of the US is not an “under the radar” position - the things he does have to be visible to be effective.”

What’s your reasoning behind that statement?

AG is very much an “under the radar” position. AG is like the top prosecutor - like a DA. They gather evidence and build cases over a period of many months - knowing they have to be air tight. They “turn” witnesses, run sting operations the success of which are HIGHLY dependent on stealth, secrecy and cunning.

The targets can’t know they are targets, and in this case many of the targets are lawyered up, and highly trained in counter-intelligence, covert and even black ops.

You better believe AG is an “under the radar” position - but if you still hold that it’s not - don’t just say it - please give us your rationale.

There are those who would demand that the DOJ provide hourly pressers updating us on their every move.

Then there are those with common sense who want the DOJ to conduct criminal investigations methodically and meticulously, leaving no holes in their cases.

The US AG does none of these things. His office and the prosecutors who work for him do these things. Sessions holds a post designed to provide executive oversight over federal prosecutors and present a public face to the nation for the Justice Department. Sessions fails at both - the notion that he is personally running sting operations based on stealth and secrecy, and is therefore a complete nullity in the Trump administration is absurd.
