Like I assume many of you, I've spend much of the past year boiling with anger towards Jeff Sessions. He first got caught like a deer in the headlights with respect to the biggest issue facing the Trump Presidency, somehow not managing to remember critical events. Then he recuses himself from the Russia investigation, leaving Trump to the wolves, i.e. Obama Deep State holdovers infesting the Department of Justice, intent on destroying his Presidency. As a literal soft coup attempt against a sitting President seems to be progressing in plain view underneath his command, he seems completely asleep at the wheel. And to top it all off, the one topic that has seemed to wake Sessions from his stupor, cracking down on legal marijuana, seems politically suicidal and anti-liberty, not to mention a complete waste of time and money.
But . . . I've come to rethink my view. Starting from the bottom, OK, I disagree on marijuana, but allowing states to defy federal law on marijuana undercuts the case to crack down on them defying federal law on immigration, which to me is a far more important issue. Yes, Sessions seems quiet in terms of cracking down on the Obama loyalists at the DOJ, but then, this is not something that can be done in a way that seems in the least way political. We don't need a grandstanding press whore like James Comey, we need someone to quietly take action and build the case. With the string of departures at DOJ/FBI, I'm starting to have faith that behind the scenes he is doing this. Recusing himself then, seems like less of a profile in cowardice and more of a shrewd move to place himself and his actions above reproach, even as he goes about pursuing his prey. If all of the above is true, the failure to remember critical events just becomes a pretext to get himself out of the spotlight on the issue.
I don't know for sure whether the reality is the former or the latter, or something in between, but as time passes, I'm becoming more and more convinced it's the latter.
Btw, right along and intertwined with the #U1 crimes goes the Clinton Foundation crimes. Hoping many 2nd level players get convicted for dirty CF dealings.
In fact, some may want to plead guilty to CF related cries as part of a deal to testify against the top #U1 criminals in the FBI/DOJ and elsewhere.
I too have wondered about “Sessions & IG investigations” not being leaked.
Seems to me we don’t know nothing has not been leaked. We only know not so much has been reported. There has been some info RE the IG’s work by, for instance, Byron York. And others.
If the leaks say “they’re all busted” in one way or another, well the MSM ain’t so interested to report that. And if the indictments were long ago filed it’s to late for the perps to do anything about it.
That said, I don’t think there been very much leaked. Proper compartmentalization will keep that to a minimum.
