Other members of Congress, such as Trump supporters Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows have called on Sessions to resign, saying that, “By recusing himself from the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the United States election, Sessions has lost control, allowing for a leaky and unnecessarily overdrawn, partisan investigation.”
All painting the picture of an inept Mr. Magoo as Attorney General, letting the lunatics run the asylum, doing a grave disservice to his president and the country.

Now the opposite scenario, that AG Sessions is indeed a ninja, working behind the scenes to drain the swamp, but doing it, out of necessity, quietly yet methodically.
What is Sessions’résumé? 12 years as a U.S. Attorney, two years as Alabama AG, three terms as a conservative U.S. senator, one of the earliest supporters of candidate Trump. Nearly 30 years navigating the swamp through a solid conservative lens. To say that he doesn’t understand current events or the significance of his role in all of this is hard to fathom.
Trump is no fool. And he doesn’t suffer fools either. Watch speeches or interviews from decades ago and Trump’s core beliefs have changed little. He has spoken constantly of the swamp, fighting the establishment of the media, Democrats, and even his own party. Why would Trump tolerate an inept AG, rather than uttering his famous, “You’re fired!”
Jeff Sessions offered to resign in September of last year, and before that in June. If Trump was so displeased, he could have accepted Sessions’ resignation. But he didn’t. What if this is all a grand charade? A deception to keep his enemies off guard?

Nincompoop!
>Time, as always, will tell.
Taking nothing for granted, worst case scenario says 4 years. He’s pissed away a bit over 1 already.

We have become so accustomed to AGs who “do their job” in overtly political and public ways that a real AG would appear to be either ninja or nincompoop.

To the ninjas I ask, “Where’s the PROOF?”.
Oh, he’s (help) round up a few hundred head of illegals. NOTHING vs. govt officials. Loves him some asset forfeiture and Oregon railroading of ranchers.
All in all, nothing, to me, says ‘outsider’, let alone ‘gentleman’.
“Well how ‘bout a platoon of marines to shut down Mueller and his fellow witch-hunters?”
In the middle of the night while he’s sleeping with his sow like the prick did to Manafort.
The most damning evidence that he's not a "ninja" of all is the fact that so many on the left, the media, and GOPe defend him and threaten Trump not to fire him. If he was anywhere close to going after treason and sedition on the left, there would be a very active campaign to destroy him.
Sessions’ record as a complete failure if not traitorous scoundrel is clear:
1. Took the job as AG then immediately recused himself
2. Refused to support his replacement in election causing loss of Senate seat
3. Allowed the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the President with no evidence of a crime
4. Refused to appoint a special counsel to investigate the obvious crimes of the democrats and DOJ agents
______________
Why is it so hard to understand these points? Are we stupid or what?
Sessions is the most valuable player on the Deep State team. He has singlehandedly done Trump more harm than all the Leftists combined. His bff, Rosenstein—in conjunction with dirty cop/Clinton-fixer Mueller—may yet take down the Trump presidency.
Sessions morphed into the Enemy Within the instant he got the official title of AG. That’s not Trump’s fault; that’s on Jeff and Jeff alone.
Trump’s latest tweet sums it up. No faith in Session or his justice department. Scary.
Why did the Obama Administration start an investigation into the Trump Campaign (with zero proof of wrongdoing) long before the Election in November? Wanted to discredit so Crooked H would win. Unprecedented. Bigger than Watergate! Plus, Obama did NOTHING about Russian meddling.
There already is precedent.
Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell was "found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury and sentenced to two and a half to eight years in prison for his role in the Watergate break-in and cover-up... The sentence was later reduced to one year from four years... Mitchell served only 19 months of his sentence."
Democrats put a Republican Attorney General in prison, and now our Republican Attorney General is afraid to investigate Democrats for conspiring to spy on political opponents during an election.

Yes, I forgot. But that was a Republican so you can send them to jail.
To me, he's not afraid of setting a precedent, he's just afraid of taking bold action because it's in the DNA of Republicans to cower from use of power against Democrats, even when Democrats show no hesitation in return.

You may be right. I’m far from the ninja group myself.
the first “report” of Pres. Trump referring to Sessions as “Mr. Magoo” was on Feb 28 when the Post ran an article, followed that evening by the NY daily news parroting the story late.
This followed a week of Pres. Trump taking a strong leadership role in holding historic listening sessions regarding both school shootings and the opioid crisis
On Mar 1, the Post re-ran their story, updated of course, but still with no source.
for the next five days, the MSM has run with the story as if it were confirmed.
Jake Tapper even did a comparison between the two. Everyone is having so much fun. But was it even said?
Or was it created as just another psyop distraction meant to debase our president after a successful week? Bearing in mind, the WaPo is the tool of the ........
Frankly, the American people are getting tired of his crap (e.g., recusal, seeming abdication from the job, endless Mueller out of control nonsense, FBI issues, etc.). From all the evidence, Session is more Milquetoast than Ninja and I don’t think history will be kind to him for being such a wuss in the face of such problems. Unless we see some bold action following the IG report, I think it will be clear that he’s just another gutless, don’t-rock-the-boat swamp critter.
If there really was some massive investigation going on that Sessions is heading up, I'd expect to hear about SOME commotion coming out of Sessions' office, but I hear very little. After all, the investigation has to be run out of an office or offices somewhere! One would think a Democrat MSM would be watching daily for any clues, if only to begin a disinformation campaign, but there isn't even that.
So I'm in the camp that he's doing nothing, because I can't believe that an investigation as massive as "draining the swamp" can be done totally in secret with no signs of comings and goings of personnel anywhere. Somebody would know somebody else who would be acting coyly, or suddenly has a different routine, or who got a new assignment they can't talk about, etc.

Yes, you make good points, something would have leaked by now. Sessions is just going through the motions.
5. Has refused to turn over documents requested by Congressional investigators for almost 2 years running.
He is very obviously protecting the DOJ and the FBI.
I agree with you. There is absolutely no indication that Sessions is doing anything. Someone called Rush ,a little while ago, and asked why nothing is being done about the mayor in CA. Zero, nothing, nada. If ever there seemed to an open and shut case this is it and again Jeffy is nowhere to be found.
“Don’t forget taking NO REAL ACTION against ‘sanctuary cities/states’ for obvious violation of US law.”
There are many many Freepers that did not drink the Sessions groupthink koolade
There is a third option - a competent AG would NOT publicize and politicize their actions in any way.
At this point, I have no evidence in any direction on Sessions. I have seen speculation and avocation in all three directions, but I do not know what the truth is.
Time, as always, will tell.
Well said. I have been making these same points for months.
