Sessions makes his move
American Thinker ^ | J R Dunn

Posted on 03/19/2018 4:48:12 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Sessions is the quintessential Eagle Scout. He will follow the rules down to the last subclause and will not make his move until every "t" has been crossed and every "i" dotted.

We saw the first results of this approach last Friday – in dealing with Andrew McCabe, this century's prime example of a "cookie full of arsenic."

Sessions waited until the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility (which is run by Assistant Director Candice Will, who was appointed by Robert Mueller, of all people) recommended that McCabe be fired. He then had McCabe officially informed beforehand, following established procedure to the letter.

This comes under the rubric of "strategy," a concept unfortunately foreign to too many active conservatives. A large number of cons recognize only one course of action: a headlong charge against the closest target while howling at the top of their lungs. Not only do they dismiss any more subtle form of action, but they often attack those engaging in it of cowardice or corruption, or of being an "Alinskyite-Obamaist commie stooge" – despite the fact that their kamikaze runs usually end up heading over the nearest cliff.

So it was with Sessions, who has been routinely dismissed as "paid off," being "asleep under his desk," or as "part of the swamp."

Sessions took his time, did things according to the book, and dealt the swamp a good, stiff blow while leaving its denizens little recourse but to throw tantrums in the media, which they have been doing the weekend long.

Let’s see an indictment of McCabe and then have him go after Rosenstein. Then this can be more fully asserted

That's a German, not an Eagle Scout.

Very early on, Sessions put the asset forfeiture machinery in place.......

This silent strategy will redound to his benefit......

The A/F laws are aimed at Obama and the Clintons, make no mistake.

The Sessions approach seems to be working well. Give him another 10-15 years and he might nail somebody.

No flames from me either, but I worry that the Queensbury rules Jeff is using will work against today’s cut-throat democratics

BS, BS, and more BS. We don’t live in a vacuum. Every one of Sessions detractors, like me, know the procedure we see from our DOJ Offices in our cities and towns. Where is the federal grand jury that should have dragged in 50 FBI agents by now and given them the opportunity to flip or take the 5th. That is what they do to civilians here in Ohio. Why are Sessions deep state elites exempt?

Uh...no.

It's been my impression that "cuckservatives" are biggo vaginas and don't do shite about shite. Who has this author been watching? And, as Q would say,

Trust Sessions.

All you anti Sessions swooners can suck it.

p.s. Good morning, errbody. :)

The article is correct. I witnessed the procedures in the firing of a ROAD Navy chief. We joked about taking an act of congress etc... but there is a documentation trail, an evaluation trail, a daily log etc... then hearings, a redemption process, re-hashing the documentation after the redemption phase... it took a few years. And the near-do-well Chief Petty Officer had become retirement eligible and retired. It is not an easy task. And uses up valuable time and effort for those tracking poor performers.

The timing of Jeff’s big move is the most interesting part of this and is fueling the swamp with cries of “unfair””.

Giving him 10-15 more years everyone in Chicago will be dead.

a headlong charge against the closest target while howling at the top of their lungs. As opposed to moving so mind numbingly slowly that 2-3 generations of school children get indoctrinated.

McCabe is in the middle of the totem pole. Above him are Comey, Lynch, Power, Brennan, Kerry, Crooked, and of course, Hussein.

Sessions was only nervous about being the next guy to be fired. He finally had to do something.

Sessions did the right thing and now he needs to fire Mueller once the report comes out.

They have that cry on speed dial, no matter the timing.
