Hard to believe people can be so impatient only two years after the fact.

It hasn't been 2 years, you bonehead!

Even by mid-summer last year Trump still didn't have much of his team in place, thanks to the feckless GOP Senate who is dragging their asses on his confirmations.

You really expected Hillary et all to be indicted on 01/21/2017?

You people are used to AGs preening and dancing in front of cameras doings daily press conferences and going on the late night shows.

Thank God Sessions is AG

I'm going to defend the "feckless GOP Senate" here. The delays you saw in the confirmation process last year weren't caused by the Senate dragging its feet. They were caused by long, complicated background checks for many of these appointees.

When President Trump announced his selection of an appointed for a senior post, that didn't start the confirmation process at all. From the Senate's perspective, the nomination doesn't even become official until the background checks are complete and the nominee's name is handed over to the Senate along with whatever documents were prepared in the process.

For some of these nominees that process took months. The process was more complex than usual for many of Trump's nominees because they were so wealthy and it took a long time to figure out if they had any financial conflicts to be worked out. Robert Wood Johnson IV, who owns the NFL's New York Jets, was named by Trump as the ambassador to Great Britain in January 2017, but his nomination wasn't formally sent to the Senate for another five months.

It has been two years since sessions's co-conspirators started the surveillance on Trump and their plot to take him down. And someone that worships sessions and still thinks sessions is not a traitorous POS has no business calling anyone a bonehead.
