“It is not an overstatement to say that the entire future of our country hinges on the real nature of Jeff Sessions.”
Actually, that IS an overstatement.
“Is he [Sessions] just another corrupt Washington, D.C. swamp rat? Or has he....just been biding his time, executing a plan that will result in the beginning of real enforcement actions....?”
You are presenting a false choice, as there is a third alternative - namely, that Trump has decided not to press criminal charges against Obama era officials, but rather to focus on setting things right for the future.
It could be argued that when the Democrats went after Nixon with the Watergate scandal, their initial success in destroying a Republican POTUS was short lived - it was the Democrats who were hurt the most in the long run. Similarly, most agree that going after Clinton over the Lewinski scandal was a political faux pas - it would have been far better for the Republican brand if they had just stayed out of it and let Clinton embarrass himself in front of the American public. Impeaching him made hm a martyr.
Similarly, the Democrats are hurting themselves badly pursuing Trump over this ridiculous Russia crap - everyone can see that it’s a politically motivated witch hunt. The American people simply do not appreciate witch hunts and they punish the witch hunters.
Trump is not a fool who ignores history - he knows he is BENIFITING politically from the Mueller witch hunt. They are making Trump a martyr. So, if trying to end Mueller’s investigation by force could risk the appearance of obstruction, and he’s benifiting from it anyway, it seems like a no-brainer: let Mueller be.
Meanwhile, while the Clintons, et al are guilty of plenty, they are mostly marginalized - out of the picture. Yes, there are Obama era holdovers who remain in Trump’s DOJ and FBI, and that is infuriating from a fairness standpoint. When I think about the lack of equal justice my blood boils.
But Trump is not an emotionally driven leader. He’s not going to fly into a rage and get indignant about the lack of fairness. Anyone waiting for Trump to lose his temper like Nixon and start firing people and indicting Democrats - is in for some bitter disappointment.
I’m telling you - he doesn’t care about that. He is forward looking and just wants to set things right for the future. He is not the type who would take any pleasure in seeing his political enemies locked up.
Trump’s “because you’d be in jail” debate zinger was fun, but he’s smarter than that. When Republican and Democrat politicians start trying to lock each other up - Houston, we’ve got a problem. It would just continue a vicious cycle of retribution and the will of the people get lost in the shuffle.
These recent congressional committee hearings and senate hearings should leave you with one important takeaway: this is about party politics. Every single Democrat is in one side of the narrative and every single Republican is on the other side! Think what that means. If Democrats wind up locked up, it will be because there were enough Republicans - and not enough Democrats to stop it. If Trump gets impeached it will be because there were enough Democrats and not enough Republicans to stop it.
So, no matter how real the Obama era crimes were (and they were very real), any indictments and prosecutions and jail sentences served on Democrats will be seen as political bullying by Republicans - it will mean nothing! The only verdict that counts in politics is the one given by the voters.
Let Trump focus on America First and MAGA. Don’t measure his success according to how many Democrats he can lock up - that’s not what the American people elected him to do.
Au contraire.
I voted for President Trump for a number of reasons, the most important of which was his promise to clean up the Deep State.
So far, he has done a good job of reducing regulations and putting more money in our pockets. But it is time for him to begin the personnel cleanup.
It is my fervent hope that Sessions and Huber have been working behind the scene preparing solid cases against the main Deep State players. Waiting until after the November elections to release the dogs makes sense to me.
However my perspective tells me if there is no accountability for criminals and no rules that must be followed by the opposition at some point the system will utterly break down. We clearly were very close this time around with Hillary. Totalitarians within our federal government decided THEY were going to be in charge of this nation and not the American People. That is a fact that should scare the $hit out of every patriotic American. It's an almost certainty that if a significant number of the actual criminals of the obama era do not end up in prison they will only be more emboldened and more brazen in the next election cycle. It has been my belief that the lack of accountability when JFK stole the presidency was the actual tipping point for America. The level of corruption in our political system has been downhill ever since. It was at that point the Democrats realized they could steal the presidential election. The danger lies with the fact that although the democrats of the JFK era were left leaning they were still on the whole very patriotic Americans. That does not hold true today. Were are not facing Americans with a different viewpoint we are facing the enemy that is out to destroy us. At this point we just have to trust our President.
So, no matter how real the Obama era crimes were (and they were very real), any indictments and prosecutions and jail sentences served on Democrats will be seen as political bullying by Republicans - it will mean nothing! The only verdict that counts in politics is the one given by the voters.

Sir, I think you make some good points but your argument that Republicans and Democrats should be left alone and not prosecuted based upon some “perception” of “political bullying” that some might conjure up in their little minds, thereby kind of handing them (pols on both sides) a sort of “exemption” from BASIC LAW is....., pick your adjective. I’ll be polite and just say “crazy”.
I can live with that...
afterall, we have to live with a lot of things we don't like...like basketball players getting $150million dollar contracts and those taking care of the elderly barely making minimum wage...
HOWEVER, Trump has to realize that the left does not quit, does not retreat, does not regret their illegalities, and will definately be back to do it all again...like jaws...
finish them off...
