He better succeed on these ancillary political activities, because he has proved useless to Trump and Trump supporters.

He has broken Trump’s back. The bell hasn’t rung yet, but when it does, you can lay the cause at Session’s kindly toes.

Look at the Clinton Foundation BEFORE they “refiled” 5 years of taxes.

How about focusing, as well, on Obama stealing millions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to secretly fund the failing Obamacare? Oturdo stole this money from private investors.

Trump's back is not broken.

A lot of us are at the same place. Sessions squandered valuable time going after marijuana and civil asset seizures. Trump finally had to publicly goad Sessions into considering the possibility that there was a swamp to be drained.

Now we get the old senatorial fallback: talk talk talk. That’s what being a senator for decades does to a person. It makes them think that talking accomplishes something. ‘Actions? What are those? The sound of my own voice trumps actions any day.’

I remember this from when it was happening. The banks were ordered to give loans to people that couldn’t pay them, then when the banks foreclosed or sold the bad mortgages and it all went under, the banks were forced to give money to the very organizations that forced them to give the loans in the first place. The taxpayers, who had to bail everybody out, got nothing.

It seems like Session’s work has improved recently.

"The Mouse that Roars".

The Mouse that Roared was a movie about ‘taking’ America, funny stuff... ’

I think of Sessions as brilliant and scrappy... and a polite gentleman on top of that... Very powerful combination... totally throws off superficial democrat airhead types.

We investigate, we discover wrongdoing, we identify illegal funds...and NOT ONE DAMNED THING HAPPENS.

I agree whole heartedly about Mr Sessions, notice no leaks from his office, and don’t think I have heard a EJ leak this week
Was the WH bugged.

I don’t know that it was ever bad... I like Sessions, and it made me sad when the rumor was he was going to have to go. I would have acceded to Mr. Trump’s decision had that happened, but it would have been a bitter pill to swallow. I like getting rid of Rinse and Mooch much better, and I THINK I’m into the idea of canning HR Puffenstuff, but I’m not entirely sure, too much #fakenews floating around on the issue.

You got that right.

THE OBAMA MODUS OPERANDI------portrait of a government shakedown.

Good ol' boy Joe Biden (right) was in top form----warning BP execs (left) if they did
not come across w/ 20 billion dollars, the Obama admin would take it from BP.

And look at the sincere look on the half/caste face of the Royal Idiot.
Means Jarrett (left) probably had all the offshore wire-transfers set-up into French Polynesia secret bank accounts.

Also present: DHS Janet Napolitano and Labor Secy Hilda
Solis. That's COS Rahm Emanuel's hand w/ pen at lower right.

UPDATE: There as a big show of handing a couple million.....but the 20 billion is till unaccounted for.

It was Clinton and his HUD secretary Andrew Homo responsible for that outrage. Flat out threatened banks mafia style.

No question....Obama forced banks to give millions in govt-imposed penalties to La Raza and ACORN.....(for voter registration initiatives and other voter fraud schemes?).


Obama and Congressional Democrats——with a huge assist from then-AG Eric Holder——have given NeighborWorks America (formerly ACORN) and La Raza a huge funding source of tax dollars to achieve Obama’s dream of a permanent Democrat majority.

Obama/Holder/Dems are forcing taxpayers via DOJ litigation WRT bank settlements——into paying off these nefarious organizations.

DOJ went after CitiCorp and ordered them to pay $50 million to La Raza and NeighborWorks America as part of the settlement.

Another clause in the agreement makes it possible for La Raza and NeighborWorks America to rake in even larger amounts of money.

Of the remaining money the banks needed to pay in settlements, the banks were able to contribute additional money to La Raza and NeighborWorks America. For every dollar they contribute, it reduces their debt to the government by 2 dollars. That’s some mighty powerful incentive to give generously.


House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling have questioned why this money was sent to the ACORN clone and the blood-thirsty LaRaza——rather than to the alleged victims of the bank’s crime. The administration of course declined to answer.

Here’s part of the Congressmen’s letter to Holder: “It seems that the alleged victims are not the primary beneficiaries of these multi-billion dollar settlements. Instead, the terms in the Justice Department’s two latest settlements look less like consumer relief and more like a scheme to funnel money to politically favored special interest groups.”

“This makes donations to activist groups far more attractive to banks than providing direct relief to injured consumers. As a result, the settlements appear to serve as a vehicle for funding activist groups rather than as a means of securing relief for consumers actually harmed.”
