You have a problem with AG Sessions? People who know — more than you do — could explain to you your error.
FYI try perusing posts by LS. You will learn something.
Yeah I have aproblem with him. He has done nothing in 8 months but declare he wants to illegally seize property from US citizens without due process.
Meanwhile Hillary, Obama and the rest of the gang are allowed to undermine our country.
A Quarterback who continually throws interceptions must be replaced.
Sessions had ‘HAD’ a lot of support here on FR by many longterm Freepers, but not now.
There is no overriding reason WHY Sessions needs to remain in the position. It was not made for his name. The AG position could be occupied by any one of a thousand qualified persons. Sessions is not unique to it.
Sessions, as the President remarked, should never have accepted the position knowing that he was opening a backdoor to people that would harass the President unto impeachment. Even today, Hillary Clinton is saying publicly that she will be contesting the election results once Mueller finds grounds for obstruction of justice.
And it was Sessions that opened the backdoor to all of this.
Sessions was offered the position as a reward for his support early in Donald Trump’s campaign in Mobile, Alabama when 35,000 people showed up in an open stadium in a windy storm to rally for an American they knew would stand for American principles. Donald Trump would later reflect as President that Sessions appeared at that rally on stage with him because the crowd was massive and he knew his constituents were in complete support of Donald Trump. In other words, Sessions played politics.
Sessions played politics with many foul decisions of the US Senate including his vote for the Iran Nuclear Deal which the President has rightly described as making no sense whatsoever.
Some Freepers provide useful information on occasion but such info is often inaccurate. For example, a Freeper endorsed McMaster by claiming Bannon supported bringing in McMaster. Look now today at the exchanges in the press between Bannon and McMaster. Freepers are prone to what so many others fall into which is ‘Garbage In - Garbage Out’.
Freepers provide on occasion useful info, but no Freeper garners blind faith.
Sessions is a good and faithful Christian who unfortunately appears on occasion to be dumber than a box of rocks or is seen to place his own views above the President he serves. Unless Sessions witnessed a clear infraction by the President regarding Russian collusion, there was absolutely no need for him to recuse himself, and if there was even a hint of conflict of interest, he should have informed the President that the AG position would be better served by someone else.
The President needs smart, able, high-energy, politically agile members of his Cabinet. Sessions does not cut the mustard.
The President needs an Attorney General who has no baggage, who is not politically encumbered, who will not cower to the scare tactics of established groups in Washington. Sessions has none of these qualities.
Unfortunately, should Sessions step down now, he will be replaced by Rosenstein as Acting AG. I have long pointed out that should Sessions resign, a decision that requires courage and integrity which Sessions does not naturally possess, the President would be faced with dealing with Rosenstein who has been directly criticized on several occasions by the President. Rosenstein is an offspring of the DC bureaucracy and knows well how to survive its ethos. It would not be easy to find a pretext to fire Rosenstein other than ‘for cause’. The President is not a destroyer of people. Rather, the President would be aided if it were possible to elevate Assistant AG Rachel Brand to Acting AG. Brand, a known solid conservative, would need confirmation and therein lies the rub. There are a thousand good possibilities for AG but they all require confirmation which will not happen now with high probability. And McConnell in the Senate has taken away the President’s option to make recess appointments.
I will not blame the President for the inadequacies of the Department of Justice leadership. Some say he controls it; no he does not. He has a Board of Directors of sorts in the Congress that watches his every move and has overseen the installation of a troublemaker in Mueller to find any pretext to sink the President. The known path out of this minefield is to replace known adversaries within this Board of Directors in the upcoming midterm elections. The 2018 midterms will be a referendum on the President. I think the President wins it.
So that means he is doing nothing when it comes to Comey, Obama, Hillary, Rice, Mueller...and on and on and on.
I'm sure he is busy with immigration, law enforcement, drugs, etc.
He will do nothing about the “deep state” corruption, too many friends on that side.
