Bush said, “It wouldn’t be prudent.”

Deep State Justice Dept must finally act?

PDJT, all you need to do is consult a few Freepers here who will set you straight. Sessions IS on top of it all, and is operating in stealth mode. Just so you know.

Well, if he did, we wouldn’t know it. The tweet might be something he goes to in order to publicly shame someone into doing the right thing, after much vain effort to persuade.

Idle hands do the devil’s work, but vice versa for God’s — the more that these agencies are busied up doing the right thing, the less they can drum trouble up for Donald.

I think she’d martyr herself for Hillary.

This is smart of Trump. Going after Hillary, while 100% justified, is politically suicidal...unless you get her top aide to flip on her.

I hope like hell you’re right, but this situation is getting well out of hand. I was initially thinking that the President was signalling his desire for justice by the DOJ, but either Sessions is too gutless or stupid to move forward with investigations.

Sessions is the best backstop I’ve seen since Yogi Berra. Not the hitting part of Berra, just the blocking thing.

It’s amazing how much Hillary looks like Chairman Mao in her neck-high uniforms...

Just sayin’...

Mr. President, I sure hope that you are not going to hold your breath waiting for Jeff Sessions to take any action on Comey or Abadin. Jeff Sessions has been a huge disappointment especially on the big things, like the couruption of the previous administration.

You’re correct. Justice answers to him. It’s easy to float what the department should do vs mandating them to do it or else. Trump likes to play that game of stirring the pot for the base while all the while knowing he really hasn’t “ordered” them to do anything or cleaned house.

Trump will toss out the red meat when the people are good and hungry. That’s my gut sense.

President Trump calls on ‘Deep State’ DOJ to go after Comey, Clinton aide Abedin!

President Trump went after “Crooked” Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin on Tuesday, appearing to call on the “Deep State” Justice Department to look at potential security issues in her handling of classified material after a recent email dump.

“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailor’s pictures on the submarine? Jail!” Trump tweeted early Tuesday. “Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others.”

Expect AG Sessions next to defend Abedin and Comey.
“There. I’ve acted.” J. Sessions, AG, Dept of Just Us

Trump is purposely running the steam engine to a dangerous over-pressure situation. He wants it to blow. He wants the overt criminal lawlessness to be so egregious that any normal, rationale person will cry "enough"!

Then he will have his political momentum sufficient to act. This is theater of the highest order; one that will be studied in history books for generations to come.

OK so it's his DOJ. He said in that New York Times interview that he can do anything he wants with the Justice Department. So why is Trump tweeting about it instead of telling it to act?
