He needs to keep his mouth shut and start the indictments!

Fifth amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Neither Jeff Sessions as AG, nor the president, can indict anyone. Only a grand jury can indict someone at the federal level, unless that individual waives their fifth amendment right to an indictment (ex. Gen. Flynn for lying to Mulehead's crony, Strzok).

I think too many people on this forum overlook this fact.

That's why it's easy to pound on the table and demand that Sessions indict someone.

Sure, you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, but can you get a grand jury to indict a congressman, a senator, a career FBI director, or even the Hilldebeast herself?

Not without one hell of a bulletproof case. And if they are building a bulletproof case to indict, how would you or I know about it?

That's the crux of the matter. We don't know. They don't know, either. And they're freaking out because they want to believe, just as many here do, that Jeff Sessions is sitting on the sidelines napping. Maybe he is. Maybe he isn't. Either way, there's no way for us to know unless the hammer drops on them.
