The biggest bummer about Sessions is that I’m pretty sure he already planned on and decided to recuse himself before he was even nominated.
Sessions knew he would be nominated. He was first in line for pick of the cabinets and he picked DOJ. Prior to the election or perhaps it was between the election and Jan 20, 2017 he stated (paraphrased from memory) “We are not to re-investigate Hillary or investigate the previous administration”.
The fact that we are now in the territory were the other administration and the loser of the election have to be investigated in order to get the truth out, has gotten everybodies pantys in a bunch because we know wrongdoing was done but they don’t want to act upon it because then it becomes a precedent.
Has such a situation happened in our past? I don’t know. But the left likes to walk boundaries with incursions in weak areas accidental or otherwise. This is Bill & Hillary Clinton’s modus operandi. Think “No controlling legal authority” means run amok of the constitution is okay.
I didn’t expect Sessions to investigate anything. My expectations were very low from the start.
What baffles me is that he is actively trying to obstruct the work of the Nunes committee. It’s as if the DOJ was still operating under Loretta Lynch. Sessions kept all the Obama people in place.
And Trump can’t do anything about it because any interference will be used by Mueller to build an obstruction case.
Jeff is their insurance policy...
