The Department of Justice is looking into whether Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf obstructed justice by warning Northern California residents of an impending raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The agency’s acting director, Thomas Homan, told “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning that the DOJ is “reviewing” whether Schaaf broke any laws by telling her constituents ICE would be raiding the area in order to arrest people violating federal immigration laws.

This will have to involve Sleepy Sessions, before anything meaningful is resolved. ICE is a federal force, not the National Guard, who are strictly subjugated to their state governor.

Federal military forces can not impose themselves on the states in some military fashion, or action.

It will be interesting to follow this case and to presume the outcome will be reliant on the judge who hears it. In California, would it be a certainty that ICE could win it?

“The DOJ is a rude joke. It’s worse than useless, especially so under Sessions.”

At least when the Dim have the DOJ they know how to ACT to further their agenda.

As far as I’m concerned Sessions is criminally negligent, at least.

Sessions has been running the DOJ for one year, 19 days.

And nothing done. Mattis destroyed ISIS in nine months. Jeff you are the Manchurian Attorney General. Or you are a referral service for Michael Howorwitz.

Is there any doubt Mayor Libby Schaaf obstructed justice? Question is, how does our Justice Department go about “reviewing” that law when it is a foreign “state” - “Country” who Schaaf is citizen of.....California has left the United States.....we have no jurisdiction there...or so it seems.

“Sessions has been running the DOJ for one year, 19 days.”

He’s pretty much recused himself from everything except medical marijuana, vicodin, oxycontin etc...you know, those things that relieve peoples’ pain.

Yes!! Oakland is lawless and - not surprisingly - very dangerous as a result

“DOJ looking into possible obstruction charge against Oakland mayor who warned of ICE raid”,

If Sessions were sheriff of Broward county he’d be “looking” into possible murder charges against Cruz.

Jeff Recusie Sessions has better. He has Rosenstein. The guy can sweep under the carpet any criminal case involving a democrat faster than you can say “sweep”.

“DOJ looking into whether...” Huh?! These dipshits at the DOJ couldn’t find their butts with both hands. The Mayor should have been warned, and then ARRESTED by US Marshals.
