It has never been Session’s job to protect an ethically challenged President and his sleazy friends from themselves.
Sessions is the ethically challenged one in this equation. He’s been lavish in his praise of pro-Hillary Rosenstein.
Joe diGenova on Hannity: “Comey is dirty, Rosentein is compromised. Jeff Sessions has a duty to fire Rosenstein NOW... It’s HIS job, not Trump’s”
Your smug anti-Trumpism is duly noted.
[Note that Sessions praised RR for being a Deep Stater in good standing.]
‘Sessions Goes Off-Script to Praise Rosenstein Before Memo Release
Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday went off-script during a speech to praise Rod Rosenstein shortly before the release of a GOP-authored memo reportedly targeting the deputy attorney general. During his remarks at a Department of Justice event on sex-trafficking issues, Sessions thanked Rosenstein and Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand, saying, “Those two—Rod and Rachel—are Harvard graduates, they’re experienced lawyers. Rod had 27 years in the department. Rachel’s had a number of years in the department previously and so they both represent the kind of quality and leadership that we want in the department.” President Trump has reportedly viewed the memo—even before ever reading it—as a way to build a public argument against Rosenstein’s handling of the Russia probe.
