GP -- Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) grilled Attorney General Jeff Sessions today on the many apparent crimes connecting the Clinton Campaign, the Democrat Party, the FBI, James Comey and the Russian Dossier.
Jordan grilled the Attorney General who was noticeably uncomfortable and irritated with the questioning.
Rep. Jordan laid out the specific crimes of collusion committed by FBI and DNC operatives in 2016. Jordan pointed out the fake dossier and asked AG Sessions if this was the impetus to spy on the Trump campaign? Sessions would not answer.
At the end of the questioning Rep. Jordan asked Sessions if he would appoint a special counsel to investigate this deviant activity by the FBI and DNC.
Sessions told him he would not appoint a special counsel.
Rep. Jim Jordan: "Doesn’t that warrant in addition to all the things we know about James Comey in 2016, doesn’t that warrant naming a second special counsel?"
AG Jeff Sessions: "I would say what it looks like is not enough basis to appoint a special counsel."
Blog Author's Comments: It seemed to me today that AG Sessions did not take this hearing with the seriousness it deserved, he does not strike me as a professional person who is worthy of his current position. I realize there were some questions which he would not be able to answer in an open hearing. I have been against the hiring of Sessions as Attorney General from the time he was appointed by Trump. I also think he should be relieved of his office as soon as the President could find a replacement. But, as I mentioned yesterday, if President Trump fires Mueller and Sessions, Senator Grassley has said he will not confirm a new Attorney General. Senator Grassley is now the current chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the 115th congress.
I would assume knowing what I know of the President, he wants to keep things moving and see some action from his cabinet. He should have a meeting with both AG Sessions and Senator Grassley. If he is not pleased with Session's performance which some lawmakers in his party are not. Congress needs to produce a vote of no confidence to the AG and ask him to remove himself from office. It is not good that Sessions continues to let Trump, many members of his party and the country down by remaining impotent in the pressing issues facing him. What does not help is that there are so many Congressional leaders who are anti-Trump. For reasons I will not waste my time now by delving into, many members of his own party want to see him fail, while the entire Republican Party fails. What so many do not seem to understand is that Trump is not going to be seen as a failure by the voters that put him in office.
The huge mistake Sessions made was to recuse himself from anything involving the Russia probe because of the Democrat Party and leftist media attack dogs. After Trump fired Comey, who did not deserve to be the Director of the FBI, he was another dirty cop. Sessions deputy AG Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller, a very good friend and former co-worker of Comey. I do not want Jeff Sessions as the Attorney General; he cannot handle the duties of the position. Now is the time for President Trump to make some serious decisions, to clear all of this up because it has already gotten way out of hand.
