A rather disturbing revelation from former congressman Jason Chaffetz during an interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro. About half-way through the interview Judge Pirro asks Chaffetz about ongoing examples of DC corruption.
Mr. Chaffetz shares a personal conversation he had with Attorney General Jeff Sessions where the attorney general informed Chaffetz there would be no investigation or prosecution of any prior DC corrupt and illegal behavior from Obama-era administration officials. According to Chaffetz none of the unlawful activities of former DC officials will be investigated, prosecuted or pursued.
While it’s not necessarily surprising to hear, if true, this is still a very disappointing development. Washington DC operating above the law only worsens problems. Destabilizing the country with disparate rules for the professional political class increases anxiety and makes cohesion impossible.
Blog Author's Comments: Attorney General Jeff Sessions has not been the AG that I thought he would be. He has seemed useless and timid since he was first given the reins of the Justice Department. I think Sessions has had ample time to get his department in order, doing what he was expected to do. The American people assumed some hard-nosed honest people to take control and help get society back on track, from what we saw happening with the last president and his corrupt administration.
At one time I believed the AG, in many instances, took his marching orders from the president. In this administration Trump gives people their jobs thinking they will do the right thing. But President Trump and I also think that Sessions should not have recused himself from the 'Trump colluded with Russia, Election 2016, Comey and Special Counsel Mueller, entire bogus scam' that is still ongoing. Considering the numerous admonishments by Trump in public, only Sessions can shed some light on what Chaffetz said concerning him and his non-action.
If Sessions is part of the swamp, as it appears, why did he bother to endorse Trump, counsel him, travel and campaign with him? And was there another senator who helped Trump as enthusiastically? Sessions actions or rather inactions are speaking for themselves. The President legally has the last word on all of this. It will be interesting to see if and when he's willing to weather the political fallout by firing Sessions. The Attorney General is one of the most important positions in government and I don't believe Jeff Sessions has accomplished much thus far.
