You can't answer a simple question.
Again.
before today, have you suggested that sessions should be fired/forced to resign before today since this is just so obviously and clear?
Mueller isn’t clearing Trump TSA. Not at all
Trump still "not a target."Mueller isn’t clearing Trump TSA. Not at all
Comey also said he wasn’t under investigation. How did that turn out?Trump still "not a target."
Btw. Trump not cleared. And won’t be.
Turned out bad for Comey.Comey also said he wasn’t under investigation. How did that turn out?
Mueller nothingburger report will be mostly top secret
You did
He called Sessions a cracker!
You can’t answer a simple question because you realize the stance you previously took is re ed.
Stupid question. It became clear as soon as the Dems won the house. Before that there was no reason to suggest or support it.
Yeah nobody saw it coming. Stealth Jeff never instructed you that if the dems win, Jeff should probably get fired or resign
Asked and answered. You're pissed because you can't argue against your conspiracy theory.
Firing Jeff good now because you were told firing Jeff good now.
lol
There's no mention in that regulation for past or present (or future), you're making that up. It's whether this person is part of a current, open investigation/prosecution. The investigation is ongoing, so he is. His recusal is mandatory because he's at the top of the chain. Him being his own supervisor means there's an inherent conflict of interest. Sessions understood this, which is why he recused himself under the same rule.
So what happens if he doesn't recuse? Maybe nothing. Maybe Congress subpoena him and refers him for criminal investigation. The question here is whether this guy is willing to throw his career away for Trump. Maybe he is, we'll see.
being seen kissing Trump's ass on TV or in the op-eds can be a very good career move
Yeah, let the old man see you on cable TV and you're in.
(Hard Core Racist) Jeff Sessions’s Legacy Will Be Catastrophic for Asylum Seekers
By exploiting his power over the immigration courts,
the former attorney general made it his goal
to inflict long-lasting damage on the asylum system.
The starkest manifestation of their joint vision revealed itself in the administration’s
treatment of immigrants in general, and Central American asylum seekers in particular;
the family-separation initiative, a horrific, ongoing display of state-sponsored trauma, will be a stain on America’s reputation for generations.
But while Trump boisterously proposed outlandish, even illegal immigration policies,
Sessions took a quieter approach, exploiting his authority through legal minutiae. In the process, he inflicted long-lasting damage on the asylum system.
It has long been the case that the attorney general has overwhelming authority over the interpretation and enforcement of immigration law in the United States.
Jeff Sessions had final say over who was targeted for immigration-related criminal proceedings—hence his infamous “zero tolerance” policy mandating the prosecution of all unauthorized migrants caught crossing the border, the cornerstone of family separation. His successor will be equally empowered.
Sessions also had the power to, at will, snatch cases from the immigration appeals courts and unilaterally impose his own rulings on them, setting crucial precedents for other cases.
It is through this authority that Sessions surrep iously dismantled the asylum system.
Like an ultraconservative Supreme Court of one,
he cherry-picked a handful of pending asylum cases that he could use to issue disastrous legal guidance.
Sessions exercised his judicial power several times—
overturning, among other things, immigration judges’ power to close cases and dismiss deportation proceedings,
which strained the courts and put in jeopardy the ability of hundreds of thousands of immigrants to live in the United States.
His docket took a particularly destructive turn last March, when he referred to himself a case, dubbed Matter of A-B-, involving a woman who sought asylum after enduring more than a decade of beatings, death threats, rape, and stalking by her ex-husband in El Salvador.
Retired immigration judges,
the American Immigration Lawyers Association,
several civil society organizations, and even
lawyers within Trump’s Department of Homeland Security filed briefs informing
Sessions that, indeed, decades of case law have affirmed domestic violence victims’ eligibility for asylum.
But
Sessions wasn’t interested in settled case law.
In June, he issued a final decision in Matter of A-B-: “Generally,” he wrote,
“claims by aliens pertaining to domestic violence or gang violence…will not qualify for asylum.”
Sessions delegitimized the two most common reasons Central American migrants seek legal asylum,
thus prompting the nation’s approximately 350 immigration judges—as well as the hundreds of asylum officers who screen asylum seekers for “credible fear”—
to err on the side of ordering some of the world’s most vulnerable refugees back to the dangers from which they fled.

Racism, inhumane xenophobia iare explicitly what Repugs, the party of state racism, wanted JeBo to implement as American policy, when they picked him as AG.

Not only is there a massive conflict of interest, this guy has already made up his mind about the investigation.
Massive bias and conflict of interest. Imagine that from a Trumpie.
He also lied. The consensus (Even from Trump's officials) is that they did indeed meddled. Not even a question about it.
This guy is delusional.
yeah the bias is another story altogether... especially from the same crowd who wanted strzok tarred and feathered
you think trump asked him about loyalty?
Vote in november, folks!
