During his appearance before the House Judiciary Committee this week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions went back and forth with lawmakers regarding troubling omissions he made during previous testimony.
When asked to confirm a Washington Post report that Sessions was exploring the possibility of a Special Counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One deal – Sessions pushed back – making it all but clear no such investigation will take place.
In a heated exchange with Rep. Jim Jordon (R-OH), Sessions told the Congressman that it would take “a factual basis that meets the standard of a special counsel” for the Justice Department to make such an appointment, adding:
“We will use the proper standards and that’s the only thing I can tell you, Mr. Jordan,” Sessions said. “You can have your idea but sometimes we have to study what the facts are and to evaluate whether it meets the standards it requires.”
Jordon pushed back, telling Sessions “That’s what it looks like and I’m asking you, in addition to all the things we know about James Comey in 2016, doesn’t that warrant naming a second special counsel?”
To which Sessions deflected, noting that Comey is no longer the director of the FBI. When Jordan persisted, telling Sessions “He’s not here today, Attorney General Sessions, and you are,” Sessions further shot down the notion of a Special Counsel:
“I would say ‘looks like’ is not enough basis to appoint a special counsel,” he said sharply. He added that it would be “wrong” to use the powers of the DOJ for political purposes.
“The Department of Justice can never be used to retaliate politically against opponents. That would be wrong.”
Let’s get this straight, Jefe:
Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel was appointed after James Comey said he wrote a memo, which nobody has seen, alleging that Trump asked him to go easy on former Nat. Security Advisor Mike Flynn. The memo is allegedly in the hands of the FBI.
Meanwhile, there is clear and documented evidence that the Clinton Foundation was used as a pay-f0r-play mechanism which allowed foreign powers to buy influence in the United States.
The circumstances surrounding the Uranium One deal – starting with the $145 million “gifted” to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary’s State Department and the Obama administration approved the transaction – are far more egregious facts than the nebulous hearsay Comey memo.
How about the documented 143%increase in arms sales approved by Hillary’s State Dept. to countries which contributed to the Clinton Foundation?
How about the FBI issuing records retention requests to all federal agencies involved in approving the Uranium One deal – weeks after they cracked into Hillary’s email investigation?
No – that’s not enough for ol’ Jeff Sessions, despite the fact that Mueller’s similar investigation was launched on the basis of an alleged “memo” which nobody has laid eyes on, and Comey read to his friend, a reporter, over the phone.
In conclusion; things are the same as they ever were and Jeff Sessions is a cuck…
UNLESS THIS IS 45D INTERDIMENSIONAL ASS PLAY AND THERE’S REALLY A HUGE INVESTIGATION HABBENING GUYZ
