Responses to The WSJ editorial about “Sessions Abuse”

I got many e-mails this morning disputing  criticism of Donald Trump regarding Attorney General Session. Here are two with which I tend to agree. Trump’s style may offend but he is not wrong. rsk

1.Wrong, WSJ Editorial Board.  Sessions was wrong to recuse himself from a specious Russia collusion charge and allowed swamp rat Rosenstein to set up a get Trump posse by appointing a special prosecutor Mueller without an identification of a crime or crimes to be investigated and without parameters on the investigation — contrary to law. Mueller hires a partisan Democrat staff, proceeds to expand his investigation and allows leaks.  So you have an open ended investigation that calls for the observation of Harvard Law Professor Dershowitz, quoting Stalin’s secret police chief Beria: “Show me the man and I will find the crime.”   On top of that, Sessions has not pursued investigations of Hillary and the Democrats that are begging for investigation.  These are travesties about which President Trump has every right to be disappointed in Sessions. Rosenstein and Mueller  should be fired and investigations of Democrat malfeasance are needed.  If Sessions needs to be fired, so be it. I  might add that President Trump is the head of the Executive Branch and is empowered to make  comments that Senator Graham and the WSJ find inappropriate.  It is politics, not dispassionate proprietorial discretion, that is protecting Hillary and the Democrats.     from Phil Byler

Attorney General Sessions absolutely should not have recused himself from the phony Russia collusion investigation. In his Senatorial office he met with some Russian officials who probably visited a dozen other Senators. Nothing was exchanged and Sessions forgot about it. As a result he has been unable to participate and criticize Comey and Mueller for leaking FBI information and for wasting taxpayer money in widening the scope of an investigations that is without evidence or merit. Furthermore, Hillary Clinton’s sale of uranium to Russia certainly deserves scrutiny as well as the pay to play schemes of the Clinton Foundation while she was Secretary of State. Sessions has willfully ignored this scandal while the administration and the President he ostensibly serves are continually distracted and beleaguered by spurious allegations, leaks and targeted headlines.  from Tessa Klein
