Jeff Sessions is The Best AG We Have Had in The Last 6 Years

If you told me 6 years ago Sessions would be the last great Attorney General, I never would have believed you

A close friend and current member of at least two state bar associations referred to Jeff Sessions as a “Hillbilly” before Trump was elected. That friend also voted for Trump and recently said “leftists abhor the Constitution” as they, “refuse to put pedos in jail as sentencing guidelines require” so I wouldn’t consider him “left-leaning”.

And no, I don’t know what his pedo comment was all about as I assumed Trump supporters were in favor of pedos as long as they defend you during impeachment trials. But what do I know?

Back to the AG of it all.

Bill Barr abused the office and ran interference as the president broke a series of laws ranging from tax evasion, criminal obstruction, election inference, election tampering, abuse of presidential power (in so many ways in bordered on art) to using the AG’s office as Presidential Council.

Barr also conducted pointless investigations into political rivals while ignoring divestiture mandates by just about every appointee named during the term of 45.

Not to mention his overt and active misrepresentation of the Mueller report and Mr. Mueller’s findings.

That’s off the top of my head.

Then you have Merrick Garland. I’ll give him an “Incomplete Grade” if I’m being kind, as he could be moments away from raining down hell on Trump and the rest of his “Too Stupid to Make Money with a Casino” crew, but I doubt it.

When sworn in (March 21, 2021) Garland promised to bring “Everyone responsible for the Jan 6th, 2021 insurrection to justice.” And they have arrested over 800 people as Garland pointed out on NPR recently.

I guess they used a great deal of social media and actual media footage to employ swift action to bring those responsible to justice.

The entire official DOJ charges & results for every arrest up-to-date.

One of the charges that I saw when reading the official DOJ scorecard was, 18, U.S. CODE 1505.

From Cornell Legal Information Institute

18 U.S. Code § 1505 — Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees

Whoever, with intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance, in whole or in part, with any civil investigative demand duly and properly made under the Antitrust Civil Process Act, willfully withholds, misrepresents, removes from any place, conceals, covers up, destroys, mutilates, alters, or by other means falsifies any documentary material, answers to written interrogatories, or oral testimony, which is the subject of such demand; or attempts to do so or solicits another to do so; or

Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress —

Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

Hold on a second, while it’s debatable if I can actually write in English, I can read to a certain extent and it clearly says,

“Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence,”

Then this.

“House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress — “

And this

“Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years”

That means when 45 used “We” with the audience he then pledged to “lead” to “take back” his presidency, he was taking agency with the supporters. Over 800 of them have been arrested for actions they took following Trump’s attempt to incite an insurrection.

The reason I bring this up is I just counted (stopped at a 100) how many people have been charged with the above crime and it feels like a cornerstone of the DOJ’s focus.

How exactly did they miss that guy who made the above-referenced statements that started the whole thing? Statements he made LIVE ON MULTIPLE CABLE NEWS OUTLETS?

Whether the man should be convicted is up to a jury, everyone deserves their day in court, but many of the arrests have been arrested with less video support of their crimes.

Thus, I have to assume Merrick Garland is a moron and is doing a piss-poor job.

Say what you want about the “Hillbilly”, but when it was his job to recuse himself, he did his job.
