Sessions Says He’s Open to Independent Investigation of Obama-era Abuses at DOJ

Attorney General Jeff Sessions told conservative radio personality Hugh Hewitt that he is open to hiring outside counsel to investigate internal practices at the Obama-era Department of Justice.

Hewitt asked Sessions if he would bring in an independent investigator to probe the Justice Department’s handling of controversies related to alleged bias at the IRS against conservative political groups seeking tax-exempt status, and the gun-running “Fast and Furious” scandal, in which federal law enforcement allowed gun dealers to sell firearms to illegal straw buyers. Those weapons were subsequently recovered at crime scenes in the United States and Mexico.

“Well I’m going to do everything I possibly can to restore the independence and professionalism of the Department of Justice,” Sessions said. “So we’ll have to consider whether or not some outside counsel is needed. Generally, a good review of that internally is the first step before any such decision is made.”

   Sessions is a decent, moral man, but he is also a politician and I just don't believe the 'will' is there, in spite of the necessity, to open THAT Pandora's box.

By now we ALL know how the political game is played. If it seems like the public is behind this and really applying pressure,they will appoint someone who will investigate it until just before the next election,and then declare "Dyes nuffin here to see folks,move on!"

And the person they will pick will be a retired lawyer or political appointee that is to the left of Michael Moore.

The sad,sad truth seems to be they all have enough dirt on each other that none of them can really allow any serious investigation to take place on any political corruption by the big boys.
