Report: Attorney General Jeff Sessions Recuses Himself From Uranium One Investigation….
Posted on November 3, 2017   by sundance

If this stunning report is true it confirms many opinions in how AG Jeff Sessions is entirely incapable of carrying out the duty of a U.S. Attorney General.   The report comes from Breitbart Media conveying information received from congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

According to the information from representative Gaetz, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced to members of the House Judiciary Committee he was recusing himself from anything to do with the 2016 election, Russia, or any participant or ancillary member attached to the 2016 election, including Hillary Clinton, which also includes any prior activity from any person or interest -regardless of time of occurrence- that intersects with any person, entity or individual in the sphere of the 2016 election.

Time for Sessions to go...

[Cyber Liberty]

Sad-Sack Bergdahl walks, and Hillary's off the hook for the Crime of the Century.  Not a bad day's work, for a Friday.

[RoosGirl]

Just like he said he would.

   Has anyone considered the fact that Sessions believes in the rule of LAW and being an early Engineer on the Trump Train, is not gonna stick his neck out there to get chopped off. He never came across to me as stupid (other than that early Trump endorsement).  If Trump shakes up his DOJ a year into his first term it's gonna cost a lot as to what he gets done in his second year, terrible optics everywhere. 
   If only twitter would update his character limit we could avoid a bloodbath.

Time for Sessions to go...

Indeed!  I've been saying that for quite awhile now...as well as Rosenstein and Mueller.

Come on, IF Sessions truly believed in the rule of law, he would have never appointed a Deputy AG who had worked for both Clinton and Bammy and certainly should have squelched the appointment of Mueller who also has Clinton/Bammy ties.  Certainly he knew darn well of the Uranium One scandal before he appointed them and he certainly knew full well of Rosenstein's involvement as well as Muellers....but here we sit, with Sessions allowing investigations of his boss but not Clinton.  Seriously? Sessions is trying to save his own neck right now, and if Trump were smart he'd relieve him of his duties ASAP.  Trump needs to shake up his DOJ before the mid terms and get a team who is going to serve this country and help him drain the swamp instead of hanging on to all the swamp creatures that are already in the DOJ including Sessions himself.  IF Trump were to appoint a new AG that was worth a darn and started making some headway in getting Hillary indicted, you would see voter turn out during the mid terms larger than anytime in history and there would be absolutely no doubt that the GOP would retain their majority.  Trump needs to realize that if the GOP loses the majority in the House, impeachment proceedings against him are almost certain and at that point, even if the GOP manages to hold on to the Senate, they sure as heck aren't going to save him.

It might have been nice to appoint an Attorney General that wasn't from the highest levels of the swamp bringing in the conflicts of interest that go with that...

[Cyber Liberty]

Yeah, it bugs me that with all this swamp-draining talk the best that could be come up with were Sessions and Mueller.

[bilo]

Time for Sessions to go...

No kidding!

He is a "yuge" disappointment. He keeps playing into the Rat strategy to destroy the Pub admn. He recused himself from the Russia investigation which led to a career Rat appointing a career Rat special prosecutror who then hired a staff dominated with career Rats. Now the real issue that needs to be investigated and would force Muellar and several of his Rat prosecutors to have to recuse themselves is going to be decided by a career DOJ Rat.

We win elections and we still lose.

What Pres. Trump should have taught all the Pubs by now is if you want to win to hell with the optics fight and keep on fighting. Sessions is too much of a gentleman. He should care less about public opinion and should start kicking some rear ends. If he can't do that step aside and get someone who will.

IMHO, Sessions should have advised Trump that he wouldn't touch anything to do with Russia from the start, before the nomination for the post. This is like taking a slaughtering job at a poultry plant, and then informing your boss after you are hired that you are deathly allergic to feathers.

If he can't effectively perform the duties of his office, it is time to step down and let someone in who can and will do the job.

Sheesh! Who hired this loser?

I won't tell, but when he did I shook my head and commented that it was a HUGE mistake.

My first thought was that Trump had crossed boundaries so many times now with Sessions that his only option is to recuse himself. Furthermore tomorrow Trump may change his mind about Hillary again and leave Sessions blowing in the wind.

Good post.  I don't see how Sessions can justify recusing himself from everything and just throwing his hands up.  If he doesn't have the courage to do his job or doesn't think he should for some obscure reason, then appoint someone who can and will.

DOJ Sources: Sessions Has Not Recused Himself from Potential Uranium One Probe

Sessions could recommend internal DOJ investigation into Uranium One deal or appoint outside special counsel

Department of Justice (DOJ) sources disputed reports late Friday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from decisions involving potential investigations into alleged corruption surrounding a deal that gave Russia control of a large portion of U.S. uranium-mining capacity.

DOJ officials told the Free Beacon that Sessions has not recused himself from deciding how the Justice Department should respond to recent reports raising questions about the Obama administration’s approval of a 2010 purchase of Uranium One, which controlled 20 percent of U.S. uranium, by Russian energy company Rosatam.

Sessions, in his role as attorney general, could recommend an internal DOJ investigation into the matter or appoint an outside special counsel to handle it.

He should resign............apparently he is unable to actually perform the duties of his office, which makes him a thief for taking pay he is not earning.

Sessions could recommend an internal DOJ investigation??? Gee ... how has the worked out so far? NOT!

[libertybele]

Hannity reporting Sessions has NOT recused himself....on the Uranium One issue

Whether he has recused himself or not at this point is irrelevant...his appointment of Rosenstein speaks volumes and his comments that in essence Rosenstein can investigate himself says it all.  Sessions IS part of the swamp.  Fire him!

That article does more to muddy the waters than clear them.  He told Congressmen in September he's recused and refused to discuss the Uranium deal (abruptly ended the meeting in so doing), and a month later he told Grassley the DoJ is going to "do something" with it, possibly appoint another special Prosecutor, which would also be a recusal, maybe.

Sessions is trying to split a baby here.

[DB]

Refusing to discuss the uranium-one deal maybe good news. It may mean that it is actively being investigated and doesn't want to provide any warning of it. Maybe...

Thinking about it, perhaps it is already known that it is being investigated by insiders and that's why Donna Brazile and others to follow are trying to distance themselves and perhaps the DNC from what's coming.

Who knows...
