The case against the Obama administration lackeys is well defined, already! There should have already been prosecutions, by now. And yet our do-nothing Attorney General continues to sit on his hands, and not prosecute these bums! President Trump wants action, and it's clear Sessions doesn't have the stomach to do what needs to be done! So why is he still in office??? Fire the S.O.B., now, and appoint someone who has the guts to do what obviously needs to be done!
It seems apparent that Obama spent eight years trying to appoint people to top positions in the F.B.I., and the Justice Department who were not only loyal to his administration, but were absolutely willing to risk law-breaking to keep a Republican, and Trump in particular, from winning the election, and to resist him even after he won. Both of these bureaucracies need to have someone do some legal "House-Cleaning", and fire the incompetent ones, and throw the law breakers in jail!
I guess Sessions is more concerned about his legacy after he leaves office, not wanting to be remembered as the Attorney General who fired several members directly under him, so soon after taking office. But, history is smart enough to recognize the difference between getting rid of the former administration's appointees, and cleaning house of a bunch of cronies that misuse their authority, for political reasons, both actively, and by refusing to act when it is called for!
The bulk of the people at these two bureaus are the same people who have served honorably, at their jobs for years, laying aside their personal political views, and merely investigating , and prosecuting violations of Constitutional, and Federal laws. But, Obama has obviously tried to "pack" these bureaus with people who would rather break the law, than serve this President! It's like Franklin D. Roosevelt, when he threatened to "pack" the Supreme Court with extra Justices, who were sympathetic to his views, to negate the opposition of the sitting justices. The difference is that Roosevelt never went through with his threat. Obama is evil enough to go through with his plans to subvert the authority of the elected President, even after his term is over.
How long are we going to put up with these unconstitutional shenanigans, and get around to throwing these rascals out! And the ones who deserve jail time should get what they deserve!!!
But we need an Attorney General with the guts to get this thing started!!!
UPDATE: (2/13/2018)--
A brief reflexion on the above post... I tried to reason why Attorney General Sessions might rationalize that it was proper for him to stall any prosecutions of the Obama "Deep Staters" that are encumbering the top (mostly political appointments) of both the F.B.I., and the D.O.J. The only thing I can surmise would be that he was trying to protect his own job, should the Democrats regain control of the Congress, in the election next November, which would tend to suggest that they might well win back the Presidency, in 2020.
Attorney Generals have been kept on by succeeding Administrations, if the newly-elected incumbent feels they have done a good job before their election. The idea of firing the opposing party's appointees would not bode well for job security, should the opposition regain the presidency. That is the traditional view of the federal bureaucracy, but this case is different.
F.B.I. agents, and D.O.J. attorneys, and prosecutors, are supposed to be able to lay aside their political views, and determine the validity of legitimate prosecution, based upon their expertise in both Constitutional, and Federal law. Either the intentional prosecution of obviously innocent people, or (in this case) the refusal to prosecute apparently guilty parties would constitute intentional obstruction of justice, which is at least grounds for firing. And, in this case we have people trying to defeat the intentions of President Trump, even after he was elected!
Sessions can't have it both ways; either prosecute the law breakers, and fire the ones who used their offices to try and keep Trump from being elected, or get out of the way, and let someone else who will take over!!!
