Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    It is the signature fact of the Trump Administration that 1) Jeff Sessions is his worst cabinet member, 2) Trump is desperate to fire him, 3) Trump has thus been prevented.

        "worst"? Hard to say Pruitt's been better in any way.

        Sessions is a catalyst for all the others' horribleness.

        Oh, right, I somehow forgot about Sessions' refusal to investigate or prosecute flagrant corruption.

        Ironically, firing Comey tied his tiny hands in firing the Keebler Elf.

        No disagreement on 2 or 3, but I somehow keep forgetting Ben Carson is a cabinet member...

        It's a bit of an open competition, no? Scott Pruitt is right up there neck and neck with Sessions using any metric one wishes. Damage to the country as a whole? Check. Lying rat bastid? Check. Secretary Zinke's forging new horizons in non-transparency. DeVos? OMFG!

        I’d like to see Sessions go. He’s horrible on civil rights

        any chance this recent tweet is misdirection in order to give Sessions/IG cover?

        I think he simply genuinely does not understand why it’s a bad idea for an agency to investigate itself.

        I hear he's terrible. I read up on the Marion Three. I read the New Republic oppo from 2002. I still don't get why he's awful, aside from being too conservative.

        I disagree with characterizing your opinion as fact. I also disagree with your opinion.
