(CNSNews.com) - In a four-page letter addressed to three Republican committee chairmen -- Chuck Grassley, Bob Goodlatte, and Trey Gowdy -- Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he takes their concerns about alleged FISA abuse "seriously," but he will not be the one to decide if a special counsel is warranted.  Sessions could have granted the Republicans' request to appoint a special counsel or rejected it, but instead he took a middle path, leaving the decision to someone elsse.

 

Sessions said he has asked a senior federal prosecutor -- U.S. Attorney John W. Huber of Utah, originally an Obama appointee -- to decide whether the Republicans’ concerns about the FBI's conduct merit the appointment of a special counsel.........To Read More...

 

What Circumstances Does AG Sessions Consider 'Extraordinary' Enough to Name a Special Counsel?

 

By Susan Jones | March 30, 2018        

 

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday told Republicans in Congress that the appointment of a special counsel "is reserved for use in only the most 'extraordinary circumstances,'” and therefore, Sessions won't appoint one to investigate the conduct of senior FBI officials regarding FISA warrants, political bias, lies, and other matters.  Instead, Sessions -- in a letter to Republican committee chairmen on Thursday -- said he has asked John Huber, a U.S. attorney in Utah, to make recommendations on what more may need to be done and "whether any matters merit the appointment of a Special Counsel."  Two members of the House Freedom Caucus, Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on Thursday they disagree with Sessions' decision:

“When the attorney general writes Congress and says, only under ‘extraordinary circumstances’ do we appoint a second special counsel, well, how about these facts, Laura?” Jordan asked.........To Read More......

My Take - I've not really entered this arena of discussion because you never really know what's going on in the background regarding investigations, as investigations have to remain secret.  But we're in over a year in the life of this administration and it appears to me Jeff Sessions is in far over his head, his abilities, and his courage. 

 

He's failed to make decisions that are his job, and this recusal clabber just doesn't play in my opinion. He's failed to drain the Justice Department swamp of Obama's acolytes as far as I can tell, and it appears he's failed to take the lead in anything that resembles going after the Washington elite who've clearly been involved in criminal behavior, including Lynch, Hillary, IRS, intelligence operatives, and a substantial number of Obama appointees. 

 

The key to understanding whether this guy needs to go or not is when RINO's like "Sen. Lindsey GrahamLindsey Olin GrahamThe Hill's 12:30 ReportSessions declines to appoint second special counselSenate panel requests info on Trump aides for Russia probeMORE (R-S.C.) says there will be “hell to pay” if Sessions is fired" , and "Sen. Charles GrassleyCharles (Chuck) Ernest GrassleyConservatives fume after Sessions declines to appoint new special counselSessions declines to appoint second special counselSenate panel requests info on Trump aides for Russia probeMORE (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, warned he won’t hold hearings to confirm a successor to Sessions", and lunatics like Sen. Jeff FlakeJeffrey (Jeff) Lane FlakeHillary foe turns heads with Trump talkArpaio says he will resume challenging Obama's birth certificate if electedBernie Sanders to Trump: Firing Mueller 'an impeachable offense'MORE (R-Ariz.), who is a member of the Judiciary Committee, says the Republicans "will hold pro-forma sessions every few days to block Trump from making recess appointments," that is more of an indicator how he's got to be fired than anything he's done or not done. 

If these swamp creatures are for anything or anyone -  a rational person should be in opposition.  If they don't want him fired - he needs to be fired!   

Two more things.  These politicians are an excellent example of why there needs to be term limits, and they are a reason why the Republican Party is called the Stupid Party.  .

 

This whole thing is beyond weird.
