Sessions Rebukes Trump With Vow Justice Department Won't Be Swayed By Politics

"While I am attorney general, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations," Sessions said.

"I demand the highest standards, and where they are not met, I take action. However, no nation has a more talented, more dedicated group of law enforcement investigators and prosecutors than the United States."

Trump's latest complaints about Sessions — from whom he has kept an icy distance for months out of frustration about the Russia inquiry — are that the president only gave the job to the former Alabama senator because of personal loyalty in the 2016 presidential campaign.

And Sessions has never asserted himself at the Justice Department, as Trump told Fox News in an interview broadcast on Thursday.

"The Dems are very strong in the Justice Department," he said. "I put in an attorney general that never took control of the Justice Department, Jeff Sessions. Never took control of the Justice Department. And it's — it's sort of an incredible thing."

Trump has said how much he regrets appointing Sessions because the attorney general recused himself from the Russia investigation. The president was asked about speculation that Sessions may be fired after the election.

"Well, I'll tell you what, as I've said, I wanted to stay uninvolved," Trump said in the Fox interview. "But when everybody sees what's going on in the Justice Department — I always put 'Justice' now with quotes — it's a very, very sad day."

It is interesting that the DOJ and the Mueller investigation are already deeply immersed in politics.

If he wasn't swayed by politics there would be an investigation into Hillary and we wouldn't have a drug policy that looks like it came out of reefer madness. Sessions needs to go. Wonder what blackmail material they have on Sessions. Rumor has it that it involves a white pointed hood.
