By Matt Zapotosky Matt Zapotosky National security reporter covering the Justice Department Email Bio Follow March 21 at 3:47 PM Jeff Sessions — who as the 84th Attorney General of the United States endured relentless attacks from President Trump — returned to the Justice Department Thursday to claim the brown leather chair he once sat in at the commander in chief’s side.
In December, for example, referring to Mueller’s investigation, Trump wrote, “Jeff Sessions should be ashamed of himself for allowing this total HOAX to get started in the first place!” Two months later, he derisively referred to his former top law enforcement official as “another beauty,” and this month, he tweeted that Sessions “didn’t have a clue!”
Addressing Sessions directly, Barr said he was “a direct beneficiary of your stewardship,” in part because “you and the president assembled an exceptional leadership team here.”Sessions was not universally beloved inside the Justice Department, but the president’s constant attempts to humiliate the attorney general engendered significant sympathy for him there. A little more than a week after he left — as with previous attorneys general — Assistant Attorney General for Administration Lee J.
When Barr was nominated as attorney general, they knew they had their moment. Sessions had been a U.S. attorney when Barr was attorney general in the 1990s, and the two liked and respected each other, Hanrahan said.The Justice Department allowed media to attend the event but barred journalists from taking photographs. A Justice Department photographer did so instead.
What's with this end of probe narrative?
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hooray for the hard working men & women of the DOJ, class act all around. As for Jeff Sessions, in hindsight I wonder how he feels about his early and strong endorsement of Trump.
Trump if you don't close, you remove, all the rubbish of sanctions. TAX 5% OK .TAX 25% No and an international commercial scam. Illegal penalty, Trump not to the right Stop impoverishing countries. Trump you will be killed by ISAIA 42: 1-9. This March = Apocalypse 11: 5-6. Sela
Not Of those Snakes are Worth a second. Hunger across USA and the world should be more important than the well FEED REPUBLICANS
Who , exactly says the Muellar probe is coming to a close soon. ? Muellar hasn’t said anything. As the president himself often says “ we’ll see. “. And we will see.
Trump if you do not close all the sanctions sanctions sanction sanction to impoverish the countries. Trump you will be killed by ISAIA 42: 1-9. This month of March = Revelation 11: 5-6. Sela
As Trump mocks his accent.
Chrisstto12 That’s no problem he can easily fit in most cabinets. Even that little one next to the stove.
As Russia collusion fades, Ukrainian plot to help Clinton emerges Ukraine’s top prosecutor stated he has opened an investigation into whether his country’s law enforcement leaked financial records about Manafort to sway the election in favor of Hillary
One of the most racist humans on the planet, yet “others lauded the work Sessions had done.” So many want to lift men like Rosenstein up as heroes yet he and lots of others are complicit in allowing a man like Sessions to wreak havoc on brown and black people.
Oh I see what you did there. —— Chair. Ambiguous.
Mueller still has a sitting grand jury. More than likely the news of it ending soon is more gaslighting by the groper's legal team
87% of all Americans just asked: '....?'
nope
