Jeff Sessions wants the Russian investigation to end “sooner rather than later”

As Democrats complain that the Attorney General violated the terms of his recusal, he calls for Russia probe to end

MICHAEL GLASSMAN

Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Fox News on Friday that while he had faith in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, he would rather the investigation end “sooner rather than later.”

Sessions was interviewed on “Fox and Friends” Friday to answer questions about the Russia probe and Mueller’s ties with former FBI director James Comey. The “Fox and Friends” hosts pushed Sessions to reveal any doubts about the investigation, but the attorney general defended Mueller’s probe. “Mr. Mueller is someone I’ve known for a long time and I’ve had confidence in him over the years. Yes. Well, I feel confident in what he will do, that’s all I can say,” he said.

Sessions’ comments about Mueller, however, are a change from how many others in Donald Trump’s orbit are framing the investigation as delegitimate before Mueller and his team release their findings.

For instance, President Trump in an interview last week also on Fox and Friends called the relationship between Comey and Mueller “bothersome,” in an attempt to discredit the special counsel. Additionally, right-wing commentator Tomi Lauren was featured on an ad paid by the Great America Alliance, a pro-Trump non-profit, which openly questioned whether Mueller can run an independent investigation because of his ties to the Clinton Foundation and Comey.

All this talk about whether or not Mueller is competent enough to run an investigation has to be making Sessions want this investigation to end, “hopefully we can see this matter move forward and come to an end, sooner rather than later,” he said on Friday. House Democrats, however, have a very different idea.

3. He's been talking to Trump?

He probably is aware of the rumor that Eric Holder commented about? For the DOJ and FBI to be strong?

Is he getting ready to get rid of a couple people at DOJ and the FBI? Maybe even the Deputy Attorney General? And the Deputy FBI Director?

He and his boss are both guilty as hell.

Lock all of them up!
