"I took control of the Department of Justice the day I was sworn in, which is why we have had unprecedented success at effectuating the President's agenda -- one that protects the safety and security and rights of the American people, reduces violent crime, enforces our immigration laws, promotes economic growth, and advances religious liberty," Sessions said in a statement.

"While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. 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."

"I am proud to serve with them and proud of the work we have done in successfully advancing the rule of law," he added.

This story is breaking and will be updated.

All I can do is root for red cards and minor injuries.

[Corvo Bianco]

I don't follow soccer but I'm sure Man City and Chelsea are just the worst.

[Javaman]

[Rainbow Droid]

7. People lose sight of the fact that Sessions was disgraced and on his way off the national stage

when Trump happened.

[hlthe2b]

8. one of the worst things about this Trump admin is having to root for detestable creeps--

merely because of the need to defeat Trump on some of his most horrific intent.

I detest this little stump-dweller with a passion that is nearly all-consuming, but, damn, I'm glad to see him try to "rise" up.

[mobeau69]

I wonder if he will tell the orange idiot "hey, maybe we should reduce the sentences for people convicted of illegally paying off porn stars to win an election? Whaddya think?"

[Trust Buster]

18. Have to give Sessions credit for this public rebuke of Donald the Conald.

[PatSeg]

19. Trump is breaking a record

of how fast he can turn "friends" into enemies. At this rate, everyone in the world will be his enemy by the end of the year, but he so loves superlatives, so he can count that as an accomplishment.

[Tiggeroshii]

20. Kudos where it's due

Hopefully anybody in that position will be just as willing to stand up for the institution and defend their civil servants as sessions has in that statement.

[mobeau69]

21. Sessions: You can't fire me and I won't quit.

[Bayard]

23. Dump has no friends....

he has hangers on, opportunists who are on the con too, criminals who are looking to score with him, etc. No one likes this fool, and for good reason; there is absolutely nothing to like. He is heinous.
