Rachel Maddow reports on the latest in the criminal case against Republican congressman Duncan Hunter and notes Donald Trump's unabashed call for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to prosecute Trump's political enemies and leave his allies alone.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was questioned for several hours last week by the special counsel’s office as part of the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the election and whether the president obstructed justice since taking office, according to a Justice Department spokeswoman. The meeting marked the first time that investigators for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, are known to have interviewed a member of Mr. Trump’s cabinet. The spokeswoman, Sarah Isgur Flores, confirmed that the interview occurred in response to questions from The New York Times. Mr. Sessions announced in March that he had recused himself from all matters related to the 2016 election, including the Russia inquiry. The disclosure came after it was revealed that Mr. Sessions had not told Congress that he met twice with the Russian ambassador to the United States at the time, Sergey I. Kislyak, during the campaign. Mr. Sessions was an early supporter of Mr. Trump’s presidential run. When Mr. Trump learned in March that Mr. Sessions was considering whether to recuse himself, the president had the White House’s top lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, lobby Mr. Sessions to remain in charge of the Russia investigation. Mr. Sessions instead followed the guidance of career prosecutors at the Justice Department, who advised him that he should not be involved with the investigation. When Mr. Trump was told of this, the president erupted in anger, saying he needed an attorney general to protect him.
The New York Times, “Sessions Is Interviewed In Mueller’s Russia Investigation.”
Huge news. Yuuuuuuge.
“Now and again we vary the route; there's nothing against it, as long as we stay within the barriers. A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.” - Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale.
The attorney general has praised the hallmark policies of the 1980s and 1990s, including mandatory minimum sentences.
“Attorney General Jeff Sessions has brought Steven H. Cook, a former street cop who became a federal prosecutor based in Knoxville, Tenn, into his inner circle at the Justice Department, appointing him to be one of his top lieutenants to help undo the criminal justice policies of Obama and former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr.
Law enforcement officials say that Sessions and Cook are preparing a plan to prosecute more drug and gun cases and pursue mandatory minimum sentences. The two men are eager to bring back the national crime strategy of the 1980s and ’90s from the peak of the drug war, an approach that had fallen out of favor in recent years as minority communities grappled with the effects of mass incarceration.”
Gets asked about the “Russia-Issue”, talks about drugs😥
Confession
Every time I see the name Jeff Sessions I think they are talking about an offshoot of Ted Talks.
