Anyone listening to Sessions' confirmation hearing?

And, Sessions has been associated with cases prosecuting KKK. He also pushed the death penalty and saw that it was carried out. He also helped campaign against George Wallace. I don't understand why they are doing this.

And he's thrown white collar, including financial, criminals in jail. BHO and E. Holder could learn from his example.

Err. Are you aware, PP, that president and prosecutor are two entirely different jobs?

Really? Why was his DOJ awol on the biggest white collar fraud in history?

What are you referring to?

naughties mortgage fraud crisis, which is by appearances, a truly staggering act of crime, I can't think of any financial crime that has come close.

yes, BHO was a Pres, and Holder a prosecutor, but AFAIK, the only guy they prosecuted was a banker with a seemingly Muslim name: Serageldin. And the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission named, inter alia, Robert Robin as someone who should be prosecuted. And Bharara may have said that Holder and co. decided to not prosecute, which if even a little true, is a very damning thing for both Holder and BHO.

I get that it is easy for many to find Sessions distasteful, but viciousness and virtuousness are never wholly any one politico's preserve

I love it! Criticize lawyers and get the most pedantic defense ever: check out our list of wet-noodle lashings of FIRMS complete with fines that are small fraction of the $$$$ amount in question. Of course all of the individuals involved, many of who got frightfully rich off the crime, walk around freely

Sessions actually put financial execs in jail, maybe it's the only good thing he's done in his life, but I do give him credit for that

You sound like someone who knows nothing about the various laws passed by GOP legislators which make it nearly impossible to criminally prosecute individuals for these kind of crimes.

Pray tell which laws are you referring to here?

And I know a lot of ex-prosecutors, especially those well versed in financial crimes, are with me on this one.

Sorry to highjack, but if BHO and Co. put these guys in jail, this thread would likely not exist.

Hey, Lee is back to anti-trust laws.

[Anonymous]

Lee asks if he would make anti-trust cartels laws permanent. He will not commit.

Nobody does!! He just rambles for a few minutes and then tacks a question mark on the end of it all.

Durbin wants to know will he recuse himself from ANY investigation that was promised against enemies of the Trump campaign.

[Anonymous]

Feinstein points out that Durbin deprived of second round of questioning.

Durbin going back to recusal from Trump prosecution/special prosecutor.

Leahy referred to Trump tape...asked point-blank if grabbing genitals against will is sexual assault. Sessions answers "yes". Should president engaging in that action be prosecuted? Yes.

[Anonymous]

Durbin says he hopes after this campaign we can come back to some standards that have guided us since WWII


Not likely, Durbin

OP -- no can't stand to watch the trainwreck we're in for and I usually watch CNN or MSNBC most of the day and have it on as "background" usually at work. Just can't stand it anymore

Sessions is correct. And a good prosecutor would proceed only if their witness has credible proof. Her word is not credible proof.
