Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed during an interview Thursday that he was possibly open to appointing someone outside the Trump administration to review the actions taken by former President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice.

He made the astonishing admission when questioned by former Reagan administration official and radio show host Hugh Hewitt about the previous administration’s litany of scandals.

“I’m a proud veteran of the Department of Justice, as you are, but the IRS case, the Fast and Furious case, Secretary (Hillary) Clinton’s server … the Department of Justice came under great criticism,” the host said.
“How about an outside counsel, not connected to politics, to review the DOJ’s actions in those matters with authority to bring charges if underlying crimes are uncovered in the course of the investigation, and just generally to look at how the Department of Justice operated in the highly-politicized Holder Lynch years?” he then asked, referencing former Attorney Generals Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch.

“Well, I’m going to do everything I possibly can to restore the independence and professionalism of the Department of Justice, so we would have to consider whether or not some outside special counsel is needed,” Sessions replied.

While the attorney general was clearly noncommittal about the prospect of essentially investigating his predecessors, he just as clearly left the door open to doing so if needed.
Sessions added that the IRS’ proven targeting of conservative organizations, in particular, remained of “real concern.”

According to RedState, it was only earlier this week that the IRS suddenly announced that it had located “6,924 new documents … regarding targeting of tea party organizations under now-disgraced former IRS head Lois Lerner.”

What concerned individuals like Attorney General Sessions and Hugh Hewitt was the suspicion that Obama’s Justice Department had never satisfactorily investigated and prosecuted the officials behind this targeting.

Regardless, it would be nice if someone were to finally get to the bottom of the Obama administration’s many scandals and, once and for all, expose both Barack Hussein Obama and his top acolytes for the corrupt bureaucrats they really were.

Holder and Lynch, sounds like some kind of disreputable law firm. Put them, Buckwheat, Valerie, Bill and Hillary, etal under oath and drag them over the coals. Biden probably wouldn't be worth the effort......just too damn dumb.

looks like the house cleaning has begone...

Less than a week after President Trump made his allegation that President Obama wiretapped him, he has fired all 46 remaining US attorneys that were appointed by Obama.

Sarah Isgur Flores, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said in an email that all remaining holdover United States attorneys had been asked to resign, leaving their deputy United States attorneys, who are career officials, in place in an acting capacity.

“As was the case in prior transitions, many of the United States Attorneys nominated by the previous administration already have left the Department of Justice,” she said in the email. “The Attorney General has now asked the remaining 46 presidentially appointed U.S. Attorneys to tender their resignations to ensure a uniform transition.”

The New York Times is blaming Sean Hannity for the DOJ purge. On NYT twitter there is a tweet that says "Trump orders came less than 24 hours after Sean Hannity says Purge Obama appointees from Justice Department."

And the NYT followers are following them right down the rat hole believing every word the rag has to say. It is unbelievable just how gullible the liberals are. I'm guessing if the New York Times told them the sun was not going to rise in the morning they would all believe it especially if they told them Trump was responsible. They are all NUTZ, nothing Trump does will ever be right. I'm just glad Trump realizes the media is not going to give him a fair shake and he just goes around them. The more the far left media tries to hurt Trump's presidency I hope the more the independents and right leaning Democrats realize they can not support it and they move to the right behind the President. Maybe if the Dems take another beating at the ballot box in 2018 they will realize they need to reevaluate the direction they are taking their party.

Sessions is a Conservative through and through. He will have a huge impact on reversing the liberal footprints made in the last 8 years.

Yes and that is exactly why the Dems are not going to stop feeding their minions in the media crap about how he lied and should step down. If you listen to what Franken asked Sessions answered the question AS ASKED but the Dems are never going to stop until there is blood in the streets.

I was just on Roy Blunt's twitter and the loons are out in full. One made several tweets calling for Blunt to force Sessions to resign as he lied so I asked her where she was when Holder lied to Congress and was held in contempt. I also asked her where she was when Lynch met with Bill on the Tarmac and three days later failed to indict his corrupt wife. I had to laugh when she posted back She was in Labor. By her tweets I'm taking it she thought the whole email scandal happened on the day she gave birth so she had no time to push for those corrupt politicans be held accountable. Sick demented people out there and Trump's admin are bringing them all out to delay their Trump Derangement Disorder. Watch your backs if you go to a city where they dwell.

Labor from holder being held in contempt lasting until the Tarmac planning scheme? No wonder commies are down with baby extermination.
