President Trump slammed Attorney General Jeff Sessions for pushing the FISA abuse case off on to the Inspector General. When a case goes to the IG’s office, it can literally take years to resolve.
The FISA abuse is very serious because it could mean the Obama administration illegally unmasked and spied on the Trump campaign.
Trump stated it “will take forever” in the hands of the IG. He’s correct.
Everything with the Russia-Trump fishing probe is urgent and in the hands of a Special Counsel, but potential spying by one administration on another is relegated to an endless information gathering process by the IG. The IG has no power to act once the information is put together.
The President called Sessions’move “disgraceful”. He was roundly bashed for making his comments by the media and other establishment types. Despite their view, the President has a point.
Sending it to the Inspector General is like sending it to the morgue. He has no prosecutorial powers.
To be fair, Sessions knows things we don’t know.
SESSIONS RESPONDS
President Trump might have hoped Sessions would resign after the public humiliation. But, Judging from Sessions’ response, he has no intention of leaving.
