Why has Sessions finally grown a backbone?

Y'all revert to a 5th grade (or below) mental state speaking like a bunch of kids on a playground and y'all wonder why nobody takes you seriously.

Acting/speaking like a child is not a good look for an adult and (that applies to the President as well just so you know). I do wish he'd (the President) drop the name calling but hey, I don't have his ear so I'll just have to settle with saying it here to the "supposed" adults on this board.

I'd suggest y'all drop the stupid names, present a cogent argument on specific things if/when you ever have one and let the discussion begin...

...and can't keep himself from shifting the topic to the other poster. <yawn...>

Now, back to the topic at hand.

tRump is losing it. We all see it. We don't all acknowledge it.

Sessions is his whipping boy, but hasn't yielded in his desire to act as AG instead of tRump's personal counsel. The AG is America's lawyer, not the president's. Of course, tRump lacks the basic intellect to grasp that reality.

The kubiki theater between the two of them is very entertaining.

Carry on.

This claim is provably false. The total number is mostly accurate, but is not an unusual amount. They are using a study from 2009 (which uses data from 2006), that uses a different methodology than they are using, to compare their results to. This is misleading, and embarrassingly so when you search PACER for recent history.

They claim 1000 sealed proceedings per year is normal out of all 94 districts COMBINED. This is ONE district over only FIVE months, in 2015... it returned 1500 sealed proceedings. This search was made using their EXACT methodology in PACER.

This is proof that their '1000 per year is normal' claim is false. Additionally, there is no evidence that the numbers we are seeing are unusual.



They are EGREGIOUSLY misleading, if not just flat out lying, in how they are presenting the 'facts'.

I have spent nearly $100 researching this in PACER, and I have spoken with the 'research' team that is maintaining the document. I have more proof if needed. Feel free to ask questions.
