Attorney General Jeff Sessions attempted to douse the fire he came under earlier this week for echoing “lock her up” chants at a high school conservative student leadership summit during a press conference in Boston Thursday.
When pressed about cheerily joining in on the anti-Hillary Clinton chants that were a staple during then-presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign, Sessions sheepishly admitted that he couldn’t help but go along with the “enthusiastic” high school students who “spontaneously” broke into the chant.
“I perhaps should’ve taken a moment to advise them on the fact that people – the things I mentioned today – are presumed innocent until cases are made,” Sessions said. “So it was a great event to be with those kids and that would be my answer.”

Everything that comes out of this guy’s mouth is “sheepish”. He doesn’t seem capable of speaking without that insincere grin on his face. His southern mama must have taught him to always be “nice” or as they say there “Naahhss” even when ordering death sentences.
That this man (and, in Sessions’ case, that term is a compliment he doesn’t deserve) is the representative of the US system of justice and rule of law is nauseating. Watching him be dethroned by the Mueller investigation would be so deserved and satisfying.

That’s okay Jeff, I assumed “she” referred to somebody the DOJ has actually charged with a crime, such as that Russian gal who offered favors and money to gun nutz for election rigging.
Were you thinking of someone else?
Should Hillary actually be indicted Sessions has put her attorneys in an excellent position to move the charges be dropped due to manifest conflict of interest and prejudgment of guilt on the part of the DOJ.
