Jeff Sessions actually said...

"agencies oftentimes see themselves as independent fiefdoms."

"Any short-term political agenda gains that come from the abuse of the lawmaking processes and requirements of the Department of Justice just do not make sense."

"The Solicitor General... has a duty, the Department of Justice does, to defend the laws passed by this body, by Congress."

"Well, it can fail to enforce it by setting prosecutorial policies with regard to declining to prosecute whole chunks of cases and, in effect, eliminate a statute."
