Jeff Sessions actually said...

"agencies oftentimes see themselves as independent fiefdoms."

"I do not believe that the statute can be disregarded, and it should be followed."

"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."
