Jeff Sessions recently told the White House that if the President fired Rod Rosenstein, Sessions might have to leave as well.
Jeff Sessions
The Public Record
Jeff Sessions is an American politician and lawyer who served as the 84th Attorney General of the United States from 2017 to 2018. A member of the Republican Party, he was previously a U.S. Senator from Alabama from 2007 to 2017. During his tenure in the Senate, Sessions was known for his strong stance on immigration and law enforcement issues, advocating for stricter immigration policies and supporting various measures to combat drug trafficking and crime. He also served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama from 2001 to 2002.
I know--look, let's be frank, what they would like is a statement that they have been provided safety, a safe harbor, I don't believe I can give that.
We have an opportunity to really make a breakthrough, in my opinion, in focusing on that opportunity.
Don't come illegally; apply lawfully to enter America and wait your time. That is what America is all about.
I want them to be excited about the day ahead, not fearful for their safety.
We are determined to make a difference. We believe that we have the capacity under existing law to do better than we are doing.
We are having tremendous success forming task forces around the country to focus on these gangs, on drug distribution networks.
We are going to tighten up dramatically the amount of prescription opioids out there that often create the addiction.
You need to get between me and the president. You cannot leave me alone with the president.
I just know and I think when I said the BOP has the same staff today as in 2009...
We are trying to do that based on facts, not politics, but where the crisis is greatest.
The goal of it would be to help our local grant recipients create task forces and partnerships to be more effective in their neighborhood.
I don't see any need for people to be concerned about it. Frankly, I think it is a perfectly normal thing to ask.
Of course, fundamentally, the Department of Justice and our DEA, and FBI, and ATF investigators and marshal officers, they do focus on where the problem is biggest and where the gangs are the business.
We have altered our COPS grants to encourage the use of COPS grant money for school resource officers.
And then we are going to focus heavily on fentanyl, because it is such a killer, it is a killer.
We know that a large amount of drugs is leaving from Colombia and south of Colombia and it is brought by boat.
Revolving doors are not acceptable. I am hearing too much of that where people are being released too quickly.
They are the most violent gang in America, I think by far, and it is incompatible with peace and safety and justice.
So there is no perfect solution, but that is the best answer I think I can give you.
This is dangerous business. You get addicted, it grabs you with a power that so many people are never able to break free, their lives are lost.
