Jeff Sessions

I believe it is time to bring it to a conclusion.

I think Florida has every right, in fact a duty, to try to maintain clear rolls that have integrity to them.

They will be held accountable if they violate their oath to protect the legitimate secrets of the United States.

I do believe that we have voter fraud in America.

I believe an aggressive investigation is required.

I do not believe it was the right decision.

In fact, the Board of County Commissioners of Nye County, Nevada--the county where the Yucca repository would be sited--wrote the Blue Ribbon Commission in February 2011 to say that 'strong local community support for Yucca Mountain exists…

The law of the land--the Nuclear Waste Policy Act--established Yucca Mountain in 1987 as the designated site for the nation's geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel.

I think you should look at it really hard. You should review from top to bottom the staff you have got there.

I understand that often prosecutors--and it is always I have been told that, but even in recent years--ignore or reject the opinion of the experienced attorneys oftentimes.

Are you confident that the Chief of Public Integrity...is sufficiently committed to having the kind of experienced prosecutors necessary to handle a case of this magnitude?

Let me tell you what I am worried about. I am worried that we have these big cases--we have had them in my State.

I do not think it is performing well in terms of getting your best people in the courtroom trying some of the most important cases.

I think the prosecutor should be fired on the spot.

I think not, too. It is just dangerous to have a big case like that go that fast and have lawyers being changed in the process.

I think the Department has been embarrassed by the results of a lot of big cases.

So there is a lot less experience out there by the FBI and by the prosecutors.

Otherwise, when you indicate you are not going to look for people who have overstayed, then you basically are saying we do not intend to take any effort to enforce really an entry-exit system in the United States.

I would just say that in my view it should have been the biometric all along.

I think reports from the Government Accountability Office, GAO, validate that, and I hope that we can make some progress on it.

Every dollar the taxpayers send us, they need and have a right to expect is wisely spent.

I find, Cook County's policy at least, is unacceptable.

I do not believe it is that difficult to implement an exit program.

Your meteoric rise to the chairmanship exceeds even Senator Franken's.

I insisted that the only system that really works based on your experience as a Federal and State prosecutor, as I have had that same experience, it is the fingerprints that are in every police officer's file.
