>> "When [Arnold Palmer] took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said 'oh my god. That's unbelievable. [laughter]"

"I had to say it. [laughter] I had to say it. We have women who are highly sophisticated here…"

…like #RosanneBarr?

Courting sophisticated women vote in this election by making big dick jokes at his campaign rally? Could've left that to his former Acting Attorney General #MattWhitaker, who replaced #JeffSessions

#JeffSessions later effectively banned federal prosecutors from using #consent decrees in #policing or other investigations, saying their “wide-ranging & long-term obligations” improperly overrode local control.

Gunston, who left the #DOJ in 2018, said she considered Sessions’s move “a complete abdication of our responsibility.”

The #Obama admin entered into 15 consent decrees w/ local #police depts.

A week before Trump took office, #Chicago & the #DOJ arrived at an agreement in principle, pledging to negotiate #reforms.

After #Trump was sworn in, however, AG #JeffSessions ended that work, calling the DOJ’s findings “pretty anecdotal & not so scientifically based,” while acknowledging he’d read only a summary of the report. Trump #Justice ofcls unsuccessfully sought to block then-Mayor #RahmEmanuel (D) from entering into a consent agreement w/the #Illinois AG.

@GetMisch Here I am with fellow members of #DCMJ* at the #USCapitol on January 10, 2017 waiting to get in to the hearing for then-#Senator #JeffSessions to protest his nomination for U.S. #AttorneyGeneral wearing our #Phyrgian hats.

The hat is also featured in the famous #ApotheosisOfWashington painting on the ceiling of the #CapitolRotunda's dome.

#MichaelCohen says he told David #Pecker, fmr publisher of #NationalEnquirer, that he had been told that the federal investigation Cohen faced would be “taken care of” by #JeffSessions, then the #UnitedStates #AttorneyGeneral. Cohen testifies that it was #Trump who told him that.

Cohen testifies he continued to deal w/ #StormyDaniels in early 2018 w/Trump’s backing & blessing. He says that the president asked him to get a temporary restraining order against Daniels.

Parker served as an asst AG under #JeffSessions [#RussianAsset], who went on to become US AG in the #Trump admin. He was an aide to [#rapist] #RoyMoore on the state Supreme Court in 2000 until Moore was dismissed in 2003 for ignoring a #federal #CourtOrder to remove a #TenCommandments monument he had installed in the #judicial bldg.
After Parker was elected to #Alabama’s high court…, he went to DC to take the oath of office. #SCOTUS Justice #ClarenceThomas, one of his role models, presided.

For those who don’t remember, from June 2020:
“The head of the #DOJ’s #civil division told staff members… that he planned to resign after nearly 2 yrs in the post…, making him the 3rd top ofcl at the dept to step down in the past week.
“The official, Joseph Hunt, who previously was chief of staff to #JeffSessions when he was the AG, did not say why he was leaving….

…#Lieu asked #Wray about #RogerStone, #ElliottBroidy, #MichaelCohen, #PaulManafort, #RickGates, & #GeorgePapadopoulos, all of whom were found #guilty of various #crimes in federal court.

Lieu pointed out that all of the advisers were prosecuted by Trump appointees: #BillBarr, #MatthewWhitaker, & #JeffSessions. Wray, who was already leading the #FBI at the time, is also a #TrumpAppointee.
