This is great.....a Clinton Appointee steps up for Sessions as AG. Making Donna Brazile look like the fool she was born to be. Brazile shows why she is useless to the Demo party.
Defends His Records on Civil Rights.....
The campaign to rally support for Donald Trump (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/donald-trump.htm)’s pick to head the Justice Department (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/justice-department.htm) is growing, with former FBI (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/louis-j.-freeh.htm) Director Louis Freeh, who served under President Bill Clinton (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/bill-clinton.htm), now joining the effort.
In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Freeh offered his “strong recommendation” that Senators confirm their colleague Jeff Sessions (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/jeff-sessions.htm), R-Ala., as the next attorney general, defending his record on civil rights (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/issues/civil-rights.htm), which has become a key concern for critics.
“I have known Jeff since 1989 when we worked together as prosecutors on one of the most important civil rights cases investigated and prosecuted by the United States Department of Justice,” Freeh wrote. “[I] have always been greatly impressed with his commitment to the rule of law, his fair and balanced prosecutorial judgment, and his personal dedication to protecting civil rights.”
Democratic Party (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/democratic-party.htm) leaders, meanwhile, have called Sessions’ nomination “deeply troubling.”
“Over the course of his career, Senator Sessions used the power of the courts to discriminate against civil rights leaders, allegedly used racially charged language to disparage minorities, expressed support for the KKK and then tried to dismiss it as a joke, celebrated the gutting of the Voting Rights Act (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/elections/voting-rights-act.htm), opposed same-sex marriage, denied the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade, voted against greater access to healthcare for veterans, blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act, and voted against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act," Democratic National Committee (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/democratic-national-committee.htm) Interim Chair Donna Brazile (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/donna-brazile.htm) said in a statement last month.
Freeh, who served as FBI director from 1993 to June 2001, expressed no such concerns, calling Sessions a “friend” who has had a “distinguished” career in public service.
“I believe that Jeff will be an outstanding Attorney General for the Nation,” Freeh said.....snip~
