Mark Levin: It's Time for Jeff Sessions to "Step Aside"

He's not AG for the purposes of the most consequential legal matter before the Justice Department, and the stuff he's pushing as AG -- cracking down on state pot sales, fighting against efforts to reign in the regime of civil forfeiture -- seem decidedly secondary in importance, if not flatly wrong.

Levin said on his show, "the entire department’s out of control now," after news broke of the FBI raid on the office, home, and hotel room of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

"I say it with the gravest regret, I really do, because I know what it means personally but I can't, I can't ignore what I'm seeing and what’s going on here," Levin told his audience.

Levin has known and been friends with Sessions since they both worked in the Justice Department under President Ronald Reagan. "I want to make a point here, and it will destroy a 30-year friendship, it’ll destroy it," Levin said. "But I really do think it’s time for the attorney general to step aside. It’s time for the attorney general to step aside."

Somewhat related -- lawyer George Parry says that the claim that Trump is merely a "subject" of Mueller's investigation rather than a "target" is a prosecutorial trick designed to fool the actual target of the investigation into speaking to prosecutors so they can hit him with a perjury rap.

Obviously Trump should not do that, and I think the raid on Michael Cohen's office and two residences has probably convinced him of that.
