Mollie Hemingway: NY Times Hit Piece on Jeff Sessions Does Just the Opposite

Ever since his recusal from the Trump-Russia collusion investigation almost from the very first day of the Trump administration, the debate has raged about who and what Jeff Sessionszzzzz is. Whether you think of him as a Deep State saboteur from the get go, merely a naive bumpkin lawyer in way over his head or some sort of deep cover master spy playing an 11-dimensional chess game with the full knowledge and consent of the President that will result in Obama, Clinton, Brennan and Comey doing life sentences in Leavenworth, he is actually doing a number on the far left Deep State bureaucrats at the DoJ.

Mollie Hemingway over at The Federalist takes a look at the most recent hit job on Sooper Secret Sleeper AG Snoozy McSnoozerson and finds that in attempting to slime him, they reveal he's been rather effective at putting a halt to a lot of the meshugas at DoJ:

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions is causing low morale and infighting among "rank-and-file employees" by doing his job of implementing Trump administration policies at the Justice Department, the New York Times’ Katie Benner claims, based on anonymous hearsay, in a recent article. Intending to paint him negatively, the Times accidentally paints a picture of a diligent and effective agency head who is achieving results over the objections of a large, entrenched, and politically extreme bureaucracy attempting to thwart constitutional accountability.

During his 20 months in office, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has swept in perhaps the most dramatic political shift in memory at the Justice Department, from the civil rights-centered agenda of the Obama era to one that favors his hard-line conservative views on immigration, civil rights and social issues," Benner opines.

Benner’s article is a great example of how so-called mainstream media come at the issue of governance from an entirely liberal political perspective. The liberal political views of bureaucrats are portrayed as neutral and beyond reproach. Political accountability of the bureaucracy, if at the hands of Republicans or conservatives, is considered suspect. The article is also a great example of journalism’s crisis of credibility.

There's also his leadership in the reversal of the insane transexual Title IX madness. In fairness, along with his continued tough stance on immigration, his institutional changes over at Justice, such as a one-time political appointee can implement, have not been insignificant. As to the recusal and the past 2 years of Muh Mewler Kolluzhins!, that's another story for another time.
