Criminal Complaint Filed Against Attorney General Jeff Sessions For Obstruction Of Justice

By Jason Easley on Mon, Mar 27th, 2017 at 2:14 pm


A criminal complaint has been filed against Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions accusing him of perjury and obstruction of justice.

The criminal complaint which was filed with the Inspector General’s Office and the Office of Professional Responsibility states, “The criminal conduct described in this complaint relates to testimony and false statements about communications between Sessions and the Russian ambassador that were made by Sessions to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It also concerns Sessions’ acts of concealing his crimes, covering up his crimes, impeding the investigation his crimes, interfering with the prosecution of his crimes, conspiring to commit crimes and otherwise interfering with or impeding the proper administration of the Department of Justice.”

The complainants are 23 residents of Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, California, and Vermont. The complainants are demanding a Special Counsel to investigate Sessions and the Russia scandal, numerous federal investigations, and an indictment of Sessions for violations of federal law.

The attorney for the complainants, attorney J. Whitfield Larrabee, said in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA, “Attorney General Sessions is putting his own personal interest above the interest of the people of the United States by failing to resign. Because there are grounds not only to investigate but also to charge Sessions with several crimes, the integrity of the Department of Justice will be destroyed so long as Sessions remains in office. Prosecutors at the Department of Justice cannot properly investigate this matter while Sessions remains in office because of a natural reluctance to aggressively probe and .....................

1. HA! THIS makes me happy!

[33taw]

2. I think this is misleading.

Citizens filing a criminal complaint vs. prosecution by a federal prosecutor are very different.

[Roy Rolling]

4. Reporting a Crime

I think this is tantamount to reporting a crime to the police. The police will investigate and a DA will determine if they plaintiff can be charged with a crime and arrested and sent to trial. No?

17. I'm a lawyer. I had the same reaction. Misleading title.

23. They don't have standing, do they?

[Alice11111]

26. Yes, much is missing. Standing may be a problem too

Anyway, geez, someone is trying. Maybe a legal group will jump in and help thrm

[BlueStateBlue]

3. Sessions needs to resign!

He lied to Congress. He is not fit to be the top law enforcement official in this country.
Why was Trump so furious when Sessions recused himself from all things Russia? Because he was the ace up their sleeves. Sessions need to be gone.

[meow2u3]

10. This whole "adminstration" needs to resign

Starting with tRump and going all the way on down to the advisors.

[Alice11111]

27. Yes. Pipe dream, unless we force him legally.

[R B Garr]

5. No Mulligans!

He should be removed since he obviously lied until he got caught.

[Honeycombe8]

6. Wow! They can DO that? I thought the DOJ had to do that. Just WOW!

Hey, maybe our country IS set up to thwart the efforts of puppets to infiltrate and take over our country!

Morning Joe pointed out how things are working with an out of control totalitarian: He signed an EO for a travel ban, that the Courts quickly stopped; He tried to get a bad healthcare bill pushed through the House with no explanation of it to representatives or the people, and Congress shut it down; He tried to get another country to pay for a wall, and the country just flat refused to pay; he may have tried to collude with a foreign enemy during the campaign, and our intelligence agencies are investigating it and seem to be doing a good, impartial job of that; he tried naming two or more people on the payroll of foreign countries into his cabinet/administration, and our intelligence agencies discovered the foreign agency roles.

Now we have citizens who are suing to have Sessions held accountable for lying under oath to Congress, when the DOJ doesn't do it?

Maybe the founding fathers set things up at least adequately to handle an infiltrator totalitarian, after all. We don't have the end of the story yet, to see how our system holds up. But so far, it's looking hopeful we can withstand this for a while.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Yes!

Absolutely delightful. I'm very tired of seeing laws broken and ignored because
there is no political power to enforce them. Citizens must act where they can.
Brave Americans, we thank you!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Good. Need multiple attacks to crack the case(s) open. . . . nt

[zentrum]

9. Best News!!!

[notdarkyet]

11. Good. Sessions is a corrupt, that liar and we need to get rid of him. The AG

Lied under oath. Clinton was impeached for that. He makes a signing statement amending his testimony and that makes it all fine. I don't think so.

[red dog 1]

13. Kick for exposure!

I hope this complaint isn't thrown out by some ultra-right-wing Trump-loving judge.

[NoMoreRepugs]

14. Great news, every opportunity and method that

can be utilized to call attention and raise awareness amongst the goobers n gomers who support these douche bags must be taken.

[Achilleaze]

15. Can any American sign on as an amicus?

Sign me up. Because this freaking republican Caviar Comrade J. Sessions needs to be outed soon, so America can defend itself against Russia's Acts of War* against the USA.

* per Dickie Cheney, formerly the leading republican Draft Dodger (until republican Comrade Casino came along to lower the bar even further.)

[onenote]

16. Before anyone gets too excited, the lawyer filing this complaint does this all the time

and has never actually accomplished anything as far as I can tell.

18. Not yet...anyway n/t

[onenote]

19. True. But his track record suggests no one takes him seriously.

Which is why folks ought not get too excited about this complaint.

[jaysunb]

20. Think, Larry Clayman :) n/t

[onenote]

22. Yep. The difference is that Klayman, while an unethical jerk, actually filed real lawsuits

which forced his targets to respond. Larrabee files goofy complaints that his targets can and do safely ignore.

[progressoid]

25. Yeah, this is going nowhere.

Oh, happy day! (Oh happy day) Oh happy day! (Oh happy day)
Oh, happy day! (Oh happy day) Oh happy day! (Oh happy day)
Oh, happy day! (Oh happy day) Oh happy day! (Oh happy day)

He had it coming!

Oh, happy day! (Oh happy day) Oh happy day! (Oh happy day)

28. URGENT! CALLING LAWYERS DC, ALABAMA! Hold celebration

This can be done! IMPORTANT!

One way to approach it is to file a Disciplinary Complaint with his licensing board in DC (where he is acting as a lawyer), and Alabama, or anywhere else he may be licensed.) That is the Bar of DC and the State Bar of Alabama. You do not have to be a lawyer to do this, but a lawyer familiar with the rules and cases of the jurisdiction can make a much stronger complaint.
I don't find other places where he is licensed.

(Bill Clinton was disbarred in Arkansas after the Lewinsky debacle.)
However, a disbarred lawyer CANNOT be Attorney General of the US!

Still, anyone trying whatever, is probably to be commended, but we don't want to pile up a lot of frivolous cases and loses.
