Breitbart News Senior Legal Editor Ken Klukowski joined SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam Friday on Breitbart News Daily, discussing Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Kassam—who is editor-in-chief of Breitbart London—noted the frustration that many readers of Breitbart News and listeners of the radio show have had with ongoing Justice Department investigations and controversies that appear to be tremendous scandals but are still unresolved.

“It looks to me like they are slowly, methodically, very carefully working this through” to build their investigation, Klukowski said. If legal requirements are not followed, the investigation could be discredited or its results inadmissible. “It looks to me like a very careful prosecutor who is building his case, brick by brick, until he is ready to drop the whole ton of bricks on someone’s head.”

The two Breitbart editors discussed also how Sessions is taking extraordinary steps to get the legal challenge to DACA to the Supreme Court as soon as possible in an attempt to ensure President Donald Trump’s immigration policy is put into effect, attempting to bypass the Ninth Circuit federal appeals court.

“DOJ did this in the most aggressive and most gutsy fashion possible,” Klukowski said in response to the Trump administration’s petition to take this matter directly from the trial court to the Supreme Court. “I commend Attorney General Sessions and Solicitor General Noel Francisco for this,” he added, noting that it is so rare for the Supreme Court to take a case before the federal appeals courts have rendered a judgment that it happens perhaps less than once per decade.

“This kind of action shows the incredible value of Jeff Sessions as attorney general of the United States,” Klukowski concluded, citing this as the sort of thing that Breitbart readers and listeners were hoping to see from the Trump administration.
