Despite considering Attorney General Jeff Sessions "a longtime friend," former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark., said "it breaks my heart to agree that Sessions should go" because he lacks the "stomach" to "get accountability for those who have made a mockery of justice in this country."
"I was on with Judge Jeanine that night and had to say it breaks my heart to agree that Sessions should go," Huckabee wrote on his website Tuesday. "As I told her, he's a longtime friend of mine and I really like him. But this whole situation is out of control, and we've got to get to the bottom of the corruption, conspiracy, collusion, and cover-up that's been going on in the Justice Department.
"I don't know why, but Sessions just doesn't appear to have the 'stomach' to appoint people from the field offices, away from Washington, or perhaps a special counsel, who can do what it takes to get accountability for those who have made a mockery of justice in this country."
Huckabee, the father of White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, added Sessions should be "storming up and down the halls of the DOJ and FBI, kicking in doors and turning over desks."
"The people who ostensibly worked under him have apparently been involved in a coup against a duly elected president, and it doesn't get more serious than that," Huckabee continued. "But at this point, Sessions really should just lay in a supply of cardboard boxes to pack up the stuff in his office. It would be best for the country if he turned in his resignation, admitting he can't be effective in the job.
"If he needs help with moving, I know a guy."
