ALL members of the Federal Executive and Legislative Branch take an oath.

5 U.S. Code § 3331 - Oath of office

An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: ?I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.? This section does not affect other oaths required by law.

This is why the Attorney General was sworn in.

Jeff Sessions is not an employee. He is an appointed government official. The President does not "hire" the Attorney General, but instead nominates him, and then it has to be voted on by the Senate.

The Job of the Attorney General is to run the Justice Department. He is responsible for the "enforcement of the law and administration of justice". The Job of the Attorney General is not to protect or represent the President. The Attorney General does not give legal advice in personal matters of the President.
Great post!

Facts don't matter to Robbie.

Ideological dogma matters to Robbie.

Actions don't matter to Robbie, as long as he is told what he likes to hear.
