“Would Trump be calling him out if Sessions was actually kicking butt and taking names?”
No, and how bad did it have to get behind the scenes for Trump to actually come out in public and make those statements about Jeff?
It’s obvious to me that Sessions is defiant and refusing to step down. Imo, he’s been in on this special counsel coup from the get-go.
I’ve wondered the same thing but given Sessions’ really strong conservative positions, I’ve rejected the notion that he is part of the coup.
That said, he could be comprised via threats to his family, etc.
Most likely is Sessions is simply too nice and maybe a bit too old to put up his dukes and fight. However, I dont think anyone will press charges against Clinton.
I'm not willing to go that far, but I will say that through his inaction, Sessions has tacitly aided and abetted the enemies of our President.
