>>for saying that Sessions is an honorable man
I would back you up with one caveat. It was not honorable when Sessions knew he would recuse and wanted the job so badly that he didn’t tell Trump he would be recusing. That was selfish on Sessions’ part. He might have thought recusing himself was honorable, but he was absolutely morally wrong not to let Trump know in advance of taking the job, that Trump was not getting what Trump thought he was getting.
Trump practically made a cottage industry out of criticizing Sessions.
It was to make a smokescreen to prevent the perps from realizing that the DOJ was on their trails. So Sessions had to publicly appear to be Dr. Do-Little with whom Trump was displeased. I am sure and certain that Sessions' recusal was known in advance and the entire thing with Trump being upset about it was part of the charade.
If I am proven wrong, I will admit it! :-)

Thank you for your service to our Country, Mr. Jeff Sessions!
Your sacrifices will never be forgotten. Q+
Signed "Q+" - POTUS.
What sacrifices? One would be tolerating and saying nothing about Trump's apparent criticism; another would be tolerating and not defending himself from not just criticism but outright hostility and character defamation from so many people.
We don't really know that. I know that POTUS has said so but he's said a lot of things about Sessions. It's a Playhouse 90 IMHO. They didn't want the DS to know what they were up to and I believe they pulled it off.
Sessions really had no choice but to recuse. He was a part of the campaign...no matter how peripherally...and he's NOT a democrat. Therefore he did the honest and honorable thing.
Maybe he knew the Russia stuff was bogus and figured it would blow over in a week or so?
Look back on it.
How many of us besides me thought it was absolutely ludicrous and wasn’t going anywhere?
