WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions will announce he’s running for his old Senate seat in Alabama.
Sessions is expected to make the announcement on Thursday. His decision to run was confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday by two Republicans with direct knowledge of his plans. They were not authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Sessions long held the seat he will now pursue but stepped down to serve as President Donald Trump’s first attorney general. He was ousted after enduring public mocking from Trump for recusing himself from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
LOL.......
Who raped the “Children”. I looked it over very carefully but my post didn’t say anything about rape.
Sessions is just a little backstabbing terd, not a rapist.
No, the appointment was a mistake.
Roy Moore lost to Doug Jones.
That makes him a proven loser.(Political)
Plus he did not know how to fight back
when the allegations went public.
AGREED. He is a solid Conservative Senator. This pickup of an R Senate seat is critical.
None of them will beat Sessions in the Primary.
No, Sessions will not seek revenge because he knows Alabamans love the President. He’s not a vindictive man, he has a very strong Christian faith.
When Sessions came into being AG, he had a slew of US Senators that thought him a traitor for supporting such an outsider as Trump. He had supported Trump and he paid a price for that support. He should not have been AG but he did appoint Durham, and he did get after the Clinton Foundation with Huber. He also got after the child traffickers whose crimes are unthinkable. What he did not do is involve himself in the Russian Collusion hoax.
When Trump heard that Sessions had recused himself, he was furious but was told to give it time, that it would turn out all right. So a timeline shows that Trump had the sentiment to “trust Sessions”, then as circumstances got worse such as threats by the prosecuting gangsters against the Trump children, Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Trump blew a gasket and his trust of Sessions evaporated.
Trump held on to Sessions because the Senate was hostile to Trump, namely certain GOP Senators. Jeff Sessions remained and tempered his colleagues in the Senate.
After the 2018 elections, as soon as the Senate was secured 53-47 in favor of Republicans, within minutes, Trump fired Sessions. But in firing him he gave him a warm sendoff and went along with the narrative that Jeff had stepped down.
We forget how many GOP Senators hated Trump but most of the really bad ones are gone. Trump knew if he did not secure the Senate,, his presidency was lost. To say this president gave 250% to winning the Senate for GOP friendlies would be an understatement.
Many since have come around to Donald Trump and see him as a leader that will go down in American history as highly significant in policy, trade, banking, economics, immigration, with a character that was positive, focused, measured, practical, beneficent.
Mark Levin was once a rabid Never-Trumper and now he supports Donald with all he’s got. Why do Freepers support Mark now when he was such a butthole in 2016 and coming into 2017? Jeff Sessions worked a lot harder in support of Trump than Levin during that time. And I was glad to see Mark turn around and see the light. Similarly, I think we will see Jeff without a second thought support POTUS if he wins the Senate seat.
So many have come around to Trump but Jeff Sessions was one of the very first but he got caught in the crossfire between Senate Never-Trumpers and the President. And those in the Senate were his longtime friends. He should have resigned but Trump needed him to calm and temper the Senate where Jeff had so many friends.
All in all it wasn’t the best combination of persons and events but I give full credit to Donald Trump for holding everything together and emerging victorious through it all. When we think of the enormity of what needed to be done and what needed to happen, it boggles the mind that Donald Trump rose to the occasion.
Jeff Sessions was not an enemy, he just didn’t have the capacity to rise up and really support the President as needed. He did do some good, but mostly he was as POTUS called him, “Mr. Magoo”.
Pop goes the weasel.
There are about five freepers that I think are trolls, and they will love him.
Will be happy to see him run and hopefully win.Isn’t a better choice in my opinion.A true Patriot.He did what was expected of him in the past and it will come out in time.This man is not finished yet.Good Luck and God willing, Jeff Sessions will be in our Senate.
John Holmes.
Reeeeee!!
He will. No one better is running. Tommy Tuberville Yeah. No! I don’t know how normal people get name recognition and can be serious candidates. Seems impossible.
Agreed. Wish I knew all the inside dirt.
Your an ass. If he runs he will win. Doug will go down.

This country is in a dark place if conservative voters still think Jeff Sessions is anything but a co-conspirator to this ongoing Deep State coup. His recusal allowed DAG Rotten Rod a free hand to orchestrate the coup against POTUS. Everything spirals from Session’s single betrayal of his oath of office as AG. MAGA hamstrung, FBI abuses covered up for 3 years, House lost, etc., etc.
The progressive corportists who control the GOP simply has no reason to reform and never will if the base continues to vote for coup enablers like Jeff Sessions. It’s that simple.
Just say NO!
Whatever keeps Roy Moore from getting nominated.

JUST DAMN. We actually agree on something.
Jeff Sessions and his recusal enabled Mueller and his police state tactics. I’m shocked to see good conservatives even contemplating voting for him again. The GOPe will think they own the base if we put Sleepy Sessions back in the Senate. T
he GOP Senate will obstruct POTUS even aggressively in his second term knowing with certainty that conservative votes are guaranteed and we are little more than slaves on the GOP plantation. Guaranteed.
