Agree. You just cannot hand Sessions a senate seat after his betrayal.
I’m not sure what Sessions did was a betrayal.
The whole “lock her up” chant, followed by a whole list of other Obama officials that should be indicted and locked up - seemed at first to be the obvious thing that should happen, and obviously Trump’s AG should do it.
Otherwise, you have a two-tiered justice system.
But four years later, with nothing having happened even though Sessions is long gone, I believe it is more a case of poorly managed expectations.
Donald Trump was never going to try and lock them up - he took the pulse and decided he didn’t have anywhere near the political clout to pull off “Saturday Night Massacre times infinity”. As it is, by merely firing Comey and a few others - he got himself impeached! That’s what he is up against.
Who knows, maybe in a second term he’ll be in a better position - but to blame Jeff Sessions for not locking them up and for the whole Mueller debacle - seems like a yuge stretch.
I was ready to be proven wrong when Barr became AG, but he hasn’t made a dent either. There’s got to be more to this than who happens to be AG.
