Sessions, the first U.S. Senator to endorse Trump, was rumored for a number of positions in Trump’s cabinet, including Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense but it appears that the former Attorney General of Alabama has been selected for the highest law and order position in the administration.

Sen. Ted Cruz was also rumored for the position after he was spotted at Trump Tower, meeting with the president elect.

Sen. Sessions would be an excellent choice, BUT

one's first reaction when seeing all or part of this: .. according to Bloomberg News and the New York Times

should be utter disbelief.

Aww, Teddy you shouldn't have dissed President Elect Trump at the Republican Nation Convention....Although you did come around in the last few weeks, I'm sure you will be rewarded accordingly. How does "Assistant Associate Director of Food Labeling" sound.

SESSIONS IS GREAT !!!!

But expect one hell of a fight. The Dems all know what’s in store if he gets that position.

As his first official act next year I propose the AG Sessions appoint Rudy Giuliani as special prosecutor in charge of the Clinton email and Foundation cases.

Keep your powder dry. Wait for the clamor for "diversity" and THEN appoint Sheriffs Clark and Arpaio, Col. Allen West, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann.

How does "Assistant Associate Director of Food Labeling" sound.

Wondering why Trump had Cruz spend 5 hours with his team an hour of which was with Trump himself. Seems odd based on your "insight".

Possibilities:

1. Just wanted to embarrass him.

2. Has a job in mind.

3. Wanted his input on some his selections.

Pick.

1. Trump is up for a fight or three, as is Sessions. 2. He's a sitting Senator, the pubbies will grant professional courtesy, some Dems will do the same (including some who will be glad to get rid of him from the Senate!), and if they go to the wall over Sessions, their act will be worn out when Gov. Palin gets appointed for Dept. of Energy.

Great pick.

I wonder who will take Jeff’s place in the senate. I really liked what he was doing in the senate. Unlikely we’ll get anyone near as good.

4. Told Lyin-Ted just what he has on him, and just how much time he has to get out of the US.
