There was a vocal group of Giuliani supporters here on FreeRepublic when he was a candidate in the GOP primaries back in 2008. An astute Freeper pointed out the obvious reason why he was a terrible candidate:
"Rudy Giuliani is the perfect guy to deal with problems that most Americans aren't facing."

Go pee in your own Wheaties!

PLEASE GOD!!!
Sessions is an idiot who jeopardized the entire agenda with foolish stunt.
Giuliani is loyal, tough and smart.
????
No way.
Nothing changes the reality that the question of Sessions’ recusing himself began to hit the news at least as early as late January, before and during his confirmation hearings. The Trump administration had more than a full month to make a team decision about that critical issue before Sessions recused himself on March 2.
All this 20/20 hindsight is ridiculous, and Trump is dealing out more of it with these comments this week about why Hillary is not being investigated, which he himself ruled out on November 22, 2016.
The WH and cabinet seriously need to begin coordinating their communications and decisions more closely and more professionally.
Yup.
Thank God he didn’t pick that beached whale Christie.
Oh yes. I bet the establishment politicians on both sides are going nuts about this. I am not sure they will approve him, do you?
Trump's Twitter message was the lead story on the news at the top of the last hour this morning.
The second story was Jared Kushner's closed-door meeting with the U.S. Senate committee.
Did it ever occur to you that President Trump posts these things just to make sure people are talking about something OTHER THAN what would otherwise be the top story in the news? LOL.
Sessions can’t. The idiot recused himself from anything involving a Hillary investigation.
“to seek punishment of those guilty of unlawful behavior”. There’s his reason to go after Hillary and the rest of the cabal of crooks in the Obama administration.
FReegards!
JAY SEKULOW would be a better choice.
Trump plays his own supporters as well as he plays the media.
“The left wants Sessions gone.”
Why would they? Sessions is exactly where the left wants him — out of the picture, where it counts most. Democrats run the Justice Department and so far the FBI.
True, but perhaps Rudy will do as Trump wishes and serve at the pleasure of the president, instead of going rogue like the current AG.
“sources within the West Wing told the news outlet”
Oh yeah, it’s always the ‘sources’. Well, until someone owns up to saying these things, I consider them to be lies.
Everyone jumping on Jeff Sessions for not doing enough in 6 fricking months sounds like a bunch of children! I can’t imagine what Sessions walked into. Unless we want him to be as lawless as what we have had in the last 8 years he’s got to get evidence in line. Based on what I have witnessed watching hearings, evidence has been deleted, destroyed, sent to the Obama library to not be accessed for years, computers & cellphones gone missing or destroyed after being subpoenaed, stonewalling, KEY people taking the fifth and not answering questions, people scheduled to testify DYING SUDDENLY, ect. Pile on top of that people still in the system probably sabotaging and leaking out information. I don’t want to see Sessions go anywhere. Rudy ought to join the team and help in some kind of capacity.
Here are what some of the enemies of Jeff Sessions are saying (go to the articles for the specific accomplishments):
Jeff Sessions has done more damage in his first 100 days than his boss
US attorney general Jeff Sessions may not be part of the biggest investigation in the Department of Justice, but as he reaches 100 days in office, there’s little doubt that he’s had an important impact on the American criminal-justice system—potentially for years to come.
Despite the political turmoil of the Trump administration, Sessions has moved to reverse a tide of progressive reform and to fulfill his boss’s law-and-order agenda, a collection of concepts loosely articulated during the 2016 presidential campaign. Sessions’ biggest actions, from undermining federal oversight of police departments to cracking down on undocumented immigrants, have worried a wide array of lawmakers, law-enforcement leaders, advocates and scientists.
“Of all the cabinet members, maybe even the president, he has to this point had the most significant impact as to policy changes,” said Jesselyn McCurdy, the deputy director at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Washington Legislative Office told Quartz.
Unlike his boss, Sessions is delivering on what he has promised—sometimes on causes he has championed for decades.
“There’s been a great bipartisan movement by organizations on the ground and members of Congress to reform the federal criminal-justice system, based on successes that have happened in the states, but the leader of opposition to that reform was Jeff Sessions, as a senator from Alabama,” McCurdy said. “These are all things that [Sessions], as a criminal justice reform opponent, had on his radar already.
McCurdy said Sessions was “definitely” living up to the ACLU’s concerns, and in some areas, fulfilling the worst-case scenarios.
Jeff Sessions ushers in 'Trump era' at the Justice Department
In just over two months, Sessions has proved to be a central figure in effectuating Trump's vision for America in tangible ways on immigration, crime, police reform and civil rights.
And while the White House searches for new messaging to frame what Trump has accomplished in the first 100 days in office, Sessions has single-handedly managed to make several significant domestic policy changes -- from pressing pause on implementing police reforms to withdrawing Obama-era protections for transgender students in public schools.
His radical transformation of the Justice Department's role is no accident.
Many of the changes Sessions has made thus far track a familiar principle of federalism: the notion that the federal government's powers are limited and it can't coerce states into action. In other words, the federal government should get out of the states' way.
Sessions' critics worry that he is well on his way to undoing many of the major progressive achievements of his predecessors, often by withdrawing from court cases or previous directives that fail to align with his views. Yet Trump supporters cheered Sessions on during the presidential campaign when he said, "the American people are not happy with their government."
Now that Sessions is the nation's top law enforcement officer, his defenders and critics universally agree: he's been busy fulfilling the President's campaign promises and he's just getting started.
At defeating numerous attempts by the Dims and GOPe to pass amnesty for all illegal aliens, starting back in 2006 when W was trying to push it through.

Leftists NEVER, EVER recuse themselves of anything. Who thinks Ginzberg will recuse herself on any cases involving Trump brought before SCOTUS?
Only Republican chumps like Sessions play by the Marquess of Queensbury rules. Sessions might be a nice guy but this is a street brawl.
The Rats gouge eyes, bite the ears and nose, and punch below the belt.
Trump needs a street fighter, not a wimp, as AG.
