I’m having a hard time figuring out why it’s still necessary for Trump to continue slamming Sessions as hard as he still does. I understand that the optics were necessary when he was Attorney General but why the need to continue? It’s unclear to me.

I definitely agree with you.

It is possible Trump would not have even secured the nomination if Sessions had gone to Cruz, as Cruz so ardently hoped. There were no other major politicians on Trump's side early on. For some voters, it helped to have Sessions in the picture.

I do not think Jeff was a very good A.G., but I attribute that to lack of executive experience, and underestimating the depths and treachery of the swamp. In other words, shortcomings for the particular job, not betrayals.

His Letter to Alabama voters was, in my opinion, very convincing. I regard him as a fine Southern gentleman, and think he would make a great Senator again.

Agreed. Sessions is a decent man, and his early support for Trump is something I don’t think Trump would forget. He appreciates loyalty and wouldn’t throw Sessions under the bus even if he thought Sessions was incompetent. Trump has had nicer things to say about people he dismissed that we know were there to undermine him, than what he’s said about Sessions. This overkill with regards to Sessions is part of the show.
