As the world knows, the President disagreed with me on recusal, but I did what the law required me to do. I was a central figure in the campaign and was also a subject of and witness in the investigation and could obviously not legally be involved in investigating myself. If I had ignored and broken the law, the Democrats would have used that to severely damage the President.
Some have asked, why take the job as Attorney General if I knew I would have to recuse myself from the investigation? I knew no such thing. I wasnt informed of Comeys secret investigation until after I became Attorney General, and the investigation wasnt publicly confirmed by the FBI until weeks after my recusal.
Knowing of the Presidents disagreement with my decision, I tendered my resignation in writing the morning after Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel. But President Trump chose not to accept it, and he asked me to continue to serve as his Attorney General and to help him Make America Great Again.
The investigation was a disruptive and prolonged fiasco for America and especially for President Trump, and a massive waste of money chasing the deepstate myth of Russian collusion. Recently disclosed documents also reveal the extent of former FBI Director James Comeys underhanded efforts to undermine our President.
One thing you may not know is that I advised from the beginning of the administration that Comey should be removed and the FBI given a fresh start. I concluded that Comey was driven by ego, lacked self-discipline, and lacked the judgement necessary to lead an agency as critical as the FBI, as was evidenced by the completely improper way he declined to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
The end result of the Mueller investigation is that the President (and I) were fully exonerated, so much so that the subsequent Ukraine impeachment witch hunt did not even mention the phony Russian collusion idea.
My principles, like my faith, are immovable and non-negotiable. I believe it is always right to do the right thing. My opponent, Tommy Tuberville, calls that weakness, which reveals his true lack of integrity.
rue strength and courage are found in the determination to do the right thing, even when you know the consequences may be painful. You can always count on me to do my best to do the right thing, for you, for the state of Alabama, and for the United States of America. I will never go wobbly on you.
I believe President Trump is a great President who is steadily making progress for America, despite relentless opposition. My support for his agenda is not about me, or even about him. Its about doing the right thing for the country I so love. I have given my entire life to the support of our conservative ideals and to stopping the radical left from their attempts to redefine, and thereby destroy, America. I always have, I always will.
I endorsed President Trump because he had the incredible strength of will and the guts to stand up for the right things, for ending illegal immigration, for protecting American workers, and for stopping endless wars. Im glad I did.
After the President dismissed me as Attorney General, I did not say a cross word about him, as I thought that would be dishonorable.
The great people of Alabama support the President enthusiastically, and we also make our own decisions on who to send to the US Senate.
This just means we are strong, and no one tells us what to do or how to vote. Were Alabama, its just who we are. After all, its our vote, not Washingtons.
Mr. Tuberville is an opportunist who isnt from here. He stopped here for work for a while, and moved on, eventually retiring in Florida. He doesnt know the first thing about Alabama. He says the President is wrong on China, says we must import foreign workers to take American jobs, and up until a few months ago, he said he favors amnesty for illegal immigrants. If you dont like his position on an issue, just wait a few weeks and he will change it. His house is built on sand.
Alabamians have long resisted pressure from people in Washington telling them how to vote. In fact, Alabamas motto is We Dare Defend Our Rights.
The folks in Washington have been wrong about Alabama before, every time. We make our own decisions.
We will vote overwhelmingly to give President Trump a second term, and we will choose who we send to the Senate. The people of Alabama do not have to choose between voting for the President and voting for me, they can do both.
When I return to the Senate, I look forward to helping the President build the wall, protect American workers, and fundamentally reset our relationship with Communist China.
Respectfully,
Jeff Sessions
Take it as you wish, but it’s meant complimentary.
Madison’s views would be wasted on many.
I will look into it if I can ever find the time. I'm currently busy saving Madison's America and the world and that's a full time job.
“Sessions showed no honor then, and hes showing no honor now.”
If Sessions had a scintilla of honor, he would have chosen resignation over recusal.
All the torment this country has gone through is a downstream result from that one action.
You are the real dope.
The FBI lies, and opens a false and selective perjury investigation on Sessions, and then he has to step down? Bullshit. Sessions was a fool and a coward but he wasn’t a liar yet he cowered to liars. That’s how we got this three year Stalinist Mueller freakshow, by people cowering to liars. You fight Comey’s political bullshit, you don’t acquiesce to it. Had he fought them on principle and forced it all out into the open - this would have been over three years ago.
FBI opened a false investigation on Flynn. FBI opened a false investigation on Carter Page. FBI leaked private conversations of US citizens. These are crimes moron. They don’t decide who the Attorney General is.
It was Sessions fault.
Well said. Agree 1000%. This all should have been wrapped up in 2017. We needed lions then and unfortunately we got lambs like Jeff Sessions.
That Sessions recused himself, without protest or self-defense and without the courtesy of informing the President is conduct unbecoming of a Southern Gentleman. One of the knives in Trump’s back has Sessions’ fingerprints all over it. Nothing he says can erase his treachery.
And the marines would kick down the doors of all the derps and perp walked them on CNN and blah blah blah, just like you stupids have been complaining forever that Trump didn't do.
Then they could have all gone to trial in a corrupt judicial system, before the media was exposed as the corrupt fake news that they are, before Trump appointed boocoo real judges, before the derp infiltrators were removed and replaced by patriots within the FBI, DOJ, CIA, DNI and other Federal Departments.
You and the people like you are like little children in your thinking. Let me rephrase that. Like little retarded children.
So you go ahead and keep throwing your Sessions tantrums, telling your bagpipe jokes, tearing out your hair with your virtue signaling snarling about WHAT TRUMP SHOULD DO cause you know best, with your superior, know-it-all condescension as if you're the only ones who care.
In the meantime, the walls are fixin' to come tumblin' down and you dopes still don't have a clue what's coming.
Hope you like surprise parties.
Stupid.
Hey DoucheBagster
Sessions failed. He was intimidated by a bullshit perjury charge, that wasn’t even perjury. He could have forced that issue immediately because his rights were being violated. So you are wrong, and your canned psychotic ranting which doesn’t make any sense, doesn’t make it right. Turns out, the FBI was committing the crimes. If there was ever a time to fight in Session’s entire life, it was that time, and Sessions did nothing. (What happened to the vaunted perjury charge? Nothing - fool. It was a device to keep him out of the coup. So Sessions let him keep a bullshit perjury investigation over his head for years - are you kidding me?)
Loretta Lynch didn’t recuse herself - so stop the garbage as if this cannot be fought. There are plenty of ways to fight it and Sessions didn’t. Cowering was not the answer. Not then and not now as we see the damage that was done. An Atty General has a lot of power and he could have put the screws to those assholes, but he refused to use the office.
Case Closed.
“So you think he should have compromised himself? That would have harmed Trumps presidency.”
The choice was never between compromising himself or not.
There is no indignity in stepping down when you cannot serve in the position you hold.
Maybe in retard court. Too bad for you, this is smart people court.
I'd repeat my post, but you're way too stupid to get it. So I'll let you wallow in your dumbness.
Does it hurt?
The unnamed source in the Deep State NY Times is the original source of your belief. Do you understand that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You refuse to read the article upon which I based my comments, you then pull in an article I never referenced and go on and on and on about it. Try to understand...I BASED MY COMMENTS ON JEFF SESSIONS STATEMENTS, NOT WHATEVER OTHER DOCUMENTS YOU PULL IN!
Wait! Wait! You don’t want to understand and all this mess you’re writing is intentionally designed to waste time. NOW I understand you! But you didn’t dilute EVERY post on this thread so people coming to read the article were able to read a few relevant comments here and there before you flooded the zone with nothingness to keep people from bothering to read it.
Reading the first two lame paragraphs of Jeff Sessions' letter was enough for any reasonable person not to proceed to his third paragraph, where yes, Jeff Sessions did indeed confirm that he did offer his (too little and too late) resignation.
It would be more intellectually honest and you people would have more credibility for your emotional, illogical rants if you stopped trying to refute obvious truths with your bullschitt. Helpful hint.
No, not at all. It would more intellectually honest if you were to stop defending Jeff Sessions' miserable excuses. Did you read the first two paragraphs of his letter??
Hint: It's bullsh*t and you're enabling it.
BTW, weren't you one of the Qballs who claimed that Sessions didn't really recuse himself? And now you are defending Sessions' reason for recusing?
You're twisting.
LOL!
You made three posts to me all because I didn't read one factoid in a pathetic Jeff Sessions vote-for-me letter at 2am in the morning?
You must be desperate...
...to finally find something...ANYTHING...that you were right about.
Meanwhile, how is that Huber investigation doing?
How did you feel when when Trump kicked Jeff's elf-like rear end out of the DOJ?
And how did you feel when Trump didn't endorse Sessions and instead had to settle for a mediocre candidate, Tuberville?
You're delusional.
I addressed the first two paragraphs of Session's letter which were nonsense.
The information about the resignation was in the third paragraph, which I've now noted.
BTW, how many Trust Sessions and Trust Huber Q posts have you "flooded" FreeRepublic with?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So the fact I post other content you don’t like is the reason you’ve been throwing chaff on this thread?! I knew there had to be a reason for you to just churn out buckets ‘o nothing!
You are projecting.
As I said, you are delusional.
What a douche!
No.
And nobody I know did either. There was some speculation that he may have un-recused himself at one point, however. I was not one of those either.
And now you are defending Sessions' reason for recusing?
No. I'm explaining WHY he recused himself to a moron. Just like the article at the top of the thread does.
You're twisting.
You're moon walking.
You should engage your brain instead of your blind, ignorant rage and work on your social skills.
Things might go a lot smoother.
You shouldn't talk about your mom like that.
Shame on you.
