Excerpt: "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 wasn’t informed of Comey’s secret investigation until after I became Attorney General, and the investigation wasn’t publicly confirmed by the FBI until weeks after my recusal. "

He could have resigned and cleared the way for an AG who could be active.

I will never forgive Jeff for his fatally-naive recusal. But I would still vote for him over the open-borders retard Tuberville.

Well Jeff, you haven’t answered the question as to why you didn’t tell President Trump beforehand, that you were going to recuse yourself before you did it.

Sorry but Sessions is looking more dirty and gutless every day.

Sessions should have resigned and given the President the opportunity to appoint a fully functional AG.

Instead Sessions recused himself, paving the road to a Special Counsel, and then used his friends in the Senate as a shield against termination.

Sessions showed no honor then, and he’s showing no honor now.

I hope at least one person on this thread bothers to read the article and discovers that Jeff Sessions was not aware that he was being investigated by James Comey when he accepted the position from President Trump.
Once he accepted, he was notified he was under investigation and he couldn’t be in charge of investigating himself, so he recused, just as the deep state plotted.

Why does Sessions keep bringing the Recusal up?

All that does is remind me why I was so angry with him. Is he still in the running for that elected position? Maybe Voting Day is getting very close.

Do a bunch of these posters think you are Sessions or are they actually directing those comments to you?

I’m for Jeff, a great Southern gentleman.

He did not do a great job as A.G., but that spoke more to his lack of executive experience and to his being unable to fathom the depths of the swamp.

I hope Alabamans will see it this way and send him back to the Senate.

Recusing himself may not be the smartest move Session did, Democrats would have used/will use Russian Hoax to drive a wedge whether he recuse himself or not.

IF Session had tried to resign, but Trump convinced him to stay on as AG, then blames are going to both sides.

But then Trump shouldn’t continue to belittle Sessions, esp. publicly.

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...

Yet, you didn’t say a thing.

Man this guy is slow. Sessions recuse himself from the investigation March 2017. I was aware of something major on July 5 of 2016.
Comey stating Hillary didn't intend to brake the law though she did brake the law. The FBI can't prosecute if she had no intention to brake the law
This HAD to be a directive from the president at the time.

Should remind folks that Sessions was pushed to recuse, not because of Comey investigating him (which was not known to him) but because.... he was seen interacting with Russians!
That was what Rosenstein told him. Piling on with the “you must recuse because you too have been “in contact” with the Russians (just like Flynn-— quelle horreur!).

Disgusting lying Rosenweasel. The T- up was Flynn, then Sessions. Sessions were he a more bold person should have seen through the head fake as ridiculous, and simply not recused himself— they could not force him to recuse. But Sessions spent too much time in the “boys club” Senate, imho.

Still a Trump supporter, who can help in the Senate, far better than his opponent.

What are the odds that Jeff Sessions was unmasked by Obamagaters? I’d say near 100%, and quite likely where the DS got dirt on him and shut him down.
