Them’s my thoughts.

Hey, them are some pretty good thoughts about Barr. What are your thoughts on the possibility Magoo will be back on the scene somehow soon?
Excerpt of Open Letter published by Jeff Sessions during his 2020 Senate run:
"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 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.”
I have been thinking about this lately. Note that the FBI didn't confirm the investigation into Sessions until weeks later.
The FBI stood by while Trump and the public raged at Sessions for his recusal. The way it was done, the public believed they knew Session's reason for recusal and didn't realize Comey had escalated the accusation against him to a secret, active investigation only after he accepted the appointement.
It's possible that the FBI was waiting for Sessions to defend himself from the left, the right, and the President by saying he was under investigation.
I wonder if there are terms under which Sessions was not allowed to tell the public that kind of detail about the secret investigation targeting him.
But making telling the public he was under investigation, even though the charges were baseless, would have given the Swamp ammunition to claim Trump's DOJ was compromised and was a national security threat; that Trump already had weaponized the DOJ; that the investigation itself supported the validity of the Russia hoax and Trump was a traitor.
With the MSM spining Comey's fake/secret investigation into ammunition, the swamp could declare a Constitutional crisis (UN! UN! HALP! SAVE US!). At the very least, they could launch their planned riots.
If this was their strategy, Sessions didn't fold, so the FBI released that information weeks later. I haven't researched that FBI "release"; wonder if it was Maggie Haberman? :/
Note that Mueller et. al. kept trying to get the unredacted version of his SC report to the public, but Barr would not allow it. I wonder if the redactions included damming smears against Sessions, Trump and or Trump's children (Similar to the FBI forcing Flynn to agree not to say in court that the FBI threatened to prosecute Flynn's son.)
The false accusations in the SC's report could have been used to pull down both Trump, his children and his adminstration's DOJ.
If Sessions ran for office so he would have a public platform from which to explain himself, my first impression was that it failed. I feel like I am one of 5 people who found his open letter on his Alabama state candidate website, and 2 of us read it. The MSM seemed to keep that public statement from the public.

But then again, I DID read it. Probably more than 5 of us read it. For Sessions to officially join Trump's administration in some capacity, he would need far more exposure of the way he was treated by the FBI before the public would accept him.
