I think Sessions got soft in the head in the year or two before he got the job.

I respectfully disagree. I think Sessions was in bed with the Deep State. Noboyd on the planet could be as weak, detached and passive as Sessions was unless it was intentional. He was a plant from the get go.
They had Dirt on Sessions, and Sessions sent along.
Comey said under oath that Sessions was compromised.
Fairly obvious, or Sessions would’ve had Comey brought up on charges of lying to Congress.

A definite possibility. Although, he had me fooled, as he was supportive enough of Trump during the campaign. So much so, that he would have had to be a deep plant playing a long game.
I’d like to know the real truth of this, and of so many other things.
I agree.
And too few people care, or even know, about the existence of the Senior Executive Service [SES]: non-merit-based political positions of authority (and payment-ceiling-circumventing salary) over all civil servants with actual bureau expertise.
As far as I can verify, all the key players are SES, including Sessions, Horowitz, and Huber. Kavanaugh is too. I assume Barr is.
They are collectively - and they are a collective - the gatekeeper, the firewall, between a temporary elected administration and the permanent unelected bureaucratic class. Some of them derisively call someone like Trump “the Christmas help” with sneering contempt. (Picture Peter Strzok.)
It is as close to Soviet-style political apparatchiks as we have ever had. Thank John Kennedy for creating public unions, and Jimmy Carter for creating the SES. (Both Democrats. Huh. Wonder if that means anything.)
I call it Swamp Central.
