Who wants to bet that Mitch McConnell contacted Jeff Sessions to get him to run.
To prevent a conservative from winning the seat, that is, prevent a non-good-old-boy conservative, for Sessions is certainly VERY conservative.
But McConnell likes people who go along.
So he's intervening, as he always does, to prevent a MAGA type conservative from getting into HIS senate, just as he prevented Tea Partiers from getting elected, then co-opting those that did.
Whichever Republican gets the nomination in Alabama will win the election in November. So McConnell will do what he has to go get one of HIS boys the nomination.
And then he will tell Trump he has to endorse the Republican nominee.
He's an insidious, scheming snake. And the ONLY reason he's confirming judges is to keep conservatives on his side...because he's ALSO up for re-election next year, and he really likes being majority leader.
But always remember, he prefers Murkowski types to Cruz types
,
He was AWOL during his tenure in the DoJ.
Nevermind that Trump called Session his biggest mistake.
F$CK Sessions
Why can’t that old fart just retire?
He spent most of his time hiding under his desk hoping Mueller wasn’t going to hurt him
Just retire and enjoy life
Plenty of other just as if not more qualified people to take that seat.
And F%ck Roy Moore as well, he had his chance and he did everything he could to blow it. If that guy had 1/1000th of a political mind to run a proper and strong campaign, he would be senator today
Let’s flush these has been turds down the drain, millions of people in this country, even millions in Alabama, we can do better then either of those two clowns.
I wonder if Senator Shelby and the GOPe will be campaigning for Doug Jones again? Might be uncomfortable for Sessions if he does. Ha ha.
Trump was better off with Sessions than without him, whatever some people want to say, it’s just an objective fact. McConnell is a brilliant tactician and whatever else might be true, Trump needs all the friends he can get. Trump will be better off with a Sen. Jeff Sessions than with a Sen. Doug Jones.
Friends don’t open friends up to a special counsel investigation
Chris Christie would have done a better job and would have never recused himself over a bunch of MSM nonsense and rumors.
Sessions = giant screw up and almost got Trump impeached over a witch hunt
It’s risky because Moore has shown he’s not capable of getting Alabamans to vote massively for him. Many would vote for him but it’s not a sure thing enough other Alabamans would vote to ensure his victory.
I don’t think so. McConnell doesn’t have to Democrat style blackmail. Mitch controls the purse strings, a lot of campaign cash is in his control. That’s all he needs in order to control most Senators and candidates.
Nevermind that Trump called Session his biggest mistake.
Fake News is feeling their oats tonight thanks to a gift from Sleepy Sessions:
President Trump didn’t know Sessions was going to recuse himself until he did. That is what infuriated the President the most. Sessions took the job knowing full well he would not be fighting for him. Wish he had fired Sessions then and there.. Regardless.. Everything will work out in the Presidents favor.. It Always Does! Goodness Prevails!
Nothing is wrong with me. I’m an American patriot who stands for freedom. Plenty wrong with conservatives.
I’d like to hear what JimRob has to say about Sessions, frankly.
Nauseating.
I doubt McCONnell is a Guaranteed vote against Impeachment. Trump would have to barter with him. TURDle is GOPe.
I disagree. The last time Moore ran, the GOP Establishment ran Democrat style ads AGAINST the man. The GOP-E viciously attacked Moore with negative ads that they NEVER run against the dems to protect The Fossil.
The GOP-E ran ads in largely black democrat communities labeling Moore a racist to protect their incumbent walking dead pubbie.
Your attitude about the man validates the DC Swamps GOP Establishment tactics used against the man to preserve their status quo.

Sessions said he would Appoint John Huber (Utah) to Investigate Epstein’s death.
Hate me for it, but you know it’s true.
Comey’s Puppet
> “The Deep State told Sessions to recuse himself, and Sessions did exactly that.”
The term “Deep State” did not even exist when Sessions was going through confirmation.
> “Sessions defended the Mueller investigation and called it legitimate.”
So did practically every other GOP Senator because it was not yet known it was a hoax and a coup.
> “Trump called Sessions his biggest mistake.”
Yes he did. Next.
> “Don’t make a mistake and support Sessions. It’s reasonable NOT to trust Sessions.”
I personally am not enamored with Sessions. I just want what the President needs, a reliable vote behind Mitch. Regardless of what I think of Mitch, he’s been playing ball with POTUS and that needs to continue. Sessions will go along with Mitch and that is what is needed.
Time to bury the hatchet.
Mr. Sessions was ousted last year. William P. Barr is now ensconced as head of the Justice Department, yet it’s unclear what that means for Mr. Huber and his secret work.
Legal analysts said he should have produced some evidence of progress after more than a year.<<,—
Huber immodestly produced $506,378.32 worth of pay stubs and reported he had made great progress in his investigation...However..it was continuing...
Baloney. Sessions publicly promised to recuse himself during his confirmation hearing.
I grew up in D.C. I know how it works. The cards on the table aren’t anything compared to the ones up the sleeve. JFK found that out.
Thank you. That’s information we all need.
After Rand Paul’s reasoned yet impassioned defense of President Trump at the KY rally, I give great weight to who Rand endorses.
I’ll have a good look at Mooney.
Thanks again.
