Explain to me why Sessions would back Trump from the beginning, campaign for him, then immediately try to overthrow him.
Jeff Sessions is one of the strongest populist/conservatives to serve in the US Senate in my lifetime. Why would he want to overthrow the strongest populist/conservative president since Jackson? It is the goofiest, most non-sensical and slanderous conspiracty theory I’ve ever heard of.
Sessions is at best weak and ineffective. Mueller is spending large fortunes, directing a cadre of Trump-hating lawyers to somehow, some way, identify a crime—any crime—with which to indict Trump. After Sessions’ chicken-guano recusal, Sessions was investigated. It was officially concluded that Sessions had had no valid reason to recuse.
At that point, were Sessions even half-heartedly supportive of Trump, he’d have unrecused and reined Mueller in. He’d have been a hero, and Trump would be out from under Mueller’s never-ending persecution.
But Jeff is perfectly happy to let Mueller run wild. Jeff is more concerned with publicly praising Rosenstein than with giving Trump a fair shake.
Sessions is an embarrassment.
