Jeff Sessions and his cabal could tell you. I believe it is a concocted narrative to make republicans look heartless in the fall. Sessions ignores the outrageous crimes of Hillary Clinton and lets Mueller and the FBI ruin lives yet he makes a stand on this? And a LOUD stand, even going so far as to quote scripture to back it up. It’s quite a script. And the media will gladly play their role.
Look for the cries to only get louder. But you’ll probably never get a clear answer to your question.
It’s obvious Sessions is in #sabotage mode. Magoo couldn’t do more damage to the Trump presidency and America if he tried.
