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.
Knowing of the President’s disagreement with my decision, I tendered my resignation in writing the morning after Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel. But President Trump chose not to accept it, and he asked me to continue to serve as his Attorney General and to help him “Make America Great Again.”
The investigation was a disruptive and prolonged fiasco for America and especially for President Trump, and a massive waste of money chasing the deepstate myth of Russian collusion. Recently disclosed documents also reveal the extent of former FBI Director James Comey’s underhanded efforts to undermine our President.
One thing you may not know is that I advised from the beginning of the administration that Comey should be removed and the FBI given a fresh start. I concluded that Comey was driven by ego, lacked self-discipline, and lacked the judgement necessary to lead an agency as critical as the FBI, as was evidenced by the completely improper way he declined to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
The end result of the Mueller investigation is that the President (and I) were fully exonerated, so much so that the subsequent Ukraine impeachment witch hunt did not even mention the phony Russian collusion idea.
My principles, like my faith, are immovable and non-negotiable. I believe it is always right to do the right thing. My opponent, Tommy Tuberville, calls that weakness, which reveals his true lack of integrity.
rue strength and courage are found in the determination to do the right thing, even when you know the consequences may be painful. You can always count on me to do my best to do the right thing, for you, for the state of Alabama, and for the United States of America. I will never go wobbly on you.
I believe President Trump is a great President who is steadily making progress for America, despite relentless opposition. My support for his agenda is not about me, or even about him. It’s about doing the right thing for the country I so love. I have given my entire life to the support of our conservative ideals and to stopping the radical left from their attempts to redefine, and thereby destroy, America. I always have, I always will.
I endorsed President Trump because he had the incredible strength of will and the guts to stand up for the right things, for ending illegal immigration, for protecting American workers, and for stopping endless wars. I’m glad I did.
After the President dismissed me as Attorney General, I did not say a cross word about him, as I thought that would be dishonorable.
The great people of Alabama support the President enthusiastically, and we also make our own decisions on who to send to the US Senate.
This just means we are strong, and no one tells us what to do or how to vote. We’re Alabama, it’s just who we are. After all, it’s our vote, not Washington’s.
Mr. Tuberville is an opportunist who isn’t from here. He stopped here for work for a while, and moved on, eventually retiring in Florida. He doesn’t know the first thing about Alabama. He says the President is wrong on China, says we must import foreign workers to take American jobs, and up until a few months ago, he said he favors amnesty for illegal immigrants. If you don’t like his position on an issue, just wait a few weeks and he will change it. His house is built on sand.
Alabamians have long resisted pressure from people in Washington telling them how to vote. In fact, Alabama’s motto is – “We Dare Defend Our Rights.”
The folks in Washington have been wrong about Alabama before, every time. We make our own decisions.
We will vote overwhelmingly to give President Trump a second term, and we will choose who we send to the Senate. The people of Alabama do not have to choose between voting for the President and voting for me, they can do both.
When I return to the Senate, I look forward to helping the President build the wall, protect American workers, and fundamentally reset our relationship with Communist China.
Respectfully,
Jeff Sessions
In other words, you're a two paragraph by before you decide you know enough to pop off.
You did, and were then committed to your stupidity and in your misguided pride repeat it ad nauseum. Without ever considering how paragraph number three and beyond might affect the first two paragraphs that you hate so much.
Yea, you're a real smart guy.
Doh.
No. Because you're dumb.
Meanwhile, how is that Huber investigation doing?
Just fine. You should be more concerned about how that Durham investigation is going. That one's gonna knock your panty hose off.
How did you feel when...And how did you feel...
See, that's the difference between you and me. I don't 'feel' anyway about this stuff. I 'think' about it.
You need to try it out, road rage. You might see things more clearly, like paragraph three and stuff.

The first couple of paragraphs in Sessions' letter are about Sessions' recusal. The third paragraph(the resignation offer subsequent to his recusal) and beyond do not bolster in any way Sessions' arguments that he tried to make in his first two paragraphs about his recusal.
Sessions never should have recused himself. Sessions was the Attorney General. It was his job to first determine if these investigations had merit and if these investigations involved himself. Only then would he need to recuse himself if these investigations had both merit and involved himself.
But the Comey investigation was baseless and the Mueller investigation was baseless. There was no reason for Session to recuse himself. He should have never let either of them proceed. He recused himself and let the Deep State Mueller investigation destroy lives and waste valuable time.
Defend Sessions' recusals if you like. I won't. He was too afraid to stand up to the Deep State. A person like that never should have even taken the job in the first place.
My mindless spam fights your whiney blabbity blah blah. And my mindless spam emerges victorious.
Defend Sessions' recusals if you like.
Oh, I have your permission to have an opinion? Thanks, gramps.
“you haven’t answered the question as to why you didn’t tell President Trump beforehand, that you were going to recuse yourself before you did it.”
I remember that day. Trump was walking off a platform and a news critter asked him what he thought about Sessions recusing himself. The look on Trump’s face ... you could tell he had no idea.
Get back on your lithium.
I'll pass the message on to your mom. Anything else?
Spot on!
“You can tell Freepers don’t read the article ..lol”
This was a dirty trick... freepers were deprived of their normal excuse of “it’s too hard to click a link”... this time the O.P. had to go and put the whole article up.
It shouldn’t be allowed!!
I wouldnt.
