So now, somehow, I am not a Christian because I am critical of Jeff Sessions? Send me the chapter and verse of the Bible where that is appropriate. I have not sinned against the man nor have I slandered him. I have pointed out the facts of what he has done. If I had the opportunity to take him aside in private and point out his sin I would do so But I don't. Neither can you. If I were to adhere to your ridiculous standards, then no one could criticize anything in government including you!

Just admit it. Sessions put the President and the country in a horrible situation because of his ego and his pride of protecting his "reputation".

I am 100% in favor of reasonable, thoughtful criticism, even when I disagree. I am not in favor of anyone attempting to filibuster a thread by posting the same two or three over-the-top accusations a dozen and half times. I am also not in favor of demagoguery and simplistic scapegoating. It so easy to blame Sessions for everything, instead of having to actually think this through in a levelheaded manner.

Where’s your blame for the Democrats, the “press,” and the Congressional committees actually doing this witch hunt? Where’s your blame for Rod Rosenstein, the man who decided there should be a special prosecutor and chose Mueller? When I first heard that Trump had nominated Rosenstein to be the Deputy A.G. I was afraid it would be trouble, since he was a career bureaucrat and had been promoted by Obama. One could just as easily say the entire blame is on “cowardly,” “selfish,” “ego” driven Rosenstein, but even that would be simplistically papering over all the complexity of the real situation.

I never said you weren’t a Christian. LOL. I do not think it reflects well on what is also my religion as well as yours when anyone attacks a person viciously and repeatedly for doing the ethical thing, especially while declaring one's Christianity. That you would also push a distortion of Sessions’ testimony that goes against what I have seen 90+% of conservatives say about it—and do so without having even watched the hearing before declaring your judgment—also does not reflect well on you.

Sessions put the President and the country in a horrible situation because of his ego and his pride of protecting his "reputation".

This is simply slander (as is your dishonorably calling him a “coward” several times because he did what he believed to be the principled thing). You have said this several times now without a shred of evidence, only your personal speculation. I would have no problem with reasonable criticism over whether he was or was not required to recuse himself. You didn’t do that; you chose only to unfairly attack him. I’m glad none of us here will ever be in a foxhole with you, because it’s obvious that you would (using your own wording) stab those on our side in the back first long before you ever got around to standing up to the enemy.
