Sessions was reported to be one of the most respected Senators. We know he's a gentleman's gentleman.
His flaw, imho, that while the friendly confines of Alabama suit Sessions demeanor very well, the hard ball politics of destruction in DC do not. Queensbury rules don't apply anylonger. I'm not convinced his senatorial duties as applied in DC suited him that well, either, which is why he had no problem leaving a comfy Senate seat.
That's the reason, despite my defense, I believe a stronger AG would help this administration.
I think your analysis is on point and quite possibly an accurate summary.
But Rosenstein being voted in by most of the Democrats is not a good thing I’d argue back.
Do you really think 94 senators would have voted affirmative for, say, Rudy Guiliani?
But you could be right. Sessions had some notion that he would be the one to set the FBI and DOJ straight but he is entirely too civil to be nasty when nasty is needed.
I hope you’re right.
Just keep my scenario in the back of your mind.
I think there was a time when Rod Rosenstein was seen by everyone as a perfectly straight shooter. THe past year has changed all that as we see who he sides with time after time.
