I think that is kind of a caricature. Sessions has an old fashioned sense of law and order. Similarly, Trump has a deep respect for the Constitution and rule of law. The notion that either are going to take shortcuts or endorse show trials is ludicrous. But it is also the propaganda of the left, that anyone who opposes them is a Nazi-like authoritarian.
Sessions has an old fashioned sense of law and order.
Really?
Does one with an old-fashioned sense of law and order:
Recuse oneself based upon a questionable and trivial issue - and spuriously based upon the wrong statutory law - then refuse to require his Deputy Attorney General to also recuse himself for multiple serious conflicts of interest?
Refuse to acknowledge and honor the inescapable Constitutionality of Congressional oversight upon the Department of Justice?
Voluntarily and gratuitously eulogize the prosecutors in the Cliven Bundy case, whose conduct was so egregiously unlawful that the Obama appointee threw the case out with prejudice?
Willingly stand by as the Constitutional rights of American citizens are violated by an out-of-control special counsel who himself has multiple, serious conflicts of interest?
Spare me.
I do not care how many Dimensions of Chess are being played - nor if Trump is in on it. Regardless of motivation, Sessions has violated his Oath to uphold the Constitution - PERIOD!
Try selling that pablum to Flynn, Caputo, Manafort, Cohen, and all the rest who have had their lives damaged, if not ruined.
At best, Sessions has an old-fashioned sense of being blindly loyal to his elite club. At worst, Sessions is utterly corrupted by cupidity or thoroughly compromised by indiscretion.
In between those extremes, he may simply have had himself and his family threatened with violence. Anyone who thinks these players are reluctant to do such things needs to peruse the very long list of prematurely deceased associates of the Clintons.
