-- This misdirection and Trump's public anger against Sessions only leaves Sessions backed by Dems when these documents are dropped. Trump gets even with enemies which Dems and the deep state made themselves out to be....all this dirt is going to drop in time for the elections, right on schedule. Sessions will have been publicly defended by Dems on tv over and over with plenty of tape to rerun. --

From my point of view, Sessions recusal is well taken. It's based on a good principle that conflict of interest is to be avoided. DOJ is a big house, and the absence of any single player should not break the function of the operation. IOW, Sessions is not indispensable or the only person who can prosecute Clinton, Comey, Mueller, Ohr, Strzok, and so on.

That this also (pretty much naturally) results in the DEMs standing up for principle is all the better - albeit pretty much unheard of, as the only principle the DEMs adhere to is the outcome.

Meanwhile, Sessions has clean hands, and the principle of avoiding conflict of interest is upheld.

No, he should resign.

“IOW, Sessions is not indispensable or the only person who can prosecute Clinton, Comey, Mueller, Ohr, Strzok, and so on.”

Maybe he is not the only one who CAN, but is there anyone else there who WILL?

Rosenstein is conflicted and should have been recused by Sessions. Mueller is conflicted and never should have been appointed.

At the very least, Sessions as AG, should have recused Rosenstein, before Rosenstein picked Mueller.

Sessions' principles are not "good", they are principles of selfishness and cowardice.
