So Sessions was an early, enthusiastic supporter of Trump, the first Senator, in order to conduct a silent coup when he won, which at the time appeared to be next to impossible because all the polls and pundits were predicting an easy Hillary win. You are viewing history in your rear-view mirror, and imputing retroactive knowledge to its actors. Mitch McConnell might be supporter Jeff Sessions for any one of a number of reasons:
1. He’s ineffective, or at least seems to be so.
2. Trump keeps complaining about him.
3. He’s a friend and colleague and really has the southern gentleman thing down.
4. Fauxhcohantas hates him because he stopped a ballot-box-stuffing scheme in Alabama once.
5. He is quietly doing something important and significant, which might even be pleasing in the eyes of Trump. Might even put the Evil Witch behind bars until her hanging.
There is WAY TOO MUCH wishful thinking in your analysis of Sessions.
......history is the best predictor of the future, Sessions has behaved like he works directly for Mueller up to this very moment.... His recent statement about DOJ not being influenced by politics duplicated Rodentstein’s previous subterfuge.
