I guess that was my underlying point. If Jeff Sessions was/is a good guy, he would not want to retire like this. (Who else is going to appoint him to something?)

A good guy would go out swinging, which means don't just sit in the corner and wait for President Trump to fire him, and Jeff also should have learned by watching the President that taking the offensive is better than the GW Bush approach of letting your opponents define you and continue to pile on.

Not saying he will, but until this whole Mueller thing took off on its own, Jeff Sessions was pretty popular on this web-site. Could we all have been wrong about him all that time?

[Alas Babylon!]

He was my senator.

I met him at several shake and smile political events.

I loved the guy.

VERY disappointed does not do justice....

Who is Sessions? What has he been up to? What goes on in the background? Is he responsible for the thousands of indictments we hear about? Did he and Trump just engage in 3D theater?

All are great questions and I don't know anyone who has the answers.

Yes and no. Jeff has been focused on illegal immigration for many, many years, so he was a natural to join DjT as that was job 1 , and campaign issue #1 as well. But coming from the proper and gentlemanly Senate, where I believe he had good relations with most of his colleagues, he was not equipped for a death match. I suspect he didn't expect Russia, Russia, Russia to be the focus ever since.

But, since it is and will be, he's got to go.
