The private sector would have fired him after 6 months.

Geez. Tough choice.

Do I trust the NY Times, using "anonymous hearsay" to judge Sessions.

Or do I take Trump at his word when he says, he has no AG.

If the NYT is praising him, he’s got to be bad for America and the Trump administration.

If not for the whole Russia thing, which of course is very bad, Sessions has done many good things at the DOJ. It’s no wonder the New York Times laments.
