How old will Sessions be in 2020? Because he can run for Senate against Doug Jones in Alabama and re-take his old seat- albeit without Senate seniority. In fact, pretty sure he would destroy Jone’s chances entirely. Game, set, match. And recoup his poor performance as AG, and restore integrity to the Senator from Alabama.

This could be.

An excellent thought. Sessions is a known quantity to the Alabama electorate, had a good conservative rating, and is a proven vote-getter. As far as seniority goes, if the 'Pubs are still in the majority, they can come to some kind of accommodation, get him a good committee chairmanship and assignment to some other choice spots. IIRC the 'Pubs (then the significant minority) played a similar gambit when Goldwater returned to the Senate as a way of picking up the pieces from the disaster of 1964.

This whole sorry episode may be just another example of a square peg in a round hole. Sessions made for a decent, conservative southern Senator, but was a lousy administrator as the head of a branch of the Executive. That happens fairly often in politics and business. Trump understands that, I'm sure.

I’m not sure AL people would want Sessions back. They seem just fine with the liberal Jones, alas.

Sessions deliberately stood aside and allowed the deep state coup plotters to get away with the most egregious crime in US history - all while leaving the President exposed to a heinous witch hunt that dogged his first two years in office.

The man doesn't deserve to be elected dog catcher of Podunk, Alabama.
