So if Sessions wins you think he won’t want any revenge against President who fired him?

No, Sessions will not seek revenge because he knows Alabamans love the President. He’s not a vindictive man, he has a very strong Christian faith.

When Sessions came into being AG, he had a slew of US Senators that thought him a traitor for supporting such an outsider as Trump. He had supported Trump and he paid a price for that support. He should not have been AG but he did appoint Durham, and he did get after the Clinton Foundation with Huber. He also got after the child traffickers whose crimes are unthinkable. What he did not do is involve himself in the Russian Collusion hoax.

When Trump heard that Sessions had recused himself, he was furious but was told to give it time, that it would turn out all right. So a timeline shows that Trump had the sentiment to “trust Sessions”, then as circumstances got worse such as threats by the prosecuting gangsters against the Trump children, Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Trump blew a gasket and his trust of Sessions evaporated.

Trump held on to Sessions because the Senate was hostile to Trump, namely certain GOP Senators. Jeff Sessions remained and tempered his colleagues in the Senate.

After the 2018 elections, as soon as the Senate was secured 53-47 in favor of Republicans, within minutes, Trump fired Sessions. But in firing him he gave him a warm sendoff and went along with the narrative that Jeff had stepped down.

We forget how many GOP Senators hated Trump but most of the really bad ones are gone. Trump knew if he did not secure the Senate,, his presidency was lost. To say this president gave 250% to winning the Senate for GOP friendlies would be an understatement.

Many since have come around to Donald Trump and see him as a leader that will go down in American history as highly significant in policy, trade, banking, economics, immigration, with a character that was positive, focused, measured, practical, beneficent.

Mark Levin was once a rabid Never-Trumper and now he supports Donald with all he’s got. Why do Freepers support Mark now when he was such a butthole in 2016 and coming into 2017? Jeff Sessions worked a lot harder in support of Trump than Levin during that time. And I was glad to see Mark turn around and see the light. Similarly, I think we will see Jeff without a second thought support POTUS if he wins the Senate seat.

So many have come around to Trump but Jeff Sessions was one of the very first but he got caught in the crossfire between Senate Never-Trumpers and the President. And those in the Senate were his longtime friends. He should have resigned but Trump needed him to calm and temper the Senate where Jeff had so many friends.

All in all it wasn’t the best combination of persons and events but I give full credit to Donald Trump for holding everything together and emerging victorious through it all. When we think of the enormity of what needed to be done and what needed to happen, it boggles the mind that Donald Trump rose to the occasion.

Jeff Sessions was not an enemy, he just didn’t have the capacity to rise up and really support the President as needed. He did do some good, but mostly he was as POTUS called him, “Mr. Magoo”.
