Ok I know beating up sessions is sport here
But he was strong on immigration
He was an earLy Trumpist.....very early
He was hopelessly naive and grossly underestimated what was going on when he recused
But he’ll win senate handily and be a Trump bulwark supporter
And Trump being Trump will forgive him
Trump ended up with Barr who I think is a serious man
His public speeches on culture are right of john Ashcroft which is saying something
‘And Trump being Trump will forgive him’
Trump reminds me of Steinbrenner sometimes.
‘
How about his sustained effort to block an Investigation of the Surveillance and Coup of a sitting President?
Nothing to do with recusal.
‘
He also got the ball rolling in the IG report that’s about to be released(imminent according to Barr a day or three ago)
"Several Republican lawmakers had already called on Sessions to recuse himself — and some of them applauded him after he did so. Sen. Ben. Sasse (R-Neb.) called it the “right decision.”
"House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) tweeted early Thursday that “AG Sessions should clarify his testimony and recuse himself.”
"House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) shared conflicting views on Sessions during back-to-back television interviews Thursday. Asked whether Sessions should recuse himself, he told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” “I think the trust of the American people — you recuse yourself in these situations, yes.”
"Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a close friend of the former Alabama senator who introduced him at his confirmation hearing, called on the attorney general to withdraw from the Russia investigation in order to "ensure public confidence." She added in a statement that Sessions "should also clarify his statements to the Judiciary Committee."
"Republican Sen. Rob Portman also called for a recusal. “Jeff Sessions is a former colleague and a friend, but I think it would be best for him and for the country to recuse himself from the DOJ Russia probe,” the Ohio senator said in a statement.
"Meanwhile, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who last week called for a special prosecutor to investigation Russia’s election interference, said in a statement Thurssday “that we need an independent review by a credible third party and that Attorney General Sessions should recuse himself from any investigation into Russia.”
"At least eight House Republicans who are Democratic targets in 2018 are calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from any investigations into Russian involvement in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign as pressure mounts from both parties for him to step aside.
GOP Reps. Brian Mast (Fla.), Mike Coffman (Colo.), Martha McSally (Ariz.), Darrell Issa (Calif.), Ryan Costello (Pa.), Barbara Comstock (Va.) and Carlos Curbelo (Fla.) have all been named as targets by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). With the exception of freshman Mast, all are in districts won by Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in November.
"Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-N.J.), a House Intelligence Committee member who is also on the DCCC list, also joined the calls.
"All eight have said Sessions should recuse himself from any probes the Department of Justice (DOJ) conducts related to Russia, after reports emerged that he did not disclose to Congress contact he had with the country’s ambassador during the 2016 campaign."
I agree. Sessions was a lousy AG, but he wasn't a lousy Senator.
