Sessions, who was the first and for a long time only senator to endorse Trump in 2016, left the Senate to become Trumps attorney general in February 2017. He had held the Senate seat for 20 years.
But his relationship with the president quickly turned sour after he recused himself from a decision to appoint a special counsel to investigate Trump after it was revealed that Sessions did not disclose a meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Nevertheless, Sessions said Tuesday he doesnt have any regrets.
No, you dont regret things like that, Sessions said when asked by conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt about whether he regretted leaving the Senate to serve in the Trump administration.
I did what I thought was right. We did so many good things as attorney general. Im so proud of the team that we accomplished, the help we gave the president to pick judges, the defending of religious liberty, the reduction of regulations and the reversal of a surge in crime, Sessions said on The Hugh Hewitt Show.
Sessions said a law enforcement plan he helped implement as attorney general has now been reducing crime every year.

Ditch likes to interfere in the Senate elections of people who are likely to be too independent of his control.
I’ll bet.....
Just what I was going to post.
His do-nothing replacement isn't any better.
Jeff Sessions has the work ethic of a U.S. Senator.
It was GOP that tried to use Russia hoax to bully & blackmail Trump.
Sessions had no way to put Trump above his dirty party.
One of the WORST decisions of President Trump’s presidency that started a ball of sh*t that let the coup grow,let the Swamp scum left and NeverTrumps spit at the rule of law and let an incredibly essential Senate seat go.
Nobody's perfect, Trump rewarded a loyal supporter and Sessions allowed for the Mueller Investigation, the loss of the House, which led to impeachment and prevented Trump from accomplishing many many other great things for America.
I sure regret it. He was one of the worst AGs in history, and he allowed a DemoKKKrat to take the senate seat.
If he didn’t plan on prosecuting the Deep State, he should never have taken the job.
Realize that even IN SPITE of the Russia recusal, he didn’t do the following:
*Prosecute a single antifa thug or assaulter.
*Prosecute a single state Sec of State who had sanctuary state status.
*Prosecute a single mayor who had sanctuary city status
*Back up Kris Kobach’s vote fraud initiative by forcing the states to provide data
*Indict the Awans
Add to that the utterly pathetic “work” during the Coup, and he was pitiful.
Hey, Jeff. GTF Away.
Chronic pain patients absolutely detest the little terd.
Sessions stepped down as attorney general at Trumps request in November 2018 after being the target of the presidents frustration for months during former special counsel Robert Muellers investigation of allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election.Any Republican President must—must extract a pledge from any applicant for the job of AG that without the presidents express permission s/he will not recuse him/her self,nor name a special counsel, on any account.Anything less simply invites a replay of the scenario induced by the Morrison v. Olson decision authorizing special prosecutors not actually in the Justice Department. Dissenting from the 8-vote majority, then-freshman Justice Antonin Scalia famously stated that
"Frequently an issue of this sort will come before the Court clad, so to speak, in sheep's clothing: the potential of the asserted principle to effect important change in the equilibrium of power is not immediately evident, and must be discerned by a careful and perceptive analysis. But this wolf comes as a wolf."Scalias was a lone dissent - but history has put paid to the majority opinion, and made his the de facto controlling opinion.
My handy-dandy Newspeak media translation guide for political ideology labels:
Media labels vs. Reality:
Blue = Red
Socialist/Left-wing = Stalinist
Liberal = Marxist
Moderate/(Centrist) = Socialist
-—>Conservative = Liberal<-—
Far-Right = Moderate
Ultraright/Racist/Bigot = Conservative Mainstream
So Hewitt is a liberal.
