Jeff Sessions Confronts Trump on Twitter Over His ‘Anger’
Daily Beast ^ | May 22, 2020 | Allison Quinn

Posted on 05/22/2020 10:23:24 PM PDT by be-baw

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions publicly called out President Trump on Twitter late Friday for continuing to whine about his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.

...

“Look, I know your anger, but recusal was required by law,” Sessions wrote. “I did my duty & you're damn fortunate I did. It protected the rule of law & resulted in your exoneration. Your personal feelings don't dictate who Alabama picks as their senator, the people of Alabama do.”

Aside from the fact he’s a lowlife traitor, Sessions has never had a job outside of government. If he doesn’t get elected he should sue the people of Alabama for denying him his right to continue sucking off the government teat.

“That was actually the most ballsy thing sessions has done in 4 years.”

Nope. GOP wimps like sessions stand up only to other republicans, never to democrats or enemies of the state.

Cheap. And wimpy.

“Jeff Sessions would make a better senator for Alabama than either Doug Jones or that football coach from Florida.”

****

and breed another Romney in the senate effing Trump up at every turn?

No thanks. With Doug Jones at least we know he’ll stab you in the front NOT IN THE BACK like Keebler Elf here..

Sessions is still wrong on his recusal, but both he and Trump need to step back from this fight. Holding the seat needs to come first. Is getting back at Sessions worth the Senate?

Sessions accepted the AG position knowing that he was going to recuse himself, and never told the person hiring him(Trump), that he was going to recuse himself or why. I have no respect for Jeff Sessions.

Funny how Jeff never said much in anger over Obama’s leftovers in the DOJ who set him up to recuse himself, but blasts Trump.

...Gregg Jarrett and others stated Sessions applied the law incorrectly in requiring himself to be recused.

Not an article, but the words out of Jarrett's own mouth.
Jeff Sessions Cited the WRONG LAW when He Recused Himself from Russian Witch Hunt

Attorney General Sessions’s Recusal Was Unnecessary By Andrew C. McCarthy
Nonetheless, it was unnecessary for Sessions to recuse himself from the broader counterintelligence investigation. It is not a criminal inquiry, and Regulation 45.2 explicitly applies only to criminal investigation or prosecution.

Sessions is like a dripping faucet. He just won't stop his aggravating behavior.

Sessions had an obligation to look at the evidence before deciding to recuse himself.

The FACT that there was NO EVIDENCE of collusion should have caused Sessions to refuse recusal and stand up against an investigation without merit.

“You’re no hero Jeff.”

He’s a rough tough cream puff.

He’s very bold when it comes to trash talking PDJT via digital media. Now, if he had met with POTUS face-to-face and discussed the possibility of him recusing himself — from EVERYTHING — I might find a little respect. He’s a weenie, and a traitor.

When it comes to collusion, impeachment, etc., he could’ve nipped it in the bud.

“he’d probably be OK as rejoining the Senate”

Except that he’d be a strong critic of all things Trump. His tweet is a prelude to what Alabama, and we, could expect for his entire term. He has no moral compass.

“I also don’t see where he’s been friendly with Democrats.”

Because handing over Trump to the RATs on a silver platter for persecution wasn’t “friendly” to the RATs.

“Sessions wrote. “I did my duty & you’re damn fortunate I did. It protected the rule of law....”

Only your resignation would have protected the rule of law, you little weasel.

Law experts say that the law DID not require that he recuse himself. He was too stupid to realize that.

My contempt for this back-stabbing little bitch is well-nigh boundless. Dude’s a weak sister and this manly pose is simply that. An apology would be more in order, but that won’t happen for he knows what he did and why. I expect he was paid the usual 30 pieces of silver.
