Sessions, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.

Sessions wasn't incompetent, he was a traitor strategically planted into the Trump administration. An absolute, complete disaster for the country.

Sessions took his treasonous shot at removing the president and failed.

An honorable man would have done us a favor and taken his own life, but the little wretch is running for office as a conservative Trump supporter.

In a just world, the little prick would be hanging, disemboweled, from a lamp post.

“I can hate Sessions and support him if it means getting the seat back.”

The big questions is did he learn anything and is he now willing to fight for us and The Constitution????

When Sessions dies, I vote we put him in J. McCains grave along side the McCain‘s stain on our country.
I don’t care that he was on the good side at a certain time.
He DID fail his biggest test.

I get the impression that the president goes to sleep thinking about Session’s recusal, and he wakes up the next day thinking about Sessions recusal.

Can’t say that I blame him. That one act made all that followed far easier than it ever could have been.
When there is a vacuum of power in an active system, something else will quickly assume that power.

Sessions was NOT a leader, he was just in way over his head he should have been honest with Trump in the beginning that the job was over his head! Some people are meant to be leaders some are not Trump should have known from his business experience that Sessions was not leader material!! I don’t hold it against Sessions!! Sessions situation was Trumps fault!

"Sessions failed President Trump, the Nation and us... He should have assisted with draining the swamp and rooting out traitor."

AMEN!

The GOP has a fatal flaw and this was exemplified during the Obama administration when we saw the most partisan of behavior by government bureaucrats.

The GOP wants to play by the rules - Obama did not care.

The GOP trusted bureaucrats - Obama politicized them.

The GOP wants to treat others as they would want to be treated - Obama put winning above all things

Sessions 1) failed to realize how politicized the DOJ had become and 2) he valued protocol and the advice of career officials whom he viewed incorrectly as non-partisan. He should have also told Trump 3) that he would recuse himself as many of us saw what was about to happen clearly.

On top of that, even after his recusal, Sessions could have looked at the make-up of the Special Counsel team and waved the BS flag. He didn’t. Another easy call to make that the rest of us saw clearly.

I don’t question Sessions motives like some here do frequently. Overall, I think he is a decent person. However, as a swamp creature (and a Senator) he was ill-equipped to recognize what was happening and far too trusting that the DOJ was not politicized. As a result, he was the most damaging appointee to the Cabinet in my lifetime.

He got played like a sucker and Trump and the rest of us are still paying the bill for it. The fact that he cannot recognize how he got played by his subordinates (he still defends them!) is infuriating and disqualifying in my opinion for any future position as a government leader or member of congress.

.... Are we confident that Tuberville can win in November?

Alabama is normally a very tough state for RATS to win. Last election Roy Moore was successfully smeared as some kind of pedophile. Moore has little charisma but the main reason he lost was that he is an incorruptible conservative Christian. Just the kind of man that the District of Corruption needs and therefore resists the most. Both sides of the aisle worked to make sure he lost.

To this day justice is being denied to Roy Moore as leftist judges keep on finding ways to delay his lawsuit against those who slandered him.

Thus, Sessions not only cost president Trump two years of distraction and harassment, but he also cost the Republican Party a U.S. Senate seat.

I will even go further...how many seats were lost over the whole Russia collusion lie? For 2 years that crap went on while Sessions did nothing. He fired some Obummer people, fought child traffickers, and was good on illegal aliens. But as you said, he tried to be civil while the other side behaved like savages.

Second That.

Read something (not sure that it was an accurate headline) about “the law” that Sessions reportedly referred to at some point was not even appropriate to his particular situation, or his federal position, or some such.

Now, I’m curious what law it was that got past him and was used by Boente to flim flam him into his highly principled recusal. Geeez.

Admittedly I know nothing about Tuberville, but if Alabama sends Sessions back to Congress I think I’ll throw up.

OK. Throw up and vote for him anyway — to keep the Senate — and save Country.

Yep. History will reconcile Neville Chamberlain’s actions, but not The Stealth Assassin Jeff Sessions’.

Britain wasn’t ready for war and Chamberlain knew it. Jeff has no such alibi.

POTUS spoke to him clearly about stepping down. No one, not even Jeff is that dense. He is clearly an enemy of the people.

He’ll be another John McCain and at the right moment just selling the Republican party and stabbed Trump in the back again.

If the Democrats take the Senate, we’ll get stabbed deeper and more often.
