President Trump is a man of many feuds, some of them so petty, they defy defense. But in one of the biggest, he’s standing on the high ground.
Trump and Jeff Sessions, his first attorney general, are locked in a Twitter spat as Sessions seeks to reclaim his Alabama Senate seat. The president has endorsed Sessions’ GOP opponent, former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville, and regularly rips Sessions, tweeting Friday: “Three years ago, after Jeff Sessions recused himself, the Fraudulent Mueller Scam began. Alabama, do not trust Jeff Sessions. He let our Country down.”
Sessions’ response was revealing — of his shocking ignorance. He wrote: “Look, I know your anger, but recusal was required by law. I did my duty and you’re damn fortunate I did. It protected the rule of law and resulted in your exoneration.”

If Sessions had done even a cursory look at the facts, he would have never had an excuse to step aside.
Session’s time of fame and fortune....has come to a close. He’s proven that he’s out of touch with society and the times. He should just retire and take to gardening.
If Sessions does get elected he could end up as the next McCain. I hope the voters of Alabama listen to Trump.
Deputy Dawg Sessions effed himself and he comes back for more.
Sessions mouths off now at Trump far more than the little weasel ever fought the deep state.
Talking about the RINO McCain, I was watching "The View", I know I shouldn't watch but it is great comedy, any way his daughter Meaghan was having a case of the vapors about people enjoying themselves last weekend.
She was mad that people weren't following the "proper" protocols.
Like RINO father, like RINO daughter.
I see Sessions as a real black hat in all of this. I think he is trying to torpedo the seat for republicans.
The jackass could have resigned.
My new tagline.
It’s hard right now to figure out who did more damage to this country: McCain with his spiteful vote to save Obamacare or Sessions letting the Dems waste three years of a great Presidency railroading Trump. May have to leave that up to historians.
Taglines don’t like quotation marks.
You just figured that out?
Astute comment.
My normal trick didn’t work.
Was busting your chops...
John added support for advanced double-quotes many, many years ago. Try a single quote instead.
Sessions has many defenders here. Most recently, after Sessions’s reply to Trump, I saw this:
Sessions offered to resign, but Trump insisted that he stay on.
OK, fine. But all of us — on the outside — saw the coup coup d’état that was developing. Sessions’s office was right inside the DoJ. And if he didn’t see from the inside what we all saw from the outside, then he was no more situationally-aware than is Joe Biden is today.
And if Sessions did put the pieces together and still refused to step aside, knowing the damage that hoax was doing to the administration, and worse — to the rule of law — then was he in on it?
Either way, it’s not good. Jeff Sessions has outlived his usefulness and should just go away.
Sessions, after these naps we’ll be right back.
Sleepy sessions was always just soooooo sleepy for some reason.
I am a Trump supporter but this doesn’t play well, especially with women and independents, the big picture of winning reelection and holding the senate is more important. Even if he doesnt’ feel it, you has to ac the bigger person and offer forgiveness. Just doesn’t help
