Sessions was a stalwart on immigration and first major pol to support Trump
This does point out the difficulty in reading intent. Did Sessions recuse because he was more a supporter of McConnell? If he supported Trump on immigration, could he have found a way to recuse in one area only? Could he have found other ways to support Trump as well? The Russian thing was possible to be debunked and if Sessions were more involved perhaps he would have been the one who took on the DOJ on this issue?
Certainly no other enemy stepped out of their position. I know that I supported Jeff Sessions once until he clearly showed that he was not a supporter of Trump.
