Sessions’ recusal was a disaster. He fell into the standard leftist trap: fake news accusation against Republican; Democrats call for investigation; due to media pressure, Republicans bow to the unneeded investigation; timid lawyers (probably Federalist Society)advise that recusal is required; and the investigation ends up in the hands of people who are predisposed against Republicans.

Yeah. (Sorry, Grampa Dave, Socon-Econ is right, and it is most definitely not “bs”.)
I do not doubt Sessions’ integrity; I doubt his perspicacity.
The real Republicans have got to stop playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules with lethal, communist street fighters, or we are all doomed.
Pocket-knives do not work well against MAC-10s.
(By the bye, I am a former minister, and spent five years as an avowed pacifist. I once stood my ground and permitted a Roid-Rager to assault me and threaten to kill me.)
I value ethics and morals MORE than most on this site - yeah, I do; get used to it - but Sessions is not just acting on his OWN behalf, he is acting on behalf of the NATION.
His refusal to fight this tooth and nail is a betrayal of our trust.
The nation is on life support, and needs ruthless fighters to save it, not fastidious political parlor gamers.
I'm rethinking this. I was Sessions' harshest critic.
But I noticed a twinkle in his eye during the presser. I couldn't explain that.
Now, with the revelations that the Obama adminstration bugged Trump personally, I'm starting to wonder if Sessions wasn't bowing out because he was, actually, a fox in a henhouse.... and Trump was ready to start indicting Obama people.
Starting to look that way.
