This is not how you treat loyal friends.

Your statement applies to Sessions, not Trump.

Trump gave him his hand of friendship, and his trust.

He gave him his "dream job." He entrusted him as the chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States.

Trump granted him a position of great power, prestige, resources, and authority.

And Sessions backhanded Trump across the jaw.

Has Sessions done some great things for the Conservative cause over the years? Absolutely!

But he has to go.

For a civil society to continue to function, the Rule of Law must be upheld.

After 8 years of seeing the Rule of Law raped, we hoped that someone would finally restore it, and hold those who violated it accountable.

Sessions took our trust and hope and tore it to shreds.

By appointing Mueller, Rosenstein recused himself too.

Where is the same criticism of Rosenstein -- from either President Trump or from Sessions' detractors here on FreeRepublic?

Sessions career is based on the Rule of Law ever since he started working for DOJ as a prosecutor. He played it by the book consulting with the DOJ ethics committee. I have never met a public official elected or otherwise that had the integrity of Jeff Sessions. There is a reason why he ran unopposed in his last election.

Trump is going to pay a heavy price with Sessions resignation. It is catastrophic. Trump will feel the blow-back from this action. He is going to lose a lot of support.
