Sessions should have stepped away from the confirmation process as soon as it became clear that he would be forced to recuse.
But no - he made a conscious choice to go through the process anyway - knowing full well that he would serve as a neutered and handcuffed AG.
In such a weakened position, it must be asked - whose interests is he serving? Who benefits by having an AG who can't go after the biggest crime in American history -AND who will not resign?
This simple exercise in logic answers every question about Sessions.
If I were Trump, I would demand his resignation and let the fur fly. Sessions is unquestionably compromised and needs to go - even if that means a vacancy at the top until the next session of Congress.
Except for perhaps this one: counter-intel op = attempted coup = act of war = treason - levying, aiding & comfort = capital crime.
I know EG is on board with this equation, along with many others, including myself. So, my question to anti-Sessions/RR posters is this: does they strike you as someone with brass cajones? If they indeed were part of a conspiracy from the beginning, unless this is treated as a simple political gotcha, then they (and many others) are at significant personal peril.
Or, alternatively, they are in so deep that all they can do is attempt to maintain the fiction that the deep state may ultimately prevail. Or perhaps they (and others) are in such a profound state of denial that they think the existing corrupt processes may conclude unabated?
You see, others have logic at their disposal as well. I don't mind anyone putting forth a theory, but the anti-Sessions attacks work best if what we're dealing with is simply Watergate+. If it mounts to something more serious, as in a clear and present existential threat to national security, then I for one continue to see significant contradictions.
