There is a lot we don’t know about the Sessions/Trump relationship.
Jeff Sessions was my Senator and I've even spoken to him at certain Auburn University events where I used to teach. He knows I am a supporter because I told him so! I used to email him on various issues—issues that FReepers promote—and he has always replied quickly with a personalized message back.
But since he became AG...
Every day I become more disappointed in Jeff Sessions.
WHAT is he really up to?
I had a lot of hope it was some 3-D chess he was playing, but as each event slips through his fingers it gets harder and harder to accept this. If I apply Occam's Razor, the simple most likely answer is he will not do what is necessary because of some misguided belief that a subsequent administration should NEVER prosecute the previous administration.
However, what if the previous administration set up the prosecution of the subsequent administration as it was exiting?
In my opinion, this is exactly what happened, and it is truly unprecedented, and absolutely damaging to our country.
Jeff may have his ideals about how things SHOULD be done, but he cannot let them override the travesty that is occurring.
A year's worth of damage HAS occurred that never should have once it was shown that the dossier was the main driving force for all the collusion.
And more importantly, Trump fired Comey on the recommendation of Rosenstein and Sessions himself, so there should NEVER have been the appointment of a special counsel who was set up to investigate this. None, zilch, nada, zero. Extremely bad judgment.
So even if you wonder why Jeff isn't doing more, remember that he approved the Comey firing before Trump did it, and that is extremely disturbing in light of the later appointment of Mueller. It absolutely did great harm to General Flynn and Paul Manafort, and whether they are guilty of certain things, if Mueller wasn't there they would not be in extreme financial and legal difficulties.
And given the way real crimes by Obama, Clinton and holder were left untouched, or in the case of the email server, covered up, it is even more galling.
Someday a real history will be written and it may show the downfall of the American Constitutional Republic, and there will be Jeff Sessions, with everyone in the future wondering why he just stood there and let it all happen!
