Bump!
HI Jim,
Question: are you a Sessions hater?
The reason I ask is that it’s gotten so almost every thread turns into a Sessions hate fest - with all the clichés about him napping or in a coma.
Personally, I think we know zero about what Sessions is or is not doing. Zero about what he should or could be doing differently. Zero about what a more aggressive AG would have done and how things would have worked out if he had. Zero about what Trump really wants or instructs Sessions to do or not do.
I assume the haters think another AG would have refused to recuse - would have stopped the Mueller investigation (or never let it start) - would have fired Rod Rosenstien - would have handed down criminal indictments on Clinton and most of Obama’s cabinet - and that there would have been no blowback from any of this - the impeach Trump forces would have simply buzzed off.
I really doubt things would be much different than they are with a different AG and for all we know - things could have escalated into a much worse climate for Trump - and instead of being viewed by the public as the innocent victim of a witch hunt, he could have wound up looking like a guilty defensive Nixon with his own Saturday Night Massacre.
Anyway, I was curious to know where you stood on this since FR has become so polarized over the issue.
