For Once In His Life, Jeff Sessions Was Right…
***********
Via Carrie Cordero for Lawfare
Whatever one might think of Jeff Sessions’ record as a U.S. Senator, policy priorities as Attorney General, peculiar recollections of his meetings with Russian government representatives as expressed during his recent congressional appearances, or role in the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, there is no denying this: in what will probably go down as the single most important decision of his professional life, he made the right call.

Finally, for the first time in his life Jeff Sessions did the correct, appropriate, just, right, moral, dignified and respectful thing by agreeing to do nothing. Hooray for us.
I doubt he did it for the “right” reason but will accept with a smile that at least he did it. I don’t forgive him nor forget what a pompous racist jackass liar he is however! ….and some of the adjectives you applied I will not agree with but I will just ignore them. I also doubt it was his idea to stay – someone had to convince him! I also am enjoying the vocalized support he is getting from some of those Repubs because I am sure it is really pissing off trump! Now, I hope the little twerp has the guts to stand his ground!

He did it for survival. He well knew what we are all finding out via the drip drip drip of the passage of time: That just like Trump, Trump, Jr., Kushner, Manafort, Flynn, Page (wait, Bannon has yet to be dragged into this), and others, he was an operative for the Russia/Trump Campaign operation, and that overseeing the Russia investigation would blow up his entire career. Yet, even with his recusal, he was still willing to lie his bigoted ass off in front of the Senate committee to save his skin. But just like Trump, whenever he does something or anything, he causes damage and destruction, and his not doing anything in this context by recusal, as far as the country is concerned, was and remains the correct, appropriate, just, right, moral, dignified and respectful thing he’s ever done in his lfe. Don’t look for a repeat performance, as he remains Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump’s first choice for AG, one of the worst public servants ever appointed to the job, although he and John Mitchell, Nixon’s AG, have much in common.
Marty, did you see Rachel Maddow last night — especially the Manafart story! snippet: apparently he has some Russian Mob connections. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/trump-doj-pick-recently-represented-putin-aligned-russian-bank-1010884675550?cid=eml_mra_20170727
I see you are still flaunting your selected adjectives applied to actions taken by Sessions — persistent if not perfect! hahaha

I use and reused the selective adjectives since there are no emoticons to reflect “tongue-in-cheek,” sarcasm. Perhaps Tim Cook can do something about that.
OH! Read this and be sure and scroll down directly below the few paragraph story and see the comment! hahaha! Maybe we can appeal to H …… at least maybe we could get an italics font?
