Former Attorney General and four term US Senator from Alabama will run against Doug Jones (D-AL) to retake his old Senate seat in the 2020 elections.
Bye bye Doug. We hardly knew you.
And bye bye to Roy Moore, who will be shellacked by sessions in the Primary, if he unwisely decides to run again.
Sessions didn't have the backbone to be AG. He got things rolling on killing the leakers, but he was compromised in someway with dirt.
He is meant to be a politician, not a cop.
Hogwash. He at least had the backbone to stand up to the maniac’s demands that he be a personal political fixer when the position is supposed to be about objective enforcement of the law.
Mr. Sessions will be appearing on the Tucker Carlson show tonight (which Mr. Trump watches). Look for Mr. Sessions to praise Mr. Trump to no end. Why? To get back into his good graces, of course.
Will it work? Hard to say. Mr. Trump is known for carrying a grudge, being thin-skinned, short-sighted, and stupid.
Not sure why liberals think Sessions and Moore are the only two possible winners of the primary.
If Sessions win the primary, he would not need Trump to win the general. Everybody knows who he is and he's on board with Trump's agenda.
He shouldn't have recused himself from the Russia thing. It was an obvious stupid Democrat stunt that blew up in their faces.
Sessions came late to the party. There are at least 4 others who declared and have been campaigning for a while. Moore is one of them, but he's not doing well and he's broke.
It will be an interesting race to watch now with Jeff in it; he was one of the last unrepentant Confederates left in the Senate before he became the AG while Alabama was moving on and industrializing. All that new enterprise has brought a bunch of newcomers to the state who aren't southerners. Sessions may be out of step with his home state these days.
I wonder if Sessions has changed after his prolonged humiliation as the Attorney General.
The word back in 2016 was Sessions had become tired of the Senate and wanted a seat on the Supreme Court. The AG position would have been a good step toward that goal at that time. But I'm pretty sure that hope is dashed forever now. It makes me wonder why he wants his old job back now.
Injured pride, maybe? If so, Roy Moore already has that voting bloc covered. Old Roy dripsa trail injured pride wherever he goes.
Running for revenge may bring out the stubborn southern pride in enough voters to carry him. Sessions was always Alabama first, and Moore is always Roy Moore first. That's a big difference.
Sessions had to recuse himself from the Russian investigation. He had some personal knowledge and acquaintance with too many of those involved to ever be considered as a neutral party who is the official in charge of the investigation. The Attorney General is the government's prosecutor, and he had to recuse.
Anything else could have been seen as obstructing justice. When John Mitchell, Nixon's AG, didn't recuse himself from Watergate, he was tried, found guilty of obstruction, and did 19 months in prison.
A half-dozen other lawyers didn't recuse themselves either, and they all ended up in prison. Even John Dean, the lawyer who had a change of heart, warned Nixon, and then testified to Congress, couldn't save himself from a prison sentence.
Sessions is way too smart to follow that path. He also managed to avoid being fired by resigning in the nick of time, which saved both his law license, his career, and the remnants of his reputation as a Senator.
If he loses, so what? That wouldn't be nearly as big a blow to him as his humiliation at the hands of Trump was. Win or lose, running shows Alabama Sessions is made of tough stuff. I think that's always important to a small guy's self esteem.
Jeff is a typical GOP weakling. Got talked into recusing himself by Obama holdovers who then went on a rampage to set the president up. Utter, feckless imbecile.

Gross. There is nothing worse than to see an old man, who should know better, groveling for a job he doesn't need.
Honestly, WHY would he praise this man who treated him worse than dirt? Go retire. Enjoy what's left of your life.
I like this idea of pitting Sessions against Trump, using Trump's own denigrating tweets and videos of Sessions as the weapon. It would definitely make for a dilemma for Alabama Trump supporters.
