Jeff Sessions was just over his head and not up for this fight. I do not vilify him for recusing himself, he was blocked in by the Democrats, but he should have seen that trap coming and never let himself be set up as he was. That is true for Michael Flynn too (and for that matter Donald Trump). The problem is none of them anticipated how dirty and corrupt the FBI and the Democrats really were.
So why I don't think the President should dump on Sessions as much as he does, I recognize why he does so. Flynn was loyal and fought. Stone and Manafort stayed loyal and fought back. They all suffered terrible losses doing so. Sessions basically stepped back and did not have the President's back.Sessions could have been more effective than he was.
It would have been far different if Trump has Barr from the get. Barr is a far more effective insider fighter than Sessions (you can tell by how the left hates him). At least Trump got him when he did. Barr's success shows just how weak Jeff Sessions was. Now get those indictments against the coup plotters going!
So Sessions is not going to get his Senate seat back. I am sure the Democrats will try to destroy Tommy Tuberville, but I suspect he will win in the general.
