I'm pretty disappointed by this entire AG debacle. I was watching one of the Fox News "round table" programs, last evening, and moderator Jesse Watters said EXACTLY what I have been thinking, ever since this nonsense began. Watters said that in his opinion (and mine, too) the reason people get upset, is that Trump is a businessman who thinks in terms of profits and successes..........and expects the people around him, ESPECIALLY those whom he appoints, to be of like mind, and also to display a certain amount of loyalty to him.
Sessions was interviewed and then appointed by Trump, for the position of AG. I cannot believe that Sessions was not aware of the potential issues that would be forthcoming, but he accepted the job, nonetheless. Shortly thereafter, the first storm clouds appeared on the horizon, and Sessions jumps out the side door, by recusing himself from the investigation, which, in turn, opened the door for the "dog and pony show" that we're now seeing (and footing the bill for).
IMHO, Sessions didn't exactly stab Trump in the back, but he didn't act in a forthright manner, either. I'm NOT, in any way, shape, or form, suggesting that Sessions should condone any illegal activity. However, early on, many people said that there wasn't anything to take issue with, but by Sessions recusing himself, he created the opportunity for this debacle to gain momentum, and roll forward, undermining Trump.
