Iam going to say something nice about J. Beauregard Sessions.

[Stinky The Clown]

He had the good sense to recuse himself from the Special Counsel probe. He has wanted all his professional life to be US AG. He is a lawyer. He knows the law.

I believe he fully cooperated with Mueller because it was the right thing to do. I believe he did that to save himself (to the extent he is able). I believe he is cooperating with Mueller. I believe he is saving his own ass.

He is, in my view, not a good person. He is, in my view, a man who holds views antithetical to the country and the Constitution.

But in this specific matter, I believe he is doing the right thing.

1. Except we don't know if he's tap dancing around Mueller's questions the way he did

when he was in front of Congress. Time will tell. He does get credit for recusing himself though.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I doubt he could get away with a tap-dance in front of Mueller's people.

[hlthe2b]

2. He is a vile persn, but not a complete sociopath

and he still responds to the reptilian part of his brain that overseas his FEAR/Self-preservation responses.

[Squinch]

4. Isn't it amazing how even this minimal adherence to the laws of our land stands out

when viewed against other republicans?

[BoneyardDem]

14. and when viewed with an eye to Session's own official actions

A total racist asswipe 99% of the time...then his self preservation guides him 1% of the time.

[Squinch]

15. Yep. And he's noteworthy among them for having done something right.

[panader0]

5. His recusal, and the fire and fury it brought from trump,

is the only good thing I can see in this racist. He lied under oath in his
confirmation. Plus he hates pot smokers. I can't stand the little weasel.
Plus, he's up to his eyeballs in Russian collusion.

[fleur-de-lisa]

6. Sessions is a vile piece of crap

but he's not stupid.

I agree with your assessment, Stinky.

[GreenEyedLefty]

7. Totally agree. I think he loves being AG more than he likes DFT.

I don't think he or any other politician knew the exact depth of depravity they were in for when they cast their lot with that sleazy, grifting, real-estate dealing mob from NYC.

I think once he caught a whiff of obstruction of justice and the possibility *he* could go down for the mob family crimes, he recused himself. It's all just to save himself.

[gratuitous]

8. Cornered like a rat, and having tried everything else

AG Sessions may indeed do the proper and ethical thing. Let your focus wander for even a moment, though, and he'll be right back to criming.

[Soxfan58]

9. He knows how bad this is

And he knew Trump would have put enormous pressure on him if he hadn't recused himself. Jeopardizing his future political aspirations. So I think this selfless act of Patriotism was just Beauregard looking out for Beauregard.

[NewJeffCT]

10. Why did he repeatedly lie to Congress then?

about Russia and his contacts?

[meow2u3]

11. Recusing himself is his ONLY redeeming quality!

He did have the sense to follow the law and recuse himself instead of obeying an illegal order from the Toxic Tangerine. We have to give the devil his due.

[rsdsharp]

12. Mueller should have brought Kamala Harris into the interview room.

That would have made the evil elf Ner-vous! Just so Ner-vous!

[Puzzledtraveller]

13. in the end

we are all motivated by self preservation
