Jeff Sessions ...

… was Trump’s staunchest supporter – even when it wasn’t “fashionable” among his fellow Republicans.

He was Idiot Boy’s first fan, biggest fan, and loudest fan. He never passed-up a chance to praise his esteemed “pResident” and laud his brilliance.

And Trump threw him under the bus – without hesitation.

If I were a Trump “insider, advisor, confidant, close friend and/or family member”, I’d be reading the writing on the wall – in hopes it directs me to the nearest exit.

Just sayin' is all.

and he has had enough.

It would be nice if a group of them jumped ship together.

Heard the W H has been asking around, to no avail. No quality person would work for this admin.

That's how he/we ended up with Mooch as Comm. Director.

As far as I can tell Jeff Sessions is still driving the bus over at Justice, still demanding maximum sentences, still ramping up civil forfeiture and still on his crusade against the Devil Weed. As long as Sessions has a job, I'm not sure what difference it makes whether Trump says nice things about him in the Times.
For all I know the whole thing may be a coordinated strategy to make Sessions look more independent.

You forget stuff and simply act in the moment. Gets people in trouble, it does.

Trump used him. He helped get Trump elected and acted as a conduit to the Russians. The Trump had him settle that $230 Million lawsuits for 2.5 cents on the dollar. Now he can get rid of Sessions and that lawsuit settlement will be blamed on him.

No one who does business with Trump in any way every comes out on top. He is a criminal and will always look to screw everyone. When he leave office it will be found out that he and his family pilfered tens of $billions off the taxpayers for their family businesses.
