Why wouldn't Sessions offer to resign? Or did he?

[Hamlette]

I can't imagine being Sessions, loyal fan of Trump, hearing that Trump wants him out and then not calling up Don and saying "Hey, if you want me gone, I'm gone."

I can see refusing to offer a resignation if you hate your boss. If you think "I can do all the things I want to do from this position and I'm going to stay as long as I can". But if you like your boss, you offer to resign. I would.

So, I think Sessions offered to resign and Trump said "no no no" and this is all theater. God only knows why Trump or both of them think this is a good thing to do.

1. He gave up a Senate seat for a job he really wanted,

and recusing himself was the right thing to do. He may have just realized that he's working for an asshole.

3. This too, he didn't realize how big of an asshole Red Don was until now or wasn't close to all the

... collusion until now.

He seems to be missing from all the gang meetings the rest of em had.

[milestogo]

7. He did have meetings with Russian ambassador in his Senate office that he conveniently "forgot"-

2. Sessions cares more about hurting non-whites than pride because he sure in the hell isn't ...

... defending the DOJ.

It might be he sees something really fucked up about Red Don but he's in the thick of it too ... he has every reason to want the investigation not to go on.

I doubt its for love of country ... the KGOP hasn't acted in America's best interest sense ... well, a long damn time IMHO

4. Maybe Sessions assumes that he'll have a new boss soon.

He wouldn't be the first employee to watch and wait as his crazy boss self-destructs. I'll bet Sessions and Pence are having lots of quiet meetings.

5. Trump must be worried that Pence, McConnell, Ryan, and Session are planning oust him. nt

6. I have wondered whether both of them are playing

the rest of us while Sessions pushes the racist policies.

9. +1

[Hamlette]

11. That's what I think too.

If my boss was dissing me and I liked my boss I'd offer to resign out of loyalty to my boss "If me going will make your job easier, I'm outta here".

We're being played and so is the media. MSNBC spends too much time treating this as if it was something real. It's all for show

[Demsrule86]

18. I don't believe that at all ...he does want Sessions gone and will fire him if he can.

[Demtexan]

8. Maybe it is all a game.

More smoke and mirrors to keep everyone distracted.

[Demsrule86]

19. No, he wants Sessions gone and a new AG who will fire Mueller. Little Donny

is scared...what must he be hiding?

[Demtexan]

21. Yeah he is hiding something big.

Putin knows what it is.

I think it is money from Russia and something to do with underage girls.

I read an article before the election about his modeling agency.

If half the article was true Trump liked them young.

Putin would know this.

10. Sessions has more power to fuck with people than he's ever had or ever will have.

Putting black men in prison and fellating cops. It's his dream job.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

14. And getting rid of that "demon weed"

That's been a long time burr under his saddle, which is why he's devoting so many resources toward it.

Trump's DOJ gears up for crackdown on marijuana

[womanofthehills]

12. None of them are normal, so any choice make is probably unexplainable

They all want the power.

[Phoenix61]

13. Sessions isn't any different than Twitler

He's narcisstic as hell. Why would he resign? He has the job he has dreamed of his whole life. He has the ability to rollback every civil rights, affirmative action, voting rights law ever passed. Why would he quit? Loyalty is as one sided for him as it is for Twitler. They so deserve each other.

[yuiyoshida]

15. For personal reasons I hope he does...

Because if he doesn't he will go after every Legal weed state in America and burn every dispensary and weed growing operation everywhere.

[CK_John]

16. He gave up a Senate seat and he wants it make or an equal position.

[Demsrule86]

17. I hope he doesn't go...because then Drumpass fires Mueller...I wouldn't go either

Fuck Drumpt, I don't like Sessions, but he was Trumps first ally in the Senate...Trump is a complete asshat.

[GreenEyedLefty]

20. Sessions is chugging on, working on racist and xenophobic policies.

Sessions is working on the anti-immigration bullshit - right now he's undermining sanctuary cities.

It's clear that Congress and Sessions know that Trump is a weak blowhard whose blithering bluster provides a highly effective smoke screen so they can work on enriching themselves and their wealthy benefactors while screwing over everyone else.

The Senate already passed the rule against recess appointments.

Trump's usefulness is wearing out though, so if they pass an actual repeal of ACA, watch them really start turning on Trump.
