Oh boy, have the wounds healed? According to multiple media reports former Attorney General Jeff Sessions is poised to run for his longtime Senate seat in Alabama. He would be challenging Senator Doug Jones who is considered the most vulnerable Democrat in the Senate.
Mr. Sessions was generally disappointing during his tenure as AG; driven primarily by his recusal from all issues around the 2016 campaign, including the Mueller investigation. President Trump requested his resignation the day after the mid-terms, and President Trump stated giving Jeff Sessions the AG job was the biggest mistake of his presidency.
On the upside, Sessions was a good Senator and dependably strong on immigration and

Mark my words. If Sessions gets elected he will not just be a thorn in PDJT’s side. He will be a sword. Worse than Mitt, worse than McCain or Collins.

Sessions was probably my favorite Senator in 2015-2016.....
But no, Not now. Time for him to retire and enjoy his grandchildren....
Or something.

Sessions is a GOOD guy! He purposefully recused himself to work behind the scenes!
He hired Durham and Horowitz!
Go Jeff!

Is this to be welcomed or not? Aside from Roy Moore is anyone else in the mix? Need to hear from Alabama posters.

Sessions may have been miscast as AG but what does it say that HE was the one who only had the job due to Trump’s kindness. I suspect PDJT knew he would not really help drain the swamp. Trump knew that these long time swamp critters are going to protect their buddies. I am sad to see this because Sessions failed Trump publicly and terribly. I hope Alabama voters resist the ole recycle system.

How do you catch top bureaucrats engaged in a plot against a leader? After all, overthrowing governments by clandestine means is the CIAs job. Catching people by luring them into various legal traps is the FBI's specialty. How do you catch savvy covert operators?
I have wondered for a couple years if Sessions perceived passivity was a trap. If Sessions had started his tenure acting like Barr, would any evidence of the planned coup still exist or would everything have been shredded or bleached? Could he have been feigning helplessness while Horowitz and Huber collected evidence and passed it to Durham? If they obtained warrants and have ongoing surveillance of the various plotters. And if Trump's jabs at Session were intended to sell the ruse. The plotters, feeling safe with good ole do nothing Jeff as AG could continue their work to eliminate that dummy Trump. Now with the impeachment inquiry vote the democrats are all in on anti-Trump chicanery.
If this was planned and the investigators have the evidence of a deep state coup attempt, it is now a great time to spring the trap. The opening of the 2020 election campaign. If it were to turn out that the democrats have been lured into the equivalent of a making cavalry charge into a perceived vulnerability in enemy lines only to find themselves trapped in a valley lined with enemy artillery, I doubt Sessions would even need to campaign.
It would be really nice if the Republicans would impress me for a change.

Hope he doesn't recuse himself again to avoid false "conflict of interests".

Not my first choice, but he was a good senator before.
And a box of rocks would be a better senator than what they have now in Dufus Jones!!!!!!

He should voluntarily subject himself to a neuropsychiatric examination to rule out dementia.

Like Biden running and wishing for and not getting an Obama endorsement...Sessions will run for senate and beg Trump for his endorsement.
Don't do it President Trump. We already have one big problem child with Romney.

This is a puzzle, what is going on here? Why does this aged fellow want back in? I hope the good folk of Alabama will ask him some serious questions. Has another R thrown his hat in the race or is he unopposed? I used to like Sessions, but his strange non performance as A G caused much discussion and angst, and left a bitter taste. US politics are so twisted and deceptive, tainted with communistic ideology and dubious money, it is hard to give one's trust readily any more, though I do trust PDJT.

#9, I have been thinking the same things for a while. Even when the media portrayed Sessions as an idiot and Trump as the Hatemeister, I watched their body language and uncontrolled facial expressions. Interesting.
I don’t think we know the full story (and we may never know). But General/Senator Sessions as a McCain or Delecto is dope smokers smoke.
(Tommy Tuberville is sending out campaign letters and I could consider him, I’ll do some more investigating into the story behind Sessions potential run. But at the moment, I would vote for him in a heartbeat.)

My gawd, man, you're about to turn 73 years old. Isn't it time to pass the torch to someone younger and fresher? Enjoy your retirement!
