in the breitbart wing of the republican party, sessions is, for nearly a decade, the hero, and if you take out the hero from the cabinet, you ll have perhaps a political cost. fascinating. the wall street journal s editorial board writes about trump s session s abuse. mr. trump s suggestion that his the attorney general prosecuted his defeated opponent is the kind of crude political. mr. sessions had no way of knowing when he accepted the a.g. job that the russian probe would become the fire storm it has or that his belated memory of brief public meetings with the russian ambassador in 2016 would require his recusal from supervising the probe. he was right to step back once facts were out. not the least to shelter the trump administration from any suspicion of a politicized investigation.
