Trump and Sessions Fiasco

When Donald Trump embraced Jeff Sessions as his Attorney General, many knowledgeable Americans were appalled at the choice for good reasons:

1. Sessions has a track record as a "modern" Southern bigot.

2. Sessions was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama beginning in 1975.

"Sessions' office filed civil rights charges in the 1981 killing of Michael Donald, a young African-American man who was murdered in Mobile, Alabama by a pair of Ku Klux Klan members.[19][20] Sessions' office did not prosecute the case, but both men were arrested and convicted.[21]"

"In 1985, Sessions prosecuted three African American community organizers in the Black Belt of Alabama, including Martin Luther King Jr.'s former aide Albert Turner, for voter fraud, alleging tampering with 14 absentee ballots. The prosecution stirred charges of selective prosecution of black voter registration. The defendants, known as the Marion Three, were acquitted of all charges by a jury after three hours of deliberation."

3. Bill Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno, asked for his resignation.

Jeff Sessions has always worked for the government, and is a plant for racism and bigotry, hiding under the guise of conservatism and religious hypocrisy. He is the symbol for what is generally wrong with Republicanism in the USA.

When Sessions recused himself from the FBI's Russian investigation, one may ask why? There are two reasons: 1) he was patently involved in the Trump campaign that would be a part of the investigation, and 2) he wanted to keep the well-paying job and prestige that he longed for. Recusal would ensure that if he could endure the pressure.
