Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, One Last Time (We Hope).

November 2018.

     After the 2018 midterm elections, President Good People on Both Sides took not days but just hours to send Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III back to Alabama.  The dream was had ended for Mr. Sessions.  It was a pleasure to see him depart; however, concern arose that his exile from the Trump archipelago represented the initiation of a purge that would endanger the Special Counsel’s investigation.  The axing of the Gollum of the South and the elevation of the sycophantic Matt Whitaker to acting attorney general led Indivisible and other activists to stage protests across the country to demand that Robert Mueller be kept in place; I attended one in front of Richmond’s federal building.  I sent a letter to The Washington Post in response to its reporting of Mr. Session’s banishment.

Here’s the article by Devlin Barrett, Matt Zapotosky, and Josh Dawsey:
