Our raging Republican paper is NOT offering unconditional support for Sessions.



The weekly rag of our small town, Republican thru and thru. Which has supported Sessions forever.

Says Sessions' recusal of helping trump is a blot on his record, and now suggests Sessions be able to
" assure" that he is as reliable to the party, if he wants this area of the state to support him.

Democrat Dough Jones won Session's congress seat when Jeff went to trump land. Got the majority vote in our county, too.
Feels like a change is gonna come.

Those reasons you listed from them are all about Sessions barely doing the right thing instead of being completely loyal to Trump over the Constitution and laws. They're angry that he didn't play along and do what Barr is doing.

But...it sending a "tut tut" message to Sessions is a change...maybe they were hedging their bets.
