Mixed emotions. She should not be above the law. However, it needs to be over. Hopefully, Obama will pardon her and settle the whole thing.



You have to be at least charged with something, if not convicted, in order to be pardoned.

Should he pardon you for breathing?

It's a witch hunt. It's always been a witch hunt. In 1986, stopping Sessions was a test run for stopping Bork.

Interesting take on what happened in 1986:

I never had any real objections to Sessions. I think the worst thing to say about him was that he was one of the very first (perhaps the first?) Trump supporters, from the very beginning. Shows questionable judgment. Beyond that, he seems like a qualified candidate.

Trump proclaimed they would happen in his campaign. I am glad Sessions said he would not participate in any pursuance of such.

Yes, thought that was interesting. He also seemed to suggest that Hyde Amendment funds would remain available to victims of rape and sex trafficking.
