Maybe I'm just over-sensitive to heads of the judiciary prejudging cases and appearing to root for a certain outcome that is devastating for a political opponent.
Paint them as a bunch of thugs, and the trenches get deeper than necessary, people start believing in conspiracies etc... an AG needs to know better.
But maybe these times are simply gone.

Like I said, I agree he should not have joined in. Just don't see it as a big deal.

I get that, but still ...

Certainly the AG should be held to the higher standard, but I don't see this situation being something that should concern anyone UNLESS Hillary is soon to be indicted. In which case, Sessions should recuse himself because of this situation.

I don't blame you. I feel the same way whenever I have to defend Trump.
