A letter from Jeff Sessions on his record, Donald Trump and Russian investigation recusal

preview

Montgomery AdvertiserView CommentsAn open letter to the people of Alabama:I was the first to endorse President Trump, even when many thought I was nuts to do so. I helped Trump win and traveled the country with him, embedded in his&nbsp;campaign. I am one of the architects of his agenda, and I was pushing his agenda&nbsp;even before he ran for office.I have remained faithful to the president and his agenda. I have always stood up&nbsp;for him, and I never backed down, not even for one moment. My convictions are&nbsp;immovable, built on rock, not sand.As the world knows, the president disagreed with me on recusal, but I did what&nbsp;the law required me to do. I was a central figure in the campaign and was also a&nbsp;subject of and witness in the investigation and could obviously not legally be&nbsp;involved in investigating myself. If I had ignored and broken the law, the&nbsp;Democrats would have used that to severely damage the president.Some have asked, why take the job as attorney general if I knew I would have to recuse myself from the investigation? I knew no such thing. I wasn’t informed of James Comey’s secret investigation until after I became attorney general, and the investigation wasn’t publicly confirmed by the FBI until weeks after my recusal.Knowing of the president’s disagreement with my decision, I tendered my&nbsp;resignation in writing the morning after Robert Mueller was appointed as special&nbsp;counsel. But President Trump chose not to accept it, and he asked me to continue&nbsp;to serve as his attorney general and to help him “Make America Great Again.”The investigation was a disruptive and prolonged fiasco for America and&nbsp;especially for President Trump, and a massive waste of money chasing the deep-state&nbsp;myth of Russian collusion. Recently disclosed documents also reveal the&nbsp;extent of former FBI Director Comey’s underhanded efforts to undermine&nbsp;our president.One thing you may not know is that I advised from the beginning of the&nbsp;administration that Comey should be removed and the FBI given a fresh start. I&nbsp;concluded that Comey was driven by ego, lacked self-discipline, and lacked the&nbsp;judgment necessary to lead an agency as critical as the FBI, as was evidenced by&nbsp;the completely improper way he declined to prosecute Hillary Clinton.The end result of the Mueller investigation is that the president (and I) were fully&nbsp;exonerated, so much so that the subsequent Ukraine impeachment witch hunt&nbsp;did not even mention the phony Russian collusion idea.My principles, like my faith, are immovable and non-negotiable. I believe it is&nbsp;always right to do the right thing. My opponent, Tommy Tuberville, calls that&nbsp;weakness, which reveals his true lack of integrity.True strength and courage are found in the determination to do the right thing,&nbsp;even when you know the consequences may be painful. You can always count on&nbsp;me to do my best to do the right thing, for you, for the state of Alabama, and for&nbsp;the United States of America. I will never go wobbly on you.More:I believe President Trump is a great president who is steadily making progress for&nbsp;America, despite relentless opposition. My support for his agenda is not about&nbsp;me, or even about him. It’s about doing the right thing for the country I so love. I&nbsp;have given my entire life to the support of our conservative ideals and to stopping&nbsp;the radical left from their attempts to redefine, and thereby destroy, America. I&nbsp;always have, I always will.I endorsed President Trump because he had the incredible strength of will and the&nbsp;guts to stand up for the right things, for ending illegal immigration, for protecting&nbsp;American workers, and for stopping endless wars. I’m glad I did.After the president dismissed me as attorney general, I did not say a cross word&nbsp;about him, as I thought that would be dishonorable.More:The great people of Alabama support the president enthusiastically, and we also&nbsp;make our own decisions on who to send to the US Senate.This just means we are strong, and no one tells us what to do or how to vote.&nbsp;We’re Alabama, it’s just who we are. After all, it’s our vote, not Washington’s.Mr. Tuberville is an opportunist who isn’t from here. He stopped here for work&nbsp;for a while, and moved on, eventually retiring in Florida. He doesn’t know the&nbsp;first thing about Alabama. He says the president is wrong on China, says we must&nbsp;import foreign workers to take American jobs, and up until a few months ago, he&nbsp;said he favors amnesty for illegal immigrants. If you don’t like his position on an&nbsp;issue, just wait a few weeks and he will change it. His house is built on sand.Alabamians have long resisted pressure from people in Washington telling them&nbsp;how to vote. In fact, Alabama’s motto is – “We Dare Defend Our Rights.”The folks in Washington have been wrong about Alabama before, every time. We&nbsp;make our own decisions.We will vote overwhelmingly to give President Trump a second term, and we will&nbsp;choose who we send to the Senate. The people of Alabama do not have to&nbsp;choose between voting for the president and voting for me, they can do both.When I return to the Senate, I look forward to helping the president build the&nbsp;wall, protect American workers, and fundamentally reset our relationship with&nbsp;Communist China.Respectfully,Jeff SessionsJeff Sessions is in a Republican primary runoff with Tommy Tuberville&nbsp;to regain his U.S. Senate seat after leaving it to be appointed U.S. attorney general.&nbsp;View Comments
