In a farewell message to Justice Department officials, ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions reflected on his time at the DOJ and told colleagues he was proud of the work they had accomplished together.
He also listed what he considers to be the department’s goals, which he said they’d made significant headway on together: reducing violent crime, homicides, opioid use and overdose deaths. He also said the department has broken records for “violent crime, firearm and illegal immigration prosecutions.”
“I am grateful to have served with people of your caliber and may God bless you and your families in all you do,” he wrote. “Keep improving, getting better and more productive.”

So grateful that I am resigning, instead of making Trumpp fire me, so that Trumpp can bypass Senate confirmation hearings and immediately replace me with a political hack who will have the mission of turning you and your work into a political tool to protect the President and harass his enemies.
“I have had many proud moments in my distinguished career. But keeping in office a traitor to the American people who openly conspired with a hostile foreign power will by my shining achievement.”
This is the final take away. Sessons was/is an evil toadie. Filled with racist hate. His final act was to allow Trump to (Trump thought) use the vacancy Act to fill the spot.
Yet, Trump is such a fucking idiot that he can’t manage to carry out even an evil plan, rather than appointing someone who was confirmed by the senate, he put in someone who was not. In doing so, he created not just an issue with the DOJ succession law (28 U.S.C. § 508) but now a broader constitutional issue as well.
When the history is written on Trump (assuming he does not blow us all up or we are all writing in Chinese praising Xi’s great thought) the complete stupidity of his and his supporters is going to be the main take away. They were very evil, but too dumb to do as much damage as they would have done otherwise.
His time shall be named “The Dumbassocracy.”
I thought it would be putting kids in cages
