Sessions to Bannon in 2016: If Trump doesn't win, "its all over for me"

Steve Bannon convinced Sessions to endorse Trump — despite fears it would kill his career



“Trump is a great advocate for our ideas,” Sessions explained to Bannon back in February 2016. “But can he win?”

“100%,” Bannon replied. “If he can stick to your message and personify this stuff, there’s not a doubt in my mind.”

Bannon then told Sessions that it was a critical time for him to publicly endorse Trump, as it would give him much needed credibility from a figure conservative voters trusted on the issues.

“It’s do or die,” Bannon told him.

Sessions then agreed to make the endorsement — but pointedly said that if Trump couldn’t win the presidency, “it’s all over for me.”

Hate is what they do, it is their goal, hobby and agenda.

I sure hope I am not the only one getting real angry


I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve

"let Mueller and the justice system do their work, these guys are the A team of lawyers, Trump and his admin are dumb-asses, justice will PREVAIL!"

During any other time in our history, this would be correct.

The GOP will never impeach trump, NO MATTER the evidence. The justice dept will NEVER indict anybody in the administration, NO MATTER the evidence.

Now, if a State ATty from say NY has enough on them, great, otherwise NOTHING.

NOw I say this because A. I am very angry and very discouraged and B. I am trying to make a POINT that NONE of this had to happen, that if people had just v _ t _ d last y _ a _ (I am not allowed to say it so I have to hint at it) we would not have any of this.

BTW, same folks, threatening to do it AGAIN 2018
