Interesting take from NYT and a tl,dr synopsis from WaPo on Sessions FUBAR'd voting fraud case in Alabama Black belt counties that is still giving him grief. Sounds like a mess and one he probably should have deferred on. Sessions weak case and his heavy handed tactics brought this on himself.

Sessions is far and away the worst appointee by Trump.
Awful, awful choice.
I like most of his other picks FWIW.

I heard Sessions also messed up an art project when he was in high school.
How far back are we going to go to determine he isn't fit for the job? Is 30+ years long enough to learn from mistakes? Asking for a friend...

Nice, how about you post an article from the Onion and The National Enquirer also to support this bullshite.

Funny thing about this is it was a damned if you do, damned if you don't case.
He originally left the case alone even though an all black "State grand jury" found it contained sufficient evidence for indictment. The aggrieved parties were also black as were the defendants.
After a further FBI investigation, and the FBI found evidence of voter fraud he pursued it.
Now after losing the case and because the defendants were black they use him prosecuting the case against him.
As I said before, a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't

the case involved one black candidate accusing another black candidate of voter fraud in a predominantly black area of rural Alabama. On the night in question, the candidate and other family members were observed mailing hundreds of absentee ballots. Spin it however you want it, but I guarantee you that if this were observed in this day and age, people would flip the frick out and accuse the candidate of voter fraud and investigations would follow. Can you image the shite storm on election night if Trump and Don Jr were seen mailing hundreds or thousands of absentee ballots? Hell, it could even be your local mayoral race and people would flip out and call for investigations and prosecutions. So to act like this proves Sessions is a racist is really weak.

FWIW Voter fraud exists... I saw it first hand in Wilkinson County MS. They still have a corrupt sheriff because of massive voter fraud. It hurts everyone.

Let's be clear on this: black activists changed the votes of blacks and that's what the case was about. I'm sorry but you don't get to be a Civil Rights hero by falsifying votes, regardless of surrounding framework.

quote:
Perry County, one of the smallest Alabama counties with a population of 15,000, had more absentee ballots filed than Jefferson County, population 700,000, according to a local news article. Investigators interviewed witnesses who said their ballots were changed and observed a post office where Turner and other activists dropped off ballots. They tracked the ballots and found about 75 out of 700 had been changed,
quote:
Some black voters testified that they didn’t authorize any changes to their ballots. But others, who had told the FBI that their ballots were changed without approval, changed their testimony during the trial. Some could not identify ballots as their own because they couldn’t read or write.
Doesn't sound like the case was bullshite just because they lost.

All he has to do is claim that he evolved....you know, that's the standard answers from Robert Byrd and Hillary Clinton. Remember when Obama evolved on gay marriage?
The democrats invented that game...kind of like how they put the nuclear option into play.
