If the press can be trusted--and the White House is the first to tell
us they can't--but if the press can be trusted,
in a Washington Post article of January 31, 2017, we see a very clear
working relationship that extends beyond the would-be Attorney General
Jeff Sessions and the new President Donald Trump but includes a former
key staffer for Senator Sessions, Steve Miller, and a man named Steve
Bannon, who is with Breitbart News and is now a political inspiration
to the Trump White House. It appears that they have a very close
working relationship among them. That in and of itself is not
troubling, except when you look at the issues they have worked on
closely together--the issue of immigration, the Executive orders, of
which the Post said Senator Sessions was the ``intellectual
godfather.'' That is a clear example pointed out by this article, and
that is one of the reasons it was raised by Senator Feinstein. I understand what Senator Graham has to say: that Senator Sessions
has been nothing more than a Senator loyal to his home State of Alabama
in his politics and in his views on issues. I do acknowledge that and
can tell you that, over 20 years, I have heard Senator Sessions's
speeches repeatedly, and he does take those positions.
