In announcing his bid to regain his Senate seat in Alabama, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions made an honest and compelling case about his own consistent record. He marred his by-the-book, Eagle Scout persona, however, by insisting that there is no merit in the investigation of President Trump’s actions with regard to Ukraine.

It is one thing to say he hasn’t seen anything yet that convinces him impeachment is necessary. It is another thing, not intellectually honest, to do as he did and dismiss the whole thing as merely “a continuous political attack.”
