It would be hard to find a member of President Trump’s cabinet who has executed his administration’s policy more faithfully than Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Sessions embraced Trump’s campaign early, when most Republican officeholders and most conservatives ran screaming from it. He went through a scathing confirmation process in which he was unfairly tarred as a racist based on vacuous claims that contradict his record. Since his swearing in, he has outspokenly voiced Trump’s policy concerns about everything from illegal immigration and urban violent crime to civil forfeiture and narcotics trafficking.
