Yes Sessions did! He had to get out of the way for justice to move forward. Whitaker, as I stated when it actually happened, is a temp and is expendable so he is free from politics so to speak. Imagine how hard it was for Sessions, Goodlatte and Gowdy to walk away after cleaning things up in the DOJ (Sessions) and FBI and knowing first hand ALL the fuckary. It was a sacrifice by them all again to allow things to move forward. They know. They were briefed NOT by RR, it was Emmet Thomas Flood IV.
