I could be wrong but I believe that when he offered to resign, he had time to go back and run again for his old seat. Now that's closed off.

So, uh, this leak is clearly bad news. The White House put it out to force a Sessions resignation, allowing him to appoint someone non-recused and destroy the investigation.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...m=.e8cadf0e85ec Sessions is lying, Intelligence agencies know it, and are now leaking that info. I kinda finally had the "through the looking glass" experience today when I realized that Trump is now doing things so dumb that even his top people, those most loyal, are enraged and now quitting on the spot. Meanwhile everyone in this administration is getting caught lying left and right. I would classify things as Very Crazy. I don't think anyone in their most dire dreams anticipated quite this big of a clusterfuck.
