SCOOP: The real reason for the tremendous push against Sessions coming from the White House has little to do with Russia and more to do with Jared Kushner's bail reform.

Kushner was one of the lead architects of bail reform and Sessions constantly pushed back against him. Sources inside the WH told me Kushner hated Sessions more than any other person inside Trump's WH.

Using the Russia probe, Kushner used to remind Trump of Sessions' recusal during heated moments over bail reform to ensure he would never take his side.

Sessions warned Trump (correctly) that the First Step Act would lead to dangerous criminals being freed. That's exactly what happened time and time again. https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/09/us/first-step-act-release-alleged-murder/index.html

It was Kushner that lead the charge against Sessions for his run for the Senate. But sources said the Russia investigation was just a facade for the fact that he didn't want Sessions in the Senate to push back on his Second Term agenda.

Sessions was often used as a distraction for Trump to cover up multiple people's screw ups in the WH. Often times Gen. Kelly would bring up Sessions when Nielsen was in trouble. Now Russiagate is being used for Trump to endorse the pro-amnesty Tommy Tuberville.

Just to be clear, I'm speaking of the First Step Act.
