Yet somehow Sessions amassed a net worth on $20 million, all while raising a family and working for the govt. I’m sure he never did any insider trading or shady deals because we all know that everyone in the US making a $150k a year does the same thing and is worth $15-$20 million. rolleyes
They do it through their campaigns. Put the family on the payroll of the campaign and pay them big salaries for doing nothing. Then they use inside knowledge to invest that money.

But I agree with Bustinbeards that Sessions was as clean as anyone in Washington, its just that nobody is totally clean. He was the most reliable conservative vote in congress during his tenure.
