It looks to me that the Sessions-led prosecution against Albert and Evelyn Turner and Spencer Hogue was idiotic and disgraceful. I'm glad the defendants were acquitted.
Were I the POTUS, I would certainly not appoint Sessions as Attorney General.
That being said, while bigotry in high places is indeed dangerous, the US is not Germany or the USSR in the 30's. We're a long way off from death camps, gulags, and mass-graves on United States soil.
To compare Trump and Sessions to Hitler and Goebbels, as if they are guilty of the same level of atrocities, is perhaps remotely passable as an expression of indignation, fear, and outrage, but is also a huge dishonor to the millions of innocent people who suffered and died because of those abominations.
