Sad news, Sessions was a good man. He will be missed. Hell, if Slick Willy fired him, you know he had to be a faithful patriot.

Former FBI head William S. Sessions, the Texas judge appointed to the job by President Ronald Reagan and fired by President Bill Clinton six years later, died Friday at age 90.

Sessions died of a congestive heart ailment at his son’s San Antonio, Texas, home, daughter Sara Sessions Naughton said.

The longtime Justice Department lawyer and federal judge became FBI director in 1987. He gave the bureau’s technology a system-wide update, modernized its fingerprint files, diversified a workforce that had been dominated by white men, and improved relations with Congress.

After serving under two Republican presidents, Reagan and George H.W. Bush, he ran afoul of Clinton shortly after the Democrat came to office.

When a Justice Department report accused Sessions of misusing the bureau’s official limousine and helicopter for personal trips and ordered him to pay back taxes for the travel, Clinton fired him in 1993.

I was at the FBI Academy at that time and would eat breakfast at Hogans Alley. Often Director Sessions would come in dressed in slacks and a sport shirt, pull up a chair and eat with us. Just a regular down home guy.
