No don't think so. Sessions has been fixated on crime fighting 80's style. Assests forfeiture has been one of those tools that feel into disfavor since you can seize the asests of a person charged (not yet convicted) of a crime. I don't think he realized that it also applied to his boss as well. what Trump has been steamed for a while now is that Sessions didn't squash the investigation from the start.
