Excellent point. Despite all their best efforts Including all the witetaps, the testimony released yesterday revealed that all the coup plotters really had legally in their hand was a falsified 302 against Flynn. Once that was leveraged to get Flynn fired, blood was in the water and the media went into a frenzy. Sessions should have come in and taken control of the situation as the new AG the DOJ they all worked for.
Instead, Sessions succumbed to career DOJ officials, against Trump’s requests, that ended up in the special counsel appointment which was a bonafide of the ninth degree investigation with no limits of Trump, instead of the perpetrators. Was Sessions bribed, complicit, or simply ignorant is one of the last remaining stones to overturn.
Sessions was weak. He was so wrapped in his own “honor” and conditioned like the rest of the GOPe in the Senate to kowtowing to the media. He had no spine.
He came in and all the professionals below him told him he had to recuse himself because he met the Russian Ambassador. BS. Trump said it this morning on his phone call to Fox and Friends. Everyone had met the guy, had dinner with him, etc etc. There was no reason to recuse, but he did and the soft coup, leaks, and persecution continued with Rosenstein at the helm who selected Mueller because he did not like the President and the media told him when there was NO PREDICATE crime. Nothing.
In the end, of all the bad actors and despite all the games, Sessions might be the most responsible. Remember all his promises to investigate leaks? How did that turn out? Nothing other than a slap on the wrist for the Senate staffer.
Jeff Sessions remains the biggest disappointment of the Trump administration for me. He cost Trump 2 years of his administration for NOTHING. They had NOTHING.
