Jeff Sessions had to be either the most credulous, stupidest AG ever, or part of the deep state coup against Trump.
At this point, seeing what he allowed to happen in the DOJ and especially given his pathetic “recusal” - there really is no other conclusion.
I blame Trump.
Trump should have fired Sessions 15 seconds after he recused.
Trump also knew that Rod Rosenstein was Obama’s go-to U.S. Attorney for 8 freaking years.
So, what did Trump do?
Trump nominated Rosenstein for Deputy AG and let him pick Mueller as Special Prosecutor.
Agreed! My conspiracy theory (And a conspiracy theory isn’t good unless it’s likely) is that Sessions just sucked up to Trump but was a deep state mole from the beginning. His job was to undermine Trump at every turn and run interference for Brennan, Comey, etc. The fact that he did NOTHING while AG to help Trump is proof enough to me!
