How long does it take to get the measure of a man?

Screw all you Sessions bashers.

The ones getting screwed are the taxpayers. He's got pay dirt and he's sifting through sand.

expand on that to the extent you’re inclined.

I sowed the seed. I'll let others expand on it.

“So, would they rather Eric Holder or Janet Reno? Sheesh.”

Might just as well be...at least so far.

but there is no reason he can’t ratchet up the pressure and show he’s doing something.

Are you sure this is 'no reason' ?

“What was the nickname for Sessions when he was in AL ... ‘The Silent Executioner’?”

Now its “the recuser”.

That being said, I am still not certain.

I think most feel that way right now.

I thought that Sessions had a plan all along. Imagine how it would have been received if he had appointed a special counsel at the beginning. Duelling Banjos? If Sessions were younger and had political ambitions, I would be worried. But this is it for him. He wants to go out in a blaze of glory. For those who question his motives, remember that he was the first Senator to support Trump. Without that support, it is doubtful that Trump could stay in the race. I actually agree with McCarthy’s suggestion and believe that it is a brilliant plan. I also believe that Trey Gowdy is part of the plan. However, you are correct. Patience is a hard sell on this forum. If we are wrong, then we will gladly admit it when something actually happens. I believe that The IG is about to release his report and Gowdy knows what is in it. When released, Sessions, Gowdy and Nunes will have all of the cover that they need. As I said, it could be a brilliant plan. I hope I am right.

- Second, the boiling frog is a legend, it has never existed, even the dumbest frog knows how and when to jump out of the kettle.

Lobsters. The anecdote should have been about lobsters.

Sessions foolishly set himself in time out, let Trump down, effectively turning over the barn to Rubenstein, keys and all. Trump and most of his base paid the price for Sessions personal tribute to his conscience and were flabbergasted.

What makes you think this apparent epiphany of Sessions is his work and not that of Rubenstein?

The fact is Sessions has, for well over a year, been reduced to the club parrot, in charge of announcements. His congressional testimony was an embarrassment, briefed only by Rubenstein to speak, and turning to aides to answer. He firmly heard, saw and spoke no evil and was convinced he had seen nothing to warrant a Special Counsel for anything.

Certainly, we can hope his time out is ending, but the PRICE has been already paid and was steep. He owes us, and of course Trum, that’s for
sure.

“Sessions has been the biggest bust of all of Trump’s appointments - “

He didn’t exactly hit the deck running.

There may be a reason but I disagree with the strategy. UNLESS he has better timing and plans to beat Mueller for the election surprise.

Mueller will indict Trump right before midterms. Sessions has to combat that...if he thinks dragging this out is better then I disagree. But we shall see.
