No matter what the prevailing optics, the press will spin any legal action against their side as unconstitutional, unjustified, etc.
If Trump and Sessions are friends, they have colluded and weaponized the law for political purposes. If Trump and Sessions are at odds, it is Sessions trying to curry favor and save his job.
My point is that the prevailing optics of the Trump/Sessions relationship aren't relevant. sessions is on the right track. Follow established procedures and norms (throwback to the law), and let the system do its thing.
Another battlefront is to discredit the press. That is ongoing and will never end.
Save his job or maybe his life?
No question about the spinning and the stuck piggedness about all actions challenging the conservative perspectives and actions in the media.
You make some very good points.
