Sessions was a mistake, but in many ways I think Flynn was his biggest mistake. His one chance to stand up to the intelligence community and by abandoning him (thanks to Pence and Priebus and the GOPe) during the media storm he taught his opponents that they could win by simple hysteria.

I was furious on here at the time. The phrase I kept using, that I had heard from other knowledgeable conservatives, including media personalities, who had the same concerns as I did, was "blood in the water." Once there was blood in the water, more sharks start circling. You don't put blood in the water, especially so early in a Presidential term.

It was an incredibly naive, but honestly an idiotic decision. People forget who he then chose to replace Flynn.

McMaster. Tell me it wasn't ignorant now. You can't.

Good analogy. It was blood in the water.

I think Trump was taken aback and all the weak-kneed sisters around him were telling him you have to get rid of this guy.

The one guy who had promised to go “full Trump” on the bloated intel apparatus in DC was taken out by Comey and the idiots that ran the Russian collusion delusion and their media minions. One of the few who would have been loyal to Trump and he was “gone like that”. They immediately played the same game on Sessions and it was not hard..... he proved immediately that he would take instruction from the permanent bosses within DOJ.

The two entities that did the most damage to Trump until he turned his Presidency over to Fauci were DOJ and the IC and “they” (not Trump) basically got to do their thing and they attacked him non-stop.

Sessions turned out to be a fainting goat, but I had high hopes for Flynn.
