[I am still not convinced that Sessions and Trump just might be pulling a rope a dope on the establishment]
I agree. Other cabinet members and WH insiders would not have their panties in a bunch as they do if this was just a ruse by POTUS and Sessions.
If the ruse is to get the Left to defend and protect Sessions, only Trump needs to know about it.
It works better if cabinet members and WH insiders are not in on it. It gives it more credence.
Because we all know this admin leaks like sieve, between the Obama HOs(holdovers), NeverTrumpers, etc.
So if others know, it would definitely get leaked and foil the plan.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
...... between the Obama HOs(holdovers), NeverTrumpers, etc.

Excellent article on what Trump went into the office of President with (and without) and how, 6 months later, things are about to change.
Trump Fires Signal Flare: Winter is Coming – “The Big Ugly”…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/23/trump-fires-signal-flare-winter-is-coming-the-big-ugly/
Excerpt from link - whole thing is worth reading:
Anxious Trump voters have been understandably frustrated by the lack of speed with which President Trump is able to force the MAGA agenda onto an unwilling DC political apparatus. However, if you step back and look at the scope of the challenge, the situation is entirely understandable.
Donald Trump was a 100% pure political outsider, a citizen politician. There was never any underlying organizational apparatus to support victory. There was Dan, Hope, Michael and Corey; later Paul then Kellyanne and Steve. Everything else needed to be constructed from scratch and even the party apparatus didn’t support candidate Trump.
On November 9th 2016 President-elect Trump did not wake up with a staff of 50 political career employees sitting at Trump desks with Rolodexes filled with a network of affiliate political allies, personnel and associates to call upon to create the Trump administration. Consequently President Trump needed to import the entire administrative personnel architecture to support the move to the White House.
President-elect Trump approached that challenge by hiring the Chairman of the RNC, Reince Priebus to fill out the hundreds of empty chairs. Priebus brought a staff mostly from the RNC and his own network of contacts. Many of those people were not self-described deplorables, or MAGA-minded; hence, the leaking etc.
The removal of the sub-contracted agents is a natural outcome of a process of filling out the administration with people who are more in line with the totality of the policy and ideology behind it.
This is why we previously shared: in the course of time, if you followed the process to its natural conclusion, there is bound to be a confrontation between the intransigent DC administrative and permanent political class -versus- President Trump and Team MAGA. I called this predictable confrontation – “The Big Ugly”.
