By dancing the minuette I meant “we can’t go after criminals because the other side would say it’s a political witch hunt”.
I know what you meant - and I do get your point if you are saying we shouldn’t avoid confrontation out of fear of what people will say.
I agree with that. We need to fight for what we believe in, not to be popular.
I’m slicing the orange a different way - my point was that stating one’s principles openly and directly, and charging down the middle is a good way to get caught in an ambush.
Trump supporters want blood, they want to see some criminals get locked up. I do too, and I’m sure Trump does. But the enemy also knows this. They would like to use this knowledge to provoke Trump to anger in hopes he will do something that would work to their advantage.
I’m pretty sure that “something” they are trying to provoke him into is the firing of Mueller and gang. They think that after firing Comey, if they can bait him into firing Meuller too, they will be able to make the case with the public that he is in fact obstructing the investigation.
Trump is way too smart to fall for such an obvious trap. So he won’t charge headlong into battle - instead he’ll work some strategy of his own. That doesn’t mean he’s dancing the minuet - or playing by Queensbury rules. Far from it...
He always winds up holding all the cards - probably springing a trap on them as we speak. There was something funny about this supposed rift between Trump and Sessions - probably part of a set up or a honey pot strategy.
