When something interesting is at the forefront, we naturally focus on that to the exclusion of everything else. The press has done that with incessant "Russia Russia Russia" and "obstruction." But that set of issues is not the only thing going on, and in the scheme of things, my sense it is relatively "unimportant."
I think it is "unimportant" (not the best word for the notion I have in mind) because Trump is positioned to win that battle. His defensive forces have positioned very well around the perpetrators of the Hillary exoneration and framing of Trump. Those perps include the press. Those issues are a big deal, so important in the usual sense, but since Trump is positioned to come out on top, he can work on other things.
Sessions has been working without interference. He's done quite a bit. Just because the public is unaware of what he and the DOJ have done doesn't mean nothing is going on. Obama's Lynch placed reams of dirty practice and policy in place. Not all of it was the false framing of Trump.
Obviously if Trump failed to dispel the false framing (or the correlated false obstruction charge) he would be toast, and what I characterize as "relatively unimportant" is converted to existential threat.
Either way (the false framing is dispelled by sunlight, or the false framing persists by the same tool that created it, secrecy), I don't see Sessions as a necessary or even beneficial warrior against the false framing. Other warriors are well capable of dispatching the enemy on that front.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I too am optimistic about the direction of government, for the first time in probably 20 years, maybe ever!
When I see trusted people like Congressman Steve King telling us to be patient, I listen.
