Yes, he absolutely can do that, just like he can fire Sessions, Rod Frankenstein, etc. Yet he doesn’t. Why?
It’s anyone guess. We know he is an amazing strategist, and thinks long-term. I’ve got to believe that he has thought out all strategies and their political ramifications, and is doing what he thinks is best at this time.
Notice he is beginning to say, multiple times, how important the midterm elections are. I truly believe November will be a turning point, one way or the other. I just pray it turns OUR way so DJT can really be unleashed!
Trump is leaning hard on Mexico.
They have much to lose.
If he continues to let Mitch and Ryan control the candidates then we are doomed. When has the Democrat leadership ever campaigned against a Democratic candidate? When has a Democratic AG ever investigated a democratic leader? Sessions laid down and rolled over on the Menendez prosecution as well as Lerner.
