But some Freepers insist Sessions is playing 256-D chess and is a true southern gentleman and deserves respect for his legacy.
Sessions is a worm. He should have resigned months ago for his own failures.
Sessions has recused himself from his job at a crucial time in our history. He walked away from the battlefield.
And some Freepers insist Sessions is Granny Clampett, Keebler Elf, Rip Van Sessions, Deep State Mole, etc., etc., etc....
And some Freepers admit that they don't know what is really transpiring and are willing to keep an open mind and wait and see what actually happens over time ...

No, but there are some of us who trust Trump to decide how he wants to handle this whole fake Russia collusion PR attack. He’s a big boy - he can decide who to fire, and when, without all this constant second guessing and badgering from his supposed supporters. Just let him handle it - he knows a million things we don’t know and he’s a forceful and resourceful guy when he needs to be.
And there are some of us who trust Trump to decide how and when to bring former Obama officials and other criminals to justice. There are nuances regarding the law vs. politics, and the importance of public perception. Trump knows so much that we don’t, and he’s no snowflake. Just let him do this his way on his own timetable. Let him puzzle out the best course of action and don’t pick arbitrary benchmarks and then assume he’s not doing anything when they’re not met.
And some of us trust Trump to pick his own team - and if he’s truly unhappy with someone like Jeff Sessions, then he’ll deal with it as best he can.
Trump is doing a fine job from what I can see - but unlike Obama, whose natural habitat was the DC swamp, and who the MSM fawned over, Trump and his team are not in friendly territory.
They can’t be held to the same standards regarding how fast things get done and make the evening news. If you are expecting to see a certain number of firings, indictments or people in jail by a certain date - where are you getting those benchmarks? How do you know they are right?
Speaking just for myself, I’d say it’s not about trusting Sessions or thinking Sessions is capable of 256D chess, it’s about trusting Trump and feeling good about how he’s doing on so many fronts. It’s about assuming there’s a lot I don’t know and respecting the complexity of the tangled mess he walked into - the nightmarish challenge of battling a century of corruption.
Bottom line, I think Trump and his team are more in the driver’s seat than it appears - and that the deep state is less in control than it appears. That’s my gut feeling just from looking at at the POTUS on one hand, who seems in good spirits, strong, outspoken, the same guy we elected. And on the other hand the Left - which seems increasingly desperate, disorganized and in panic mode.
With that more optimistic view, I guess I just don’t see Mueller or Rosenstien as being all that formidable - pains in the ass? Yes. Out to get Trump? Yes. But I don’t think they were ever a real threat - Trump had to let himself get investigated/cleared - otherwise “obstruction!”.
Quite frankly, the Left seems to be blowing it big league. They embarrass themselves on a daily basis by taking ridiculous stands that put them at odds with the American people. And it’s showing in the polls. It reminds me of Hillary Clinton’s weird behavior in the final months of her campaign.
I think that’s Trump’s doing - he’s overwhelming the enemy - death of a thousand cuts. Every morning a few hundred deep state bureaucrats arrive at work and find their swamp habitat a little less swampy. Every morning another couple hundred crooked lobbyists arrive on K street and can’t find who they were supposed to bribe that day. Every morning another a-hole like Chuckie Schumer, Nancy Pelosi or a RINO Ryan gets some more political bad news.
It’s happening folks, Trump is winning.
