What makes you think this apparent epiphany of Sessions is his work and not that of Rubenstein?
RitaOK, do you realize which president nominated Rod Rosenstein to be Deputy Attorney General?
Hint: It was announced on January 31, 2017. At that time, Rosenstein was serving in his 12th year as United States Attorney for the District of Maryland.
Do you realize that Rosenstein was “in line” for that position within the Justice Department at the time of that appointment by the president, and that Rosenstein testified before the House Committee that he would recuse himself should he become a subject in Mueller’s investigation, as related to his role in terminating Comey, and, in that event that the Deputy AG position would then fall to the next “in line” at Justice, (who promptly retired herself).
All this to say that the Rosenstein appointment, by Trump, was perfunctory, as a matter of course, at the time. Two weeks after his appointment, Rosenstein set Mueller loose on the president and his staff and family and business on the pre-text for collusion with Russia.
Rosenstein testified that his motivation, for appointing an SC, Mueller, was due to “public interest”.
Funny, then Rosenstein has a no-name minion at Justice recently reply to Congress, who was still appealing for a Special Counsel into Hillary and the dossier, to say to the Committee that the JD declined the appeal for an SP, due to “LACK of public interest”.
So, now, what changed? Two weeks later Sessions announces that “we” will consider the appeal.
Here’s what I will give you. If the above is on the record with the Intel Committee, and it is, then it’s possible that Sessions, belatedly, and finally, at last, might, M I G H T, have turned some wheels on his own volition, even unbeknownst to Rosenstein.
I can’t tell yet, for sure, since Rosenstein may have done so, himself, and simply let Sleepy make the announcement. That was the usual MO for Sessions role at JD. Speak when he was told to speak, and to say what he was told to say in hearings, both examples of Rosenstein directing Sessions.
