Which does not explain how RR can sign a FISA warrant and then be accepted as the head of investigations for that possible FISA warrant abuse.
***the reasons came to RR in a metting with Sessions and Trump***
Sessions appears to be supportive of RR... wouldn't stake my dinner on it, tho!
We don't know that he is even investigating FISA abuse. If he is in cahoots with FISA abuse, he would whitewash - and he does appear to be totally protective of DOJ and FBI wrongdoing.
As for being accepted, was Comey accepted as "in charge" of the Hillary e-mail investigation? He took the lead in the ultimate decision. His deputy ws overseeing who (Strzok) and how that investigation would proceed, all the while planning it as a whitewash.
Just saying, RR can be a skunk, and the institution will allow/accept it. See McCabe too, on his failure to recuse. Grasssley was all over that, for a year, and McCabe never did recuse.
-- Sessions appears to be supportive of RR... --
What else is he going to answer to a loaded question from the press? IIRC, Trump was supportive of Comey for awhile too.
