It would help if you knew what a circular argument is.

For what seems like the 100th time: if not for Sessions there would be no Mueller investigation. The Mueller investigation is the Deep State’s attempt to destroy Trump. So far it’s going well.

“The Mueller investigation is the Deep State’s attempt to destroy Trump.”

Yes, it’s one part of it. There are many fronts - some far more formidable.

“So far it’s going well.”

No, it is failing miserably - Trump is prevailing - you can’t see that because of your obsession with blaming Sessions for ruining Trump’s presidency.

“It would help if you knew what a circular argument is.”

A circular argument is a fallacious chain of logic wherin the hoped-for conclusion is used as the premise. I.e., “Leverage works because a longer lever makes it easier to lift an object.” - that could be restated as “Leverage works because leverage works.”

Your hoped-for conclusion is that Sessions ruined Trump’s presidency by allowing Mueller’s investigation - so you “prove” that by saying “If not for Sessions, Mueller’s investigation would not have ruined Trump’s presidency.” All you did was restate your hoped-for conclusion as the premise. Classic circular reasoning.

Please let me off the merry go round.
