“Why in the Hell did he accept the job when he knew he was going to recuse himself! “
My theory has always been that the President is running a honey trap.
The original 2016 spy-gate crimes committed against Candidate Donald Trump pale by comparison to those committed since, as the deep state continues to double down in an attempt to cover up past crimes and remove him from office. And now they are not merely plotting to smear a candidate, now they are plotting to overthrow a duly elected POTUS.
If President Trump had appointed a different AG, or refused to let Sessions recuse himself, and had ordered his AG and DOJ to indict coup perpetrators in early 2017 - even if he had been wildly successful (of which there is no guarantee) - that would have only been the tip of the iceberg.
By waiting and letting the deep state continue to plot and subvert, he stands to catch far more of them, and for far more serious crimes. For three years he has been patiently drawing them into his honey trap.
I think Jeff Sessions took the fall for the appearance that “nothing was happening”, but in fact, things WERE happening all along, and it was President Trump who wanted to wait.
Friday, he told reporters “I caught the swamp. I caught them all. Watch what happens. Only I could have caught them.”
Doesn’t that sound like a hunter/tracker/trapper who has been patiently camouflaging and baiting his traps, and waiting for the right time to spring them?
