There has been speculation since Sessions took office that he has been playing a game of 'slight of hand'.
This post suggests to me Sessions apparent lack of action on significant events and attention to insignificant events may have been a ruse.
I agree with your interpretation on the Sessions post. He could be like the Tortoise vs the Hare, just keeping his head down and quietly pushing forward with the investigations. Would explain why he has survived all of the calls for his scalp. If this is the case, it is a miracle that none of it has leaked.

I’m skeptical, but if it does turn he was playing possum, then everyone owes a big “thank you” to the Sessions bashers here for helping maintain the facade.
