Obvious Answer:

Trump is pissed at all the covert spying on him and his team that has gone on and would like to see someone prosecuted for it.

He is particularly frustrated by his AG, Sessions, who set the wolves upon him by creating a situation that culminated with the appointment of Mueller, appears unwilling to set a similar pack of wolves upon Team Hillary/Obama.

He's so pissed about this, when he things about it, it makes him furious. Eventually lashes out on Twitter to express his *utter frustration*.

Non-Obvious Answer

All Trump's twitter posting is all fake. He's secretly working with Sessoins, and we need to Trust Sessions as we've been told by Q. And we need to trust that the poeple interpreting his cryptic messages are right and that a giant swamp draining operation is secretly underway

Trump, under this non-obvious interpretation is taking time off from arresting his enemies to tweet pretend anger at Sessions to keep his real enemies off balance.

Come on, really?

#DrainTheSwamp, #FollowTheRabbit, #TheComingStorm ... never comes.

It's possible to have a mix of those two. The process is moving at a glacial pace, and the press is a formidable foe.

I don't think Trump is in any sort of real-time loop with Sessions. Certainly not on Mueller-related material due to recusal; and in the grand scheme of things, settling the score on FISA abuse, using legal process, is pretty small potatoes. On the FISA angle, I'm of the opinion that there is no remedy at law for the FISA abuse. Congress wrote the law so as long as the FISA court endorsed an action, the perpetrator has a statutory defense for perpetrating a snooping crime. Nunes, Gowdy, Grassley and others are doing a pretty good job of sending disgrace to the actors involved; and that may be all we get, there, in the long run.

At this moment, I don't think Trump cares whether the public trusts Sessions or not, or if the public thinks Trump is unhinged, whining, whatever. This is not the "rubber meets the road" point in time.

I see this as a "build tension" phase. Tune in next week to see what happens. Meanwhile the press and the people are chattering vigorously.

You raise a lot of interesting questions, and make some good points (as you usually do), in your posts in this thread. I suspect that every person that has been following the Q posts has had the same questions from time to time (because we all have been starving to see some concrete results, along the lines promised, for a LONG time). I have no problem admitting that I do as well. A personal question that dawned on me several weeks ago was along the lines of:

How much are we all becoming willing to overlook in terms of what is going on in the details of everyday governance because we are being lulled into a sense that we "need to cut Team Trump some slack on {insert current issue} because of all of this work going on behind the scenes?"
Is this all some kind of elaborate psyop to keep his base fat and happy?

I don't have a 100% certain answer on any of this. I'm not sure that anyone does.

What I will offer is in terms of a partial answer, in that I am willing to allow more TIME to pass before I make a final judgement, one way or another.

Now that may sound like a cop-out, but I believe that some rational reasoning can support that at this point in time.

One reason is that this "Q phenomenon" has actually led to a LOT of good results already. What I mean by that is that there is a large segment of the population that is now digging into topics and subjects that they normally would never think twice about. I consider myself to be fairly "awake" and informed for about 10-15 years, and I am learning more details about topics almost daily. But the real benefit isn’t that FReepers (and those alike us) are being (additionally) ’red-pilled’ now, it is that a lot of sharp minded young people are being exposed to, and digging deeply into, these topics.

The other main reason that I see is that what we are all talking about here is a very complex, costly, dangerous, and volatile set of inter-related problems that have been taking root and festering (globally) for many, many decades now. You, like most FReepers, are very well versed in many aspects of the overall whole. That being given, it only stands to reason that any real solution to this is, by definition, going to be highly complex, costly, dangerous, and very volatile in its conception and implementation.

Trump is in month 13 of his term. Even if he (and a close set of allies) hit the ground running on this (if he indeed had been briefed on the overall problem set (for lack of a better word) years ago), 13 months is not a long time, especially considering the enormity of the “above ground” tasks and efforts that needed a LOT of attention.

I assume that Trump has trusted advisors that are guiding him on the development and implementation of a well thought out plan that will maximize the gains (i.e., most arrests, most corruption halted, most lives saved, most national wealth preserved) and minimize the costs (i.e., human lives, disruption of the civil society, global and national economic impact, military stability, to name a few).

I think that you would agree that the ‘opponent’ here is the face of evil; that is widespread, formidable, and conscience-less. Any plan that is not comprehensive, patient, and situational, would surely have the impact of tilting at a windmill from the back of a horse (with some potential worse outcomes from the blowback).

So, for these reasons I am willing to allow more TIME to pass. Personally, I would like to see some tangible results by the end of 2018. If none come, I will again re-assess. (By nature I am not a very patient person, but I find as I grow older, I am more willing to let time pass before making firm judgements.)

Now on the recent Tweet, I tend to go with what you labelled as the “Non-Obvious Answer.” But I would describe it more along the lines of him running preemptive cover against the pushback that will come from the results of the IG’s report on this topic being tainted as partisan. He is preemptively letting people know that Horowitz was an 0bama appointment, not a Trump guy. Additionally, by ‘bashing’ Sessions he is distancing himself from the AG for the same purposes.

I pinged SkyPilot to this post as I am linking in his most recent “storyboard” post as I call them. You may have already seen much of the information that it contains, but some of it may be of interest to you:

As always, I am interested in your response to this point of view.
