Thanks. Another point about Sessions and why he did all his work in the background while appearing to be doing nothing. Having him appear weak may have been the only way to get him, or for that matter any honest person, confirmed. I think they had to convince the Dems and RINO's that Sessions was somebody who they could control before they would confirm him.
I'm just speculating here, but I think it's very possible that team Trump let slip that Sessions planned to recuse himself from the Russia investigation once confirmed and that the Deputy would be Rosenstein, who was known to be deep state. This may have been the only way to get him confirmed in the first place. Once confirmed the opposition thought they had him neutralized, and both POTUS and Sessions were happy to let them continue to believe so.
I agree (hopeful)
