See #35. He folded like a cheap lawn chair from day one so a workaround had to be created. He was forced into action.
Who scared him more, The Mule/Deep State or Goodlatte and crowd?
When you're told "we're not the ones who will be going to jail when this is all said and done" who would you work with.

Again, you become President on 01/20/17 and you literally get inaugurated in the middle of a snake's pen. Your DOJ is infested with Deep State mofos.
All of what Sessions did was an act. Tell me, why would Trump nominate Sessions as his AG, then tweetstorm mean things against him, disregarding the fact that Sessions was the first Republican to endorse him and campaigned for him?
Sessions did his job perfectly. He floundered around like a fish out of water, and conservatives laughed at him while liberals started to support him. But he did his job behind the scenes. That is why he is called the Silent Executioner.
