If he really the twitter comments from earlier expressing upset at there being no prosecution of Hillary, the President himself openly called for that so that is an absurd criticism...if he meant that and it wasn’t a ruse with another meaning.
However, when Sessions recused himself he should have appointed a special counsel himself setting narrow and specific parameters of what would be investigated. Now he can’t intervene to stop the mission creep because of the recusal and not appointing the counsel beforehand.
Could someone please explain to me why Sessions didn’t tell Trump that he was going to recuse himself.
Lynch and Holder wouldn’t sneeze without asking Obama if it was OK to do so.
#2. You hit the nail on the head. Sessions gave up his authority before he even began to exercise it.
I told a friend that it was like the commander of an army, upon arriving at the future battlefield, said that he didn’t like the looks of it and left, leaving his second in command to prepare for battle.
In this case, the second in command is Rosenstine, who may be a good DA but not up to this particular battle.
Sessions should have acted like Grant, be out front at the preparations for a battle and overseeing it, but letting his field commanders perform their duties as they are trained for (or be removed like McClellan was after Bull Run 1 & II).
This is a battle to the death with the embedded Obamites and disrupters of the Deep State. No time for faint hearts and absentee commanders.
AG Sessions, a good man, has to understand that this is no longer the Marquis De Queensberry rules arena. It is a winner take all, take no prisoners, and use iron fists instead of steely words.
Good luck to him and to our country.
Time to clean the swamp with dynamite.
