Big John Kelly is a ‘star of the administration, a great guy, etc.’ That means he has about two months before Trump starts tweeting about him and playing the Sessions card on him. Pres needs to focus on getting his judges in place rather than playing musical chairs with his staff.

I expect you're right. However given what we are actually seeing play out in DC, I'm impressed all the same. :)

You may be able to diss a Sessions in public all day-long without major consequences. I just dunno.

But I’m pretty sure that when it comes to a combat-tested Marine four-star, you diss him at your own peril. He’s not likely to take it lying down, nor will his fellow Marines.

A little history moment:

Kelly was asked by a reporter for The Los Angeles Times if, considering the size of the Iraqi Army and the vast supplies of tanks, artillery and chemical weapons available to Saddam’s forces, he would ever consider defeat. Kelly’s archetypal response was “Hell these are Marines. Men like them held Guadalcanal and took Iwo Jima. Baghdad ain’t shit.”

Now compare that to the man you defend, Jeff Sessions, who recused himself from doing his job.

IF Kelly ever recuses himself from doing his job, then maybe you have a point that Trump might lash out at him.

... BUT ...

Trump went to military school. He respects the military, and particularly the marines. So perhaps we have an idea what Kelly would think of your predication and what it is worth.
