I think there is fear in firing Rosenstein and others, Sessions doesn’t like big decisions, and so Rosenstein, Boyd, Wray, and others pretty much do what they want. Once Sessions recused himself, he should have resigned as he turned over the keys and gave them power to do virtually whatever they wanted.
Yeah, I think that is spot on.
Guess we could say that his recusal, and refusal to have resigned have rendered him inept.
The left-media sources I’ve listened to today (NPR, BBC, CNN, ABC) glossed over the facts and painted the memo as no big deal, and a partisan cheap-shot to discredit the noble lawman, Robert Mueller if not the entire FBI.
Now, the DOJ IG Report is due for release anytime. The IG is an Obama appointee. If the leaks are true, there is much more damning info.
As opposed to Nunes’ memo, the filth and crimes that emerge from the IG Report will stand up to charges of partisanship.
But, like you, I am disappointed with the pace of nailing these traitors. My hope is that the criminals at the top of the FBI/DOJ made good use of the rope given to them, and Sessions will let-lose with indictments once the IG’s hard evidence of their crimes is set in front of him.
