I have a strong suspicion that the current kerfuffle between President Trump and Jeff Sessions is part of a strategy, not merely – as the left has it – a rogue president shockingly, immaturely, and inappropriately attacking his attorney general on Twitter.
By now, you have probably seen the tweet in question:
Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 28, 2018 Occam's Razor suggests that the president means it and that he really wants DOJ prosecutors charged with going after Comey and is genuinely angry at Sessions. But I always see Donald Trump as a master of the video narrative, an expert crafter of story arcs that work to his advantage, and which often lure his opponents into positions that redound to his benefit once all the facts and drama have played themselves out before the nation's eyes. Never forget that Donald Trump is the most successful reality television producer in the history of the medium. And never forget that he played the media like a Stradivarius violin during the campaign, exploiting their predictable outrage.

thanks, I did - sometimes search is off.
okay thanks.
A nice hat tip to LS!
“Jeff Sessions? Hell I couldn’t get anything out of that guy, was about ready to fire him - and look what happens! He brings in this report that says half the government deserves to be locked up! I guess he was doing his job after all!”
(nod nod wink wink)
“This article was already posted. You should do a search before posting.”
and you could have posted a link, perhaps?
What's the point? Dupes are usually deleted.
And you can do a search on the title to find it.
Instead of ridiculing him how about firing him. When you don’t meet your responsibilities ridiculing your subordinate is a ridiculous, unprofessional, spineless way to try to get rid of him. be a man and fire the bastard.
Sometimes, the only version of an article I see is the second post. If it wasn’t for the second post, I would have missed it altogether.
Also, often the comments go in a completely different direction on the second post providing unique insights missing from the first one.
So, what’s the problem with a second post?
I believe it's against the rules.
And probably for good reason. Imagine if there were many people who posted dupes. There were many dupes to scroll through.
Although I’ve been on and off FR all day, I just moments ago saw this article for the first time over at American Thinker
DEVELOPING: US Judge Anne C. Conway and US Judge Raymond J. Dearie among the 4 FISA court judges who rubber-stamped illegal FISA surveillance warrants signed by Comey, McCabe and Yates to spy on Trump campaign

So sick of you Sessions bashers. Can't wait til he serves all of your asses crow.
“thanks, I did - sometimes search is off.”
Sometimes the searcher is off.
If it were already posted, I would not have known that since I would not have seen it. Do you spend all your hapless hours glued to FR?
Names at last... Comey, McCabe and little Sally Yates. Next we may hear of the screwy application itself. Thanks for posting.
