Except that the problem is that Jeff Sessions has turned over the Justice Department to Rosenstein, Mueller and Comey.
Because the Special Counsel supported by the DOJ has boxed in the president, this triumvirate is in effective control.
Trump has been told that anything that Mueller can portray as Trump becoming involved in the Russia/Trump, obstruction, Manafort/Ukraine, etc matters will be taken by Mueller as grist for further investigation of Trump.
So if Trump personally gets involved in directing that something on these topics must be unredacted and made public, Mueller will say that investigations must be secret to be effective and Trump is trying to obstruct him.
The scope of Sessions' recusal is breathtaking. As I understand it, he has recused himself from anything to do with Russia, anything to do with the Trump campaign or anyone connected to it, anything to with Hillary's campaign or anyone connected to it.
I heard him tell Maria Bartiromo not long ago that he is recused from a number of the leak investigations, presumably because the underlying leak may somehow touch on one of these topics.
He appears to be recused from supervising the redaction process, again presumably because the material redacted may somehow touch on one of these topics.
But he recused himself far too prematurely, before there was a specific, real, legitimately-predicated criminal investigation to evaluate for a conflict of interest with him.
This has allowed the Triumvirate to commence meritless investigations for political purposes clear of any resistance from Sessions.
Congress can start impeaching Session for refusing to submit to proper Congressional over-site. Trump can then fire Session for gross dereliction of duty. The new AG can then demand a review of Rosenstine’s and Muller’s actions and fire both for grotesquely exceeding their authority.
NO body is above the law. Not Session, not Muller not Rosenstine. It time the Rule of Law be re-imposed on DOJ.
Nice summary of one of the most colossal blunders in American political history.
Simple Problem - Simple Solution
First, Trump can issue a blanket pardon to all persons caught in the web of the bogus Russia Investigation.
Adios, Obstruction of Justice.
Second, Trump can order the Special Prosecutor (or Rosenstein) to declassify and publicly release 100% of the evidence.
Let the Court of Public Opinion evaluate the evidence.
