POTUS chose to stay uninvolved and let Sessions show what he could do. He was advised to stay out of it.
But now Sessions has shown that he’s just a ‘talker’. Sessions says there are things he can’t talk about. Fine, but that doesn’t mean he can’t exhibit leadership by holding press interviews to explain why he’s not after Rosenstein to get the papers to Congress or why he’s not firing Bruce Ohr and revoking his security clearance.
There’s a lot that Sessions can do that he’s not doing.
To find a historical parallel in American history we need only read about Lincoln’s McClellan.
General George B. McClellan was put in command of the Union Army. He spent two years ‘training’ his troops with barely a plan to fight. He was fired because he was in favor of a truce with the South which was the reason he would not fight.
Ulysses S. Grant was the polar opposite of McClellan. Lincoln said of Grant “I can’t spare this man, he fights!” That was a direct jab at McClellan.
POTUS today needs a U.S. Grant as AG.
when sessions says he won’t let politics enter into the DOJ, he means he won’t indict Hillary clinton or Obama.
