Pardon my cynicism but playing defense is a losing strategy, one that fits perfectly with the Rats strategy to dump Trump.
Sessions is a deep state plant. Once Trump is credibly accused of a serious crime, Sessions will ignore Trump’s belated orders to get Clinton, as will most of the Justice Dept leadership. If Trump then fires Sessions, Rosenstein will also ignore Trump, even as Congress refuses to consider another Trump AG. Trump is helpless without the Justice Dept.
Trump made 2 serious mistakes upon taking office: He put a deep state politician in charge of Justice, someone who is loathe to prosecute one of their own (for fear of collateral damage), & he failed to insist that Justice go after Clinton & company on Day One. When you have the enemy by the throat, never let go until they are dead, dead, dead.
Trump was feeling both over-confident & generous after the 2016 win. It may well cost him his presidency.
In the last 20 months of the Trump presidency, does anybody see any evidence the JD is seriously going after Clinton & Co.? I don’t. Even with mountains of evidence against Clinton & a host of Rat operatives, there has been virtually nothing. Obviously, no one in the JD leadership is interested in pursuing Clinton & the Rats. Why then would anyone expect that to change the minute the Trump presidency is threatened?
Scott Adams believes in the Tooth Fairy.
There is great fear in Washington that HRC has the dirt on almost everyone of any consequence in that city. They fear that not only will crooks & perverts lose their jobs, but that the government may well collapse if she opens her veritable Pandora’s Box.
This is THE reason Clinton will never be prosecuted.
Trump has the sole authority to fire Sessions whenever he wants. Congress doesn’t get a vote in it and has no legal recourse. Scotus, Myers v US.
If the Senate refuses to approve whomever Trump nominates for AG, Trump can appoint someone for 210 days, Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998. If the Senate goes into recess he can make a recess appointment.
The one guy in all of this who has never once asked for Sessions to resign, and has never said “I’d fire Sessions except...” is Donald Trump.
