“Trump should have appointed the special counsel himself a year ago while Jeff Sessions was fluffing rosenstein and mueller. “
No. Trump should have replaced Jeff Sessions and Rosenstein over a year ago and had the new AG appoint a special counsel.
The point is he doesn’t need his AG to appoint a special counsel when he could do it himself.
Mueller, rosenweaseal and that rat bastard Jeff Sessions should’ve been fired the minute they instigated the special counsel coup against Trump but Trump was advised against it by his deep-state compromised white house counsel and threatened by his own party if he did so.
