I do think that Sessions was quickly convinced by the Deep State (early on, but exactly when is not clear) that he better stay out of it. I have no doubt that the Deep State uses ALL of the resources at its disposal to intimidate, if not blackmail, people into cooperating with them. This probably goes on a lot in DC, which is inhabited by ambitious and greedy people who are willing to put whatever principles they may have once had on the shelf if it means advancing their career in the Swamp. So they are easy to convince.
As far as Trump’s hiring brilliance is concerned I would disagree with you on that. He has hired some real duds. Tillerson comes immediately to mind but he’s not the only one. That said, I greatly admire Trump’s fighting spirit and drive to serve the people instead of moneyied interests and the Deep State. His daily battles with the media are a nice bonus.
I donated quite a bit to his campaign. I never imagined the “payoff” would be as good as it has been.
Wait a minute. SO you take a chance on someone, and in fact, Tillerson delivered in getting Trump into Saudi Arabia. First place he visited. As soon as Trump got word that the guy was disloyal he dumps him.
I think he wanted to dump Sessions day one, but he had no support for that.
It’s one thing to hire, it’s harder to fire.
