Can someone explain what part, if any, that Sessions played in all of this...beyond picking his nose?

I think that the Deep State blackmailed Sessions and had him pinned against the wall for something he did in his past.
I think that blackmail is how WA DC is run by the insiders.
POTUS gave the special counsel to the Democrats. If he didn’t want them to have it he could have fired Mueller at any time. He wanted them to have it because it got them to focus all their hopes and schemes onto this one investigation, which he knew would ultimately go nowhere. In war, to get the enemy to attack you exactly where you want him to, you sometimes feign weakness where you really have strength.
I’m still convinced that Sessions was playing the part POTUS wanted him to play. Sessions was barely confirmed. If he had come out like gang busters you can bet the Democrats would have harassed him until he was rendered impotent, eventually either resigning due to some manufactured scandal,
or being asked by POTUS to step down before he could
accomplish anything. POTUS didn’t have the political capital to put an openly aggressive AG in office with all the deep state actors like McCabe, Page, etc. still in place and with a GOP majority that still had a large contingent of obstructionist RINOs in control.
Instead, Sessions recused himself and put the special counsel into the hands of a deep state operative, i.e. Rosenstein, who had likely made a deal with POTUS from
the beginning. If you’re going to feint, you have to make it convincing, hence all the public trashing of Sessions
by POTUS.
So POTUS gave the Dems this shiny object to play with while, with Session’s help, the real work was quietly being done behind the scenes without being noticed, e.g. IG Horowitze and John Huber. Huber was appointed by Sessions. When the time was right, (i.e. when the Justice Department ranks had been cleared of the traitors like Comey, McCabe, Strozk, Page, et al. and the Mueller, Horowitz and Huber investigations were nearing an end.) Sessions stepped down. He played his role.
POTUS played baseball. Sessions was his opener. Now that the game situation has changed and POTUS is ready to go on the offensive, he’s bringing in his closer. And the Dems are none the wiser on how it all happened.
My gut says that he was the insurance policy.
