“It was Trump who signed the executive order reversing Obama’s move.”
Somehow I don’t think Trump had this scenario in mind when he did that. I believe Sessions said Boente will head any campaign related investigations. Yes Trump can fire him tomorrow but what would happen if Trump fires the person investigating any possible interference in his own election?
Trump is a political figure. Sessions is a lawyer with professional responsibilities that dictate his course of action while he is in office. We obviously didn’t watch the same press conference because I distinctly heard Sessions explain that.
