There was definitely some miscommunication on the team. Just hours before Sessions recused himself, Trump said he didn’t need to recuse himself. Doesn’t make sense does it? And let’s not kid ourselves...Team Trump has taken some pretty good hits..Flynn, Sessions, nominees backing off, etc.
Something bothered me about Session’s news conference..he didn’t look very sure of himself...I expected him to come out with some authority, but he really seemed on the defensive.
Another thing...I’d know that Team Trump turned the issue around on Obama by overriding his EO to slide Eric Holder’s buddy into the slot...but why didn’t Sessions just wait for his deputy AG to be confirmed, then recuse himself. Or for that matter, just announce you recusing yourself when the Deputy AG is confirmed. I don’t see anything wrong or illegal in that. Who cares if the Dems and Rino’s scream bloody murder...with everything else being thrown at them ...who cares???
I believe it’s true that Trump flipped out over this ... after all he just said Sessions shouldn’t recuse himself and gets off the plane to hear just the opposite...what does that show about communication in the WH....I’d be mad as hell!!!
Everything can’t be explained away by saying it’s 3 dimensional chess...this was a mistake and a bad one regardless if they trust the acting Deputy.
The mistake was Sessions jumping the gun before talking to Trump.
