A few days ago McCain’s surgery for a blood clot didn’t pass the sniff test. We see how that turned out.
Now we have this statement by President Trump to the NYTimes of all places! This statement is very out of character & completely unnecessary. Why would he ruin Jeff Sessions reputation when he could have quietly asked for his resignation?
This appears to be a move for another different purpose and I believe Jeff Sessions loves this country enough to take one for the team if needed. Whether its a distraction or a move to draw people out we will see.
Maybe the statement is in character. I think it is, it resembles other remarks he's made about various players. I don't think the remark affects Sessions' reputation at all, or certainly not much. Trump is executing what looks like a turnaround in business. People who come and go in turnarounds aren't harmed unless they are incompetent; and I doubt Sessions has any concern at all if the world decides he is "incompetent as AG." It's not like there are many of those jobs around, and Sessions is plenty competent. He'd make more money outside the government than inside.

I wish I could see inside his head. He might take it personally, or he might have correctly assessed Trump months ago, and this outburst is inconsequential, even though it is in the nature of a public insult. Complicated business. Trump isn't the only person gifted to see what's going on.
