I have to agree with you about the DARE program. That is not one of the things Sessions has done that I am particularly impressed with, nor the asset forfeiture. I just wonder if that publicity is also to camouflage some of the other ongoing actions or preparations.
You are also right, Trump has a lot of ongoing battles and is taking lots of abuse which would fell a lesser man. I don’t think that Jeff Sessions is responsible for any of it and I think President Trump is holding his own, albeit a bit frustrated.
President Trump is going to be trying some new tactics. Just as he has stopped having press conferences on camera for several weeks he is starting to rein in the Senate. After his amazing foreign trips its clear he has immense self control and master level strategy skills.
This press conference was in many ways inept on the surface; it seemed to be the caricature Trump his enemies suggest, shallow, petty, peevish and the choice of the NYTimes??? There’s a plan afoot and President Trump got an especial pleasure using the NYT to set the trap.
The first is a timeline waypoint in relation to "muh Russia"
And very early in Trump's tenure, he fired then-acting attorney general Sally Yates [January 30], a holdover from the Obama administration while Sessions wasn't yet confirmed. At that point, the scope of the Russia investigation and its focus on the Trump team wasn't well known ...
The second involves the supposed reason for Sessions' to recuse.
Sessions wouldn't have even known there was reason to recuse himself when he was nominated, given his recusal had to do with his failure to report contacts with Russia's ambassador during the ensuing confirmation process.
Don’t forget that Trump had admitted something important to Rush ...
Trump had expected the vitriol to die down after he won.
That’s key in understanding this turnabout. They went after Trump’s son just a short time ago.
Trump’s had it with being Mr. Nice Guy.
