Let us review the conundrum. A few days ago this Baker thing was out of Sessions control because it could be regarded as a Russia thing and therefore Mueller's to deal with. Trump goes ballistic on Sessions, the Senate warns off Trump and backs Sessions telling Trump he wouldn't dare ever fire Sessions. Now Sessions goes after Baker and no one can say a word. Who are they going to complain to for the ethics "violation" - Trump. He can't do a thing about it now.
Trump slipped out of their know like Houdini and has them tied in a knot and they haven't figured it out yet.
It's starting to look like it. The Swamp and the DU media got played.
