The Russia Narrative was losing steam and they needed to create an ongoing aura of wrongdoing. Comey could not appoint a special council, Rosenstein could. Getting Comey fired would feed the “obstruction” sub-narrative of the Russia Narrative and would create the optics needed to bull through the appointment of a special council.

But first the head guy had to move out of the way... Would have been pretty messy if Sessions was the one appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Trump...

As we seem to all understand, this is an illegal investigation since there was no crime committed...Sessions is still the boss (on paper anyway)...He could have stopped this special prosecutor in his tracks...And instead gone after Comey for leaking classified inforation to the press...But he didn't...

Sessions could point out the problems with Rosenstein’s authorization. He won’t.

I had high hopes for him and he may be a good man, but he’s not the man for this job. I wish him well but he’s gotta go.
