Finally someone points out the obvious. Sessions is just a cover for Trump. So, the real question is: why doesn't Trump want to prosecute members of the prior administration?

To answer that question, you need to think strategically. First and foremost is Nov 2018. Trump needs a clean sweep to deliver a knock out punch. If he can accomplish that, the resulting legislative action will represent a cultural turning point lasting generations.

I mean, forget Ocare repeal, tax reform and the wall; those will all be dunk shots. Rather, we're talking stacking the SC to the point that RvW might be overturned; reform of the court system including some impeachments, national concealed carry; maybe even term limits.

Now, if that's your goal, how do you accomplish it? Well, you need to take stock of your assets. How far left can you move without pissing off your core support? Will anyone actually *not* vote Trump candidates if he doesn't prosecute? That's his calculus.

It sucks that criminals get to go free. OTOH, if you're an astute member of the prog-libs, you probably understand exactly what Trump is doing. He is using them strategically - you almost have to wonder if they secretly wish their Kenyan imposter *would* be prosecuted knowing the fallout that would resist.

The opposing analysis considers prosecution. This would provide a LOT of ammunition for the left, especially since they control the MSM. Does anyone want to see 24/7 screaming headlines about political persecution/prisoners? You think the cry of nazi is loud right now? No - so why give them that hammer?

I think that nails it. It’s the entire reason he was willing to let Hillary slide after the election - he didn’t want the next four years to focus on putting the Witch in jail instead of making America great again. Now? Who knows. He did sound angry a couple of months ago when he complained that Sessions wasn’t doing squat against Hillary.
