The memo is connected to Hillary, so Sessions refuses to do it.
Because of that the WH wants a Special Prosecutor.
“.......Sessions refuses to do it.....Because of that the WH wants a Special Prosecutor.”
After a year, it should be obvious that Trump does NOT want his own cabinet appointees, or even his own party, spearheading his defense against political witch hunts.
They would immediately be discredited as partisan obstructionists. Trump is making the smart play by asking them to stand down.
Trump wants special prosecutors doing the investigations because they are seen by the public as being nonpartisan, and therefore only they can vindicate him.
Each time a member of his cabinet or a GOP committee chair appears to be in a position to derail Mueller’s investigation, they wind up saying something SUPPORTIVE instead. Why? Because Trump wants it that way.
I think it’s funny how many Trump supporters here on FR are confused by this. If there’s something Trump really wants Sessions to be doing, I guarantee Sessions is busy doing it. If Trump wanted Sessions, Trey Gowdy or any of these GOP committee chairs to try and derail Mueller’s investigation, I guarantee they would have done it by now.
The best way to get this witch hunt behind us is to let Mueller complete his investigation - come up empty-handed, and move on.
The best way to dig into this FBI scandal is to get bipartisan support to appoint a special investigator/prosecutor/whatever. If it’s not seen as “bipartisan” it will go nowhere - it will be dismissed as Republican’s out for revenge.
