(snip) --- On March 2, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from “any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States.” Everyone forgot the line that followed: “This announcement should not be interpreted as confirmation of the existence of any investigation or suggestive of the scope of any such investigation,” he added. But what he did not say was that the announcement should not be interpreted as denial of the existence of any such investigation.” The Swamp—and virtually all of the hysterical right that was conditioned to being stabbed in the back by its elected or appointed officials—merely assumed that no investigation was going on.
Surprise. In fact, Sessions inherited an ongoing investigation by the Inspector General Michael Horowitz. There was an investigation under way (perhaps many) at the very moment Sessions uttered those words. Horowitz had been, in the words of Arlo Guthrie, “oppressed, suppressed, repressed sitting on the Group W bench.” His legitimate investigations under the Obama regime had been squelched, sidetracked, or unceremoniously cancelled. Horowitz was one of those rare Washington creatures: a man who actually has a sense of honesty in his mission.

"From the first moments in the administration, Jeff Sessions knew what he had in Horowitz. It’s not clear exactly when the plan came to Sessions, but clearly it was before his recusal. Both Trump and Sessions after the election had been shocked to see the level of hostility by the left to a duly constituted American election. Sessions personally found people he formerly thought of as friends in the Senate accusing him of the most vile attitudes. He was painted as the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan—an organization he had crushed as Attorney General in Alabama. Trump had already told Rush Limbaugh he was shocked at the level of vitriol that remained by January, but had now understood it would not evaporate quickly. If it took Sessions any longer, it’s doubtful once his confirmation hearings concluded that he was under any illusions as to the enemy he faced."
Q
I wish I could refuse to do my job and have it lauded as 4-D chess.
The title of this thread should read:
"Here’s Why Jeff Sessions Might Be Playing 4-D Chess"
In my haste to place this excellent point of view here I made an error.
Nevertheless, please see what you all think of the article. Larry Schweikart is a rather wise man.
4DChess has become a punchline. Unless 4DChess means, ‘Nothing has happened yet so we’ll make up fairytales about what *might* happen in the future,’ it’s no more than a tired joke.
When I get back to my home computer, should I have a class in posting threads? I’ve posted tens of thousands of them, hopefully I know what I’m doing. LOL
Jeff Sessions has been AG for 1 year, 2 months, 17 days.
Hit the abuse button and ask the Mod to fix it for you.

Q
‘Is the /sarc tag really necessary?’
In this case, no.
What I posted was factual. But I understand; the truth hurts.

There’s nothing sadder than pinning all your hopes and arguments on an internet meme.
And a FReeper!
Just pullin’ your leg Hoss. I’ve done that a time or two. Dog, cat or something else?
Yeah, so does Q and bradman over at Conservative Nuthouse. As yet, nothing to back up all these wishful thinking scenarios.
He’s also said that Mueller is a white hat working with Trump.
If he’s playing 4D Chess, he’s playing it on a two dimensional Chutes and Ladders game board, the ladders having been removed.
