Trust President Trump. He is not a fool.
Sessions put Trump between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand he’s got a singularly powerful, runaway SC trying to destroy his presidency. Otoh, he has Grassley and the rest of the GOP swamp monsters threatening to unleash hell on him—Trump—if he touches a hair on Sessions’ head.
Sessions really did a number on Trump with that blindside recusal. How anyone can defend him idk.
