“Sessions plays chess in a PAC-Man media world.”
I dont think what is going on is an elaborate chess strategy. It is much simpler than that:
Trump can’t be the aggressor here without feeding the narrative that he is vanquishing his political adversaries.
This swamp draining needs to be above politics - it needs to be about founding principles of the Republic. The battle is over the deep state’s gross abuse of government agencies and their attempt to subvert the will of the people and interfere with the peaceful transition of power.
If Trump, a Republican President, and his politically loyal AG and DOJ were to send a bunch of Obama era Democrat co-conspirators to prison, then the whole victory would be tainted by politics - and the overiding moral and ethical lessons of history would be lost in the mire of politics.
Trump understands that the American people need to swing the machete, not him (or his AG).
If this is all going to be worth the fight and have a long lasting effect on American reassertion of self-governance, the heros will have to be from the legislature - elected representatives of the people - figures such as Mark Meadows, etc.
Trump may be able to help in subtle ways but the real attack has to come from outside the executive branch, because the executive branch is where the real entrenched deep state lives.

Everyone should know how it works, IG clears Rosenstein by using Rosenstein’s own “testimony,” and a Rosenstein underling approves FISAs for a day, with Rosenstein looking over his shoulder.
All the Authority lies in the activist Justice Dept.

True. Mid-terms — the game is rigged and they know about the high-percentage of mid-term flip. To say it’s complicated, what with the traitor media to boot, is an understatement for sure.
And that’s part of Session’s chess move. Take away RR’s powers, and let the People’s House impeach him after they get ahold of unredacted documents he’s been stonewalling, and his perfidy is revealed to the world. Even CNN won’t be able to pretend it’s not happening.
Here’s a thought
How about we play to win and let all the concern trolls stay home?
When you are playing a game, and the rules only apply to one side, guess which side loses.
Just like we haven’t won a war since WWII, we always lose if we apply rules to our side that the other side doesn’t have to play by
Great comment. Bookmark.
How about this for people who must love sessions and can’t stomach the obvious.
He’s a sniveling POS.
