I think they walled off Sessions. Sessions was more worried about what the media and his “colleagues” across the aisle said about him.
They told him he was conflicted because he met with the Russian Ambassador in a public setting. Let that sink in.... pretty much every Senator talking today had met the guy in a public setting.
It was part of the scheme within DOJ. They had to remove Flynn and sideline Sessions to push the coup attempt. Who was at the top of it all?
The man appearing before them today was the top of the pyramid and this is his punishment.
You’re right. Tucker brought this out the other night. Throughout that whole period, we controlled the House and the Senate, and no one stepped up to shut things down, in fact I clearly recall everyone in the GOP talking up Mueller, and Graham saying there would be hell to pay if Sessions was fired. He had several never Trumpers that jumped ship on him.
Trump weathered thru this, no doubt by his own instincts but I bet he had people like Newt and others helping behind the scenes.
