The Sessions-Trump feud: Just a show?



Maybe I'm too "clever by half," as the British say.

Or thinking too much! (Remember that I was not a Trump-supporter in the primaries, and he proved me wrong every time.)

Or maybe I've finally figured out how President Trump works.

We have a family member who is a successful magician. He once quoted Ben Okri:The magician and the politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing.

Over the last few weeks, we've seen the president attack the attorney general "tweet by tweet." They are even talking in the U.S. Senate about replacing Sessions with a tougher attorney general.

What if the whole thing is a show? Let me explain.

A.G. Sessions is the current leader for the Time person of the year, with the headline about "the man who wouldn't be pushed around by President Trump."

The left is suddenly in love with the quiet man from Alabama. He is going to save us from Trump or something like that. The A.G. is now the check on Trump.

So what's going on?
As President Trump and A.G. Sessions go back and forth, the DOJ is in fact investigating the Clinton Foundation. Furthermore, the DOJ is also looking into the FBI and the Clinton emails case. And there are further reports from Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

So what happens if the new candidate for Time person of the year, the new darling of the left, drops a huge nuclear bomb down the road about the Clinton Foundation? What if there are indictments? Or what if A.G. Sessions concludes that the FBI investigation of the Clinton emails was a farce and takes corrective action?

How does the left now in love with A..G Sessions suddenly claim that his actions were politically motivated?

Again, I don't have any information, but my instincts tell me that this "Sessions vs. Trump" is just too cute.

I am confident that President Trump will tweet down the road that "Jeff did a good job after all"! A.G. Sessions will tweet back, "Thank you, Mr. President."

Could be, but I don't think so. I think Trump is truly upset with the Attorney General over the recusal and the consequences it's having on so many lives of so many people Trump cares about. He hates it and doesn't understand why Sessions wouldn't want to stop it and clean the people behind it out of the DOJ. It's a very normal position Trump has, what is abnormal is why Sessions would recuse himself from a bogus investigation of a non-event, non-crime for 'ethics" reasons and by doing so allow these illegal witch hunts to run hog wild.

Unless you have someone leaking information, investigation are not discussed publicly or outside the investigative body. None of us know any details concerning ongoing investigations being conducted by the DOJ and that includes the President of the United States unless the investigation possibly involves national security.

LOL!! What investigation does AG Sessions know enough about to even talk about it publicly? Not anything to do with the Witch Hunt, the Russia Probe, Collusion, Manafort, Cohen, Carter Page, FISA Warrants, Surveillance, Dossier, Fusion GPS, Russian indictments, Michael Flynn, George Pappdopoulos, Roger Stone, DNC Hack Job, DNC and FBI Payments to Christopher Steele, etc., etc., etc., etc. Sessions doesn't know squat about these investigations other than they're totally bogus and have been from the start, because he .... recused.

And I said "and that includes Jeff Sessions" (who doesn't know any details).

And that would be false. I'm sure there are a lot of DOJ and FBI investigations going on that Judy knows nothing about. Regardless of what Fox News and Trump want us to believe, the entire country doesn't evolve around the Russian collusion probe.

We're talking about the Russian collusion probe, at least, that's what I'm talking about. What are you talking about?
