| #12 Various Roman emperors "abolished" the Pretorian Guard more than once, but still had to be surrounded by bodyguards known by another name. Once the Empire dwindled down to a pitiful remnant and the pay packets stop coming, there was neither a real Caesar nor a real Pretorian Guard. The era of warlords turning into medieval kings began. |

| #11 That's why I noted it was from Wapo. I never go to stories sourced from Wapo or the NYT (and a few others like the LATimes etc) because I don't want to give them another 'pageview'. |

| #7 Thank me for Autocorrupt strikes again. I recently somehow approved it on my iPhone, and hopefully have now fixed the problem. But how the above was translated from Take with, I could not possibly say. |

| #6 From a writer friend and former colleague: TheClassical world is an endless source of events that mirror current events and thus can sagely inform the student. The one that comes to mind here is how the Praetorian Guard in Rome crossed the threshold from defending the emperor to replacing him. DOJ/FBI/CIA play the modern role of the Praetorian Guard. |

| #5 I have long believed that Sessions and Trump sit in a room and dream up these releases to distract the press and get them spinning. As long as the press think Trump is after Sessions, anything he does, to include prosecuting Comey and Mueller, will be supported by the left.... |

| #4 Thank me for an iceberg-sized grain of salt. From the article: Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the exchange. As leaked by anonymities? Be still, my beating heart. |

| #3 If true, he should be fired Monday morning. |

| #1 I think his departure would have an overall positive effect. As far as I can tell, he has been quite passive in the role, going after second order problems. It hints at him being constrained by an outside force. Or maybe he is just out of his depth. Get someone else in there. And note that this article comes from the Wapo. I always have to look at the source to judge the merit of their stance. |
