| Trump renews attack on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, claiming 'real corruption goes untouched' |
| 2018-08-25 |
| [ABC] President Trump lashed out again at Attorney General Jeff Sessions, saying he lets "real corruption" go untouched while special counsel Robert Mueller's team is "having a field day." Trump appeared to be responding to an unusual statement by the attorney generals this week defending himself against the president’s attacks, with Sessions saying: "While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations." The president shot back in a tweet Saturday morning that Sessions "doesn't understand what is happening" beneath him. The tweet reiterated the president's attack on the special counsel probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election as politically motivated and a distraction from "real corruption." |

| #7 3,4,6: Have thought the same thing--Kubuki theater while the real show goes on in the background. Oct. Surprise = declassisfying a slew of relevant documents or dropping (unsealing) a bunch of indictments? |

| #6 Personally, I think it's theater. I also expect the tone and tempo to increase the closer we get to election day. This is in my opinion being done as a distraction prior to dropping a really big October surprise. |

| #5 I hope the trump/sessions thing is theater. I cannot believe that a long game player like trump would let this DoJ hive fester this long. |

| #1 He's got a point. Sessions job was to fix the Depart of Justice. Instead he has been a typical swamp rat Sentor, sitting there with his thumb up his ass while the beltway bureacrat democrat machines screw conservatives and coddle progressives. Sessions must go - and we need someone in there that will shake it up massively, starting with firing anyone that showed political bias, and going hard after them in court, starting with Lerner, Mueller, and others for the IRS and Benghazi debacle. |
