I'm thinking taking Acosta's credentials may be scarier than firing Sessions.

At what point are we actually sliding don't the slope instead of just looking at the prospect?

1. Firing Sessions would be no big deal if Rosenstein were allowed to take over.

However, Trump intentionally froze Rosenstein out and put his stooge Whitaker in the position instead, knowing Whitaker has called for the investigation to be shut down.

But yeah, barring Acosta's credentials is just as terrifying. So many red flags these days.

2. It is a distraction. And it seems to be working.

I'm not saying it isn't bad, but it appears pre-planned and intended to manipulate the press into talking about that instead of talking about election results and Sessions/Mueller.

3. The two events were planned together

Trump does this again and again to distract and diffuse.

4. I think that is pretty big myself. I had a big uh oh, when I heard this yesterday.
