1. The funny part Sessions has the grabber where it hurts.

......and is saying "I dare you".

4. Sounds to me like he's simply

trying to get on cheeto's good side by going after leakers. He's tainted, he won't do anything against cheeto.
Maybe I'm missing something?

10. Through sheer desperation Trump sees his only path to survival is stopping the investigation.

Now Trump is in the position he cannot replace Sessions. When the fall comes both Trump and Sessions will make the fall.

2. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions: Trumpy's Whipping Boy.

Both are comfortable with their roles.

3. Trump needs to remember that Sessions is a witness.

5. Exactly. If Sessions is fired, what does he have to lose then ? What's stopping him from doing a

deal with the FBI to save his own skin ?

6. If He Was Smart

Yeah, right. I know.

But if he was, he would be in negotiations with Mueller right now.

There was a story yesterday that the hard right really likes Beauregard and they don't want PINO to fire him or give him a bad time. Sounds like a terrific wedge to me.

7. I'm sure Sessions will have been emboldened by the right wing support, but it would take a lot more

than that to change Trump's mind, now that "It's Sessions' fault that I'm in the shit" is in his head. I think Mueller would only enter the equation IF Mueller shows him that he has the goods on him, and if he has been fired. Sessions doesn't seem to me at least, to make hot headed moves.

8. He is a coward.

There is little cowardly about those suffering from Battered Wife Syndrome.

9. Just like every other authoritarian, he's a coward

He doesn't have the spine to stand up to the boss, even when the boss demands loyalty but offers none in return.
