Donald ("A refusal is a call for more direct persuasion in disguise" ) Trump is saying: "Listen, it wouldn't be my fault if Sessions wanted to move from his role as Attorney General to head up the Department of Homeland Security! . . . Maybe that was what he wanted after all. . . . Who knows, he might think he'd do a better job there . . . especially without so many other distractions, . . . humiliating ones, if you know what I mean. . . . No, it wouldn't be my fault if he wanted to move, but I'd sure understand!"
*********************************************
Above CAPTION based on the speculation that Trump might force Sessions to leave his role at Justice, sliding him over to DHS instead of firing him and risking the rejection of many Republicans, so that he might replace him as Attorney General who would not be recused from the Russian matter and then could fire or restrain Mueller, as in the Business Insider piece:

We'd planned the photo-op and had the pens lined up and I knew who was going to get what, . . . but then I suddenly realized: I'd be giving up executive authority, and that wasn't fair to the presidency, especially future presidents, so solely as a matter of principle . . .!"

(20,612 posts)They need it. Every time I allow coal waste in their drinking supply, it's for them. When I overturn Obama's franking rule to allow more franking I do it with them in mind. When I overturn Obama's overtime pay rules so they work harder for less pay, I'm thinking about them. When I lower the fuel standards so their car gets less miles per dollar, it's for them. I do this all for them, the working man. Boy do I loathe them. Seriously if I could stick them on the other side of my wall I would.

Wouldn't the world be a better place? . . . . So what if Russian wants to be a solid world citizen? . . . And so what if they helped me out of a jam in the past? . . . I mean who cares? . . . All I had to do was get this tiny implant placed into my frontal lobe. . . . And guess what? . . They even helped me out with that!"
