My guess is that diGenova realized Trump wanted him to argue his nutty conspiracy theories in court. He was ready and willing to spew that nonsense on FOX but would not permanently ruin his legal reputation by trying that garbage on a judge.<br /><br />We, Owen, are well and truly living in the Age of Crazy.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-63154525215721489792018-03-27T15:57:36.842-04:002018-03-27T15:57:36.842-04:00I think eventually Trump will find himself in the ...I think eventually Trump will find himself in the dustbin, sal.

Pruitt is rumoured to be the front-runner. <br /><br />But Trump could have cut Sessions loose long ago and saved himself a lot of whining on Twitter. But he didn't. That tells me that Trump needs Sessions and can't afford to have him outside the tent pissing in. He needs Sessions to say, "I fired Comey on the basis of Rosenstein's memo, not the president's wishes." Without that, Trump's chances of beating an obstruction of justice charge go way down.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-35686042864402380482018-03-27T12:30:56.637-04:002018-03-27T12:30:56.637-04:00Unless Trump fires Sessions and puts someone in hi...Unless Trump fires Sessions and puts someone in his place who will do the dirty deed, Cap.

That ended last year on January 20.<br /><br />Trump's problem is that he <i>can't</i> fire Mueller. Currently, only Rosenstein can fire Mueller and only if he has just cause to do so. It's this inability to stop the Mueller probe that causes Trump's friction with Sessions, who he blames for recusing himself. Bottom line, Mueller isn't going away.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
