I always trusted Sessions. I have worked with his staff on immigration issues for decades and he has always been a straight shooter and NOT a racist they tried to smear him as.
I always trusted Mattis, Kelly, Dunford. When they stepped up to help, I knew we were in good hands. Mattis knows how to fight, and how to win, provided the Marines are allowed ROE with the maximum amount of room to move and make contact with the enemy.
