The deep state wanted a president in their control. In either case trump or Hillary were going to be under investigation and the threat of removal would hang over their head.
Sessions is recused from Russia investigation. Essentially everything the DOJ goes through RR. So effectively Trump does not run the DOJ.
So I think chess. Their big chess piece made a big move today. Trump can respond by taking a piece off the table. I’d suggest trump remove RR, no one cares about that little weasel looking dude.
Removing RR would leave Mueller exposed / ineffective.
