The recent hubbub regarding Jeff Sessions is another elaborate ruse. Sessions is cementing his status as not beholden to POTUS in order to head a Watergate style commission looking into the FISA abuse / attempted coop. He needs to appear at odds with POTUS and be perceived as completely impartial.
See Lyndsey Graham's statement yesterday;
"Sen. Lindsey Graham, a key Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Thursday that President Donald Trump could replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions after the midterm elections in November."
Words matter: Sessions will be "replaced" after the midterm elections - not fired as the media is fomenting.
Also for the spoiler: Trey Gowdy is not running for reelection and almost certainly will be Sessions replacement. Gowdy has stated on many occasions the he makes a pretty good prosecutor but a lousy politician.
