TRUMP has said a lot of things. The not so important things might have happened BUT the important Visible things is all talk. Except the economy and he has done a wonderful job just far. LIKE draining the SWAMP? Not ONE Prosecution and without that nothing else matters and is all talking points for the talking heads. We know JEFFIE will not do it but who appointed JEFFIE, TRUMP. Jeffie is doing his job and that is to PROTECT the SWAMP. Voter Fraud well that has worked out well. JUST happened big time in AL and not a peep?????. TRUMP does not realize how bad that defeat is to him now and in the future. Do you think Little MARCO would be holding his vote for tax reform if MOORE had WON???? No one is afraid of TRUMP any longer because MITCH just beat him in AL.

Well, let's not write Trump's obituary so fast. He uses the process to win, not so much by decree. He says things and then steps back to let them come to pass. I believe there will be a wall, for example. Trump will wear them down over time.

Roy Moore's loss could be laid at Trump's feet but don't forget, Trump endorsed the other guy first. This one battle was lost but it was more of a skirmish [many factors] and the war will continue.

Losing little individual skirmishes add up to LOSING the big WAR. Watch 2018???? When the RINOGOPe, UNIPARTY team up with the DEMS to lose both Houses so TRUMP can be impeached. The “little skirmishes” build confidence and that is all the UNIPARTY needs.

I have know of Jeff Sessions from the perspective of a software engineer who was ultimately forced to compete with illegal aliens for work. Jeff puts out the Gold Standard on information regarding open borders, guest workers, illegal aliens and the negative effects on our economy,j ob market , and national security.

I came across this article. If this plays out as Joondeph, Lifson, and Sundance propose it would be just beautiful.

It is also possible that sessions is and has been controlled opposition, a plan, part of the swamp.

Only time will tell.

What if Jeff Sessions is not asleep, but instead playing possum?
By Brian C. Joondeph

Conventional wisdom is that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is asleep at the wheel – from recusing himself unnecessarily from the Trump-Russia collusion investigation to doing nothing about the politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice. He also gave free rein to his deputy A.G., Rod Rosenstein, who is in turn allowing Special Counsel Robert Mueller unlimited time, money, and jurisdiction to investigate President Trump's entire life.

Last summer, Trump expressed disappointment in Sessions, calling him "beleaguered," wondering why Sessions wasn't looking into Hillary Clinton's emails and true election chicanery. Rudy Giuliani was floated as a possible replacement. Was Trump truly upset, or was this a calculated head fake?

In a recent blog posting, American Thinker editor Thomas Lifson, referencing Sundance from Conservative Treehouse, made the case that the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General is where the real action is taking place. Here was an explanation why Rosenstein gave evasive answers in recent congressional testimony and a suggestion that the OIG is laying out a case, slowly and methodically, with selective information release, before bringing the hammer down on the leakers and corruptocrats in the FBI and DOJ.

I want to take this a step farther, perhaps answering the question of where Jeff Sessions is and whether he is asleep, or just playing possum. Perhaps I can explain why he is acting not as a Trumpian pit bull, but instead like Mister Rogers ready for his afternoon nap.

Jeff Sessions is a political appointee, appointed by President Trump. The president, as we all know, is despised by Democrats, many establishment Republicans, and the media. Any actions Trump or Sessions take will be viewed through the lens of obstruction of justice. Firing Mueller or Rosenstein or shutting down the investigation would allow eager Democrats and NeverTrump Republicans to tut-tut over threats to the Constitution and to initiate impeachment proceedings.

Instead, by lying low, the OIG can carefully build a case. The OIG is not a political office, but instead "[a] statutorily created independent entity whose mission is to detect and deter waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct in DOJ programs and personnel." Above politics. Beyond reproach. As much as any government bureaucracy can be.

Jeff Sessions must keep his hands clean of this entire investigation, letting the OIG present its findings and recommendations. If I.G. recommends prosecution, A.G. Sessions can follow the OIG recommendations and unleash the cannons on the swamp creatures. Sure, the media and their Democrat allies will explode with rage, but it will be a politically independent organization making the recommendations, not the Trump administration, whether the president or his A.G.

Despite the left making this entirely political, for Trump to deliver a knockout punch, he has to let Lady Justice swing the axe. He has to keep politics out of his counterpunch.

Will Rod Rosenstein be fired, as some fake news sources suggest? Or is he in on the OIG sting operation? Deliberately staying quiet so events can play out, as Sundance described?

For now, I give A.G. Sessions the benefit of the doubt, that for optical and political reasons, he is lying low. For the OIG investigation to play out as desired, he has little choice. With the OIG report due early next year, this may indeed be the calm before the storm. Thousands of sealed indictments. Members of Congress retiring or not seeing re-election. Trump acting happy and confident, whether in speeches or on Twitter.

Further bolstering my theory is that Democrats are getting nervous. The Mueller circus has made a critical pivot from Trump-Russia collusion to Obama-Clinton-FBI-DOJ collusion. The Daily Caller reports, "Democrats mobilize against Rod Rosenstein as Inspector General investigation zeroes in on FBI." Turn on the light, and the cockroaches scurry.

Trump has been viciously attacked from the day in 2015 when he announced his candidacy. Like Superman, the bullets have bounced off his chest, wounding many of those who attacked him. It's likely that this entire investigation will have the same outcome.

I'm confident that President Trump has this well in hand, early on setting the stage for an upcoming reckoning – what Sundance calls "the big ugly."

And Jeff Sessions, instead of being asleep, may be playing possum, lying in wait, ready to pounce when the moment is right.
