Of course that's consistent with Trump's pattern of undermining trust in anyone or anything but himself. He attacked Republican lawmakers yesterday for being under control of the NRA and boasted that he isn't. But then, another pattern of his is to make all kinds of statements when he is negotiating and then reneging when time comes for a decision.

That is why this administration is like going through the looking glass. If you were innocent you would want Sessions to recuse himself because otherwise it would be a political football full of paranoid conspiracy theories. What Sessions did was to help the rest of us have some trust in the process.
Also, is it just me or is Trump's administration breaking records for how many people have been fired, quit or indicted? (

Also, why doesn't Kushner leave? He isn't getting paid. He can run a billion dollar business. I can't see how you could possibly negotiate peace in the middle east if you are not allowed in the situation room. What are they going to do, create a system of coughs, clearing the throat and various hand signals to indicate that "No, can't do that with Iran", "Uh, uh, not with the Saudi's", etc?
