Notes from yesterday on The Administration's myriad troubles

by Jack Brummet, Scandal Ed.



1) It will be a real mind effer if the Attorney General invokes the 5th Amendment today. 

2) Almost more likely, he un-recuses himself, fires Mueller and maybe Rosenstein two hours before the hearing. 

3) Less likely:
the Veep, the generals, Tillerson, etc., run a 25th amendment coup d'etat.

4) I know everyone thinks the public accolade part of the first full cabinet meeting had chimes of 3rd world/totalitarian politics. This is overthinking it; the cabinet merely provided, in exchange for their honor, what is known in the dating world as a courtesy fuck.

AG Jeff Sessions recuses himself from Russian-Trump investigations

By Mona Goldwater, Justice Dept. Ed.
Illustration by Jack Brummet


In this instance, recusal is a half-measure. You know what they say about half measures. The President gave the AG a half-vote of confidence yesterday.  When asked if  he believed Attorney General Sessions had told the truth at his confirmation hearings, The President said “he probably did.”
