MR.TRUMP ATTACKS MR.SESSIONS
Mr. Trump has taken the Bully Pulpit to attack Mr. Sessions in a most unseemly fashion. I presume he is doing this because Mr. Sessions did not step in and use his authority as head of the Justice Dept to prevent the conviction of 5 of Mr. Trumps close associates. Mr. Trump always finds someone else to blame, often publicly, for any missteps in his administration. He needs to look in the mirror. I admire Mr. Sessions for standing firm in the face of a withering attack.
Every day I hear the words “witch hunt” from Mr. Trump. About 2 months ago Karl Rove, a staunch republican, in his weekly article in the Wall Street Journal, asked “If Mr. Trump is innocent of these charges, why does he not drop the subject entirely?” I suspect the real reason is that he is not innocent and in fact this is not a witch hunt.
The question of collusion with the Russians comes up virtually every day. Collusion is defined as: “A secret agreement OR cooperation for an illegal OR deceitful purpose.” We are not totally stupid. Off shore bank accounts; millions changing hands; secret meetings both here and abroad with the Russians and now multiple convictions of very close associates of Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump denies everything, but that is just another lie. The whole thing smells rotten. Public Broadcasting, PBS, reported about 2 weeks ago that Mr. Trump lied or misstated information 3200 times up to the beginning of this summer. Mr. Cohen is going to tell us that Mr. Trump was intimately involved with every stage of the planning, and that there was in fact Collusion.
