It sounds like the administration needs to clean house and fire practically everyone to get rid of these leaks.

Trump needs to say, "one more leak and everyone is fired" and follow through with it.

But when will Trump fire himself? Nothing of substance is getting accomplished while he's the man at the helm.

Of course Trump wants law and order on recess.

Two things:
1. Wacky ultra liberal laws won't be signed.
2. Reasonable SCOTUS nominations.

Do I like Trump? No. Did I vote for him? No. Am I glad Hillary isn't POTUS? Yes.

I think lots of people are going to be surprised over the next few weeks.

We are gonna find out if Trump is crafty or just dumb.

There is a lot to suggest that his annoyance with Sessions is just smoke.

Now that the push to start some real investigations is underway, things are gonna speed up for a bit and lots of pieces are going to start falling into place. Things that Trump has done that might look odd will suddenly take on meaning. I think this whole spat with Sessions is one such issue. I bet Sessions recusing himself was part of the strategy from day one. A lot of this looks like stage craft to me and for whatever else you might say about Trump, the guy is a true master of that and manipulating what the Press is covering.

The jury is still out, but I'm wondering about crafty for now, and I've been suspecting that his annoyance with Sessions is just political theater and misdirection.

If that's not the case, he is beyond stupid, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for awhile longer yet.
