Sessions was his boy from the beginning (only congressional supporter), but angered him so much by rightly recusing himself, he immediately made up the story about Obama tapping his phone in Trump tower. Just as he was praising & fine with Comey until he wouldn't lay off Flynn (as his job requires), then he had to go.
We can agree,if President Trump tried to have Mueller fired right out ,,, the
consequences could be dire. Although a newly appointed AG could find
Mueller having a conflict of interest and fire him ..and replace him,,,
in the investigation with a more tenable Special Counsel..
Also,
when we talk about Obama wiretap/ tapping Trump's phone in Trump
Tower,, it applies to any surveillance in a general sense. We do know
that the U.S. government (during Obama's term) had wiretapped Trumps
former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and that it may have been in
Manafort’s residence in Trump....
The FBI investigation began it's investigation of Manafort in
2014 and surveillance was extended at least into
early 2017.
So,,it does raise the
question of whether something Trump said was inadvertently picked up
,,as a part of the government’s surveillance on Manafort. In fact
James Clapper said it is
"conceivable" that something Trump said during a conversation with Manafort was picked up by intelligence officials.
Bye
the by...Sessions was not candidate Trump's (only congressional
supporter).. but he was the 1st. .Trump was endorsed by the Speaker's in
both House's and a couple other Senators ,,along with over 30 House
members..if that even matters ..
