Many believe that President Trump wants  Attorney General Jeff Sessions to move out but I believe he wants him to move in.  The President is putting external and internal pressure on the Attorney General to act and that means he wants results. Don’t be surprised if in the next few weeks Jeff Sessions announces investigations into the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton as a whole. Of course if the President feels that the Attorney General isn’t doing “his job” or “his job” he might find that his resignation letter is just ready to be signed. Yet don’t be fooled there is more then one tweet then the 140 characters seen with the eye.

For those  viewers  of  “Hell’s Kitchen” the drama we are witnessing in the Senate, as it relates to replacing Obamacare, plays out till the final stew. Senate leader Mitch McConnell (not normally my favorite Senator) may have played this with all the ingredients up front. First he puts together a fairly strong outline in private so it could actually be completed without too many Senator’s stewing the pot. Then he waits for the opposition to boil up. Once he meets with the 4 vocal Senators opposed to the legislation he can decide which ingredients he must add to the mix or delete.  Deleting to many might cause the whole stew to spoil so he probably would add more ingredients if possible. Once those ingredients are added he must make sure it’s not watered down so the other Senators can still vote on it without getting a heartburn. In the end let’s hope it’s a healthy bill/soup and maybe even one that’s a bit tasty.

Whether your a Democrat or a Republican you have to believe that FBI Director should be terminated  because of his poor performance (see attached list) of his duties the question is why it happened today?  Could the President have acted because of political reasons maybe but ask yourself what is the benefit for such an actions for it won’t stop any investigations just move to other individuals?  There is only one reason that seems to pop up a letter from Deputy AG Rosenstein  that makes a strong case for his removal as well as the influence of the current Attorney General.  Who knows maybe there’s something I’m missing or maybe some are trying to start a fire with only a few sparks?

10 Reasons FBI Director Comey could be fired

The President is using the political playbook of offering a carrot in one hand while wielding a stick in the other when dealing with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.  While President Trump talks tough and backs up his words with military preparations he offers an opening with Kim Jong Un even going so far as complimenting him and offering him a seat at a conversation table if he behaves better. This way the North Korean Leader can see some daylight if he backs away from his belligerent words and actions.   Trumps meeting with the President of the Philippines, who isn’t the greatest example of human rights, is another sign to Leader Kim that we might look the other way on his own dictatorial actions if he starts looking in our way.  It’s an opening in a simmering stew that might allow a little steam to come out as we seek to find a peaceful way out of this dangerous dilemma

President Trump can continue the government running while building the wall as the Democrats don’t realize they’ve already given him the $$’s.  For money was already allocated and voted on by those same Democrats in previous budgets to build the wall but never used for such purposes.  Since the money was already put in the pipeline but the pipeline was never made the President could start using those monies now. The Democrats can still say they didn’t vote for the wall during their next election cycle while the wall is still being built making everyone happy and the American people a whole lot safer.
