Let that sink in. Jeff Sessions is the nation's top law-enforcement officer, with a broad portfolio that includes drug enforcement, voting rights, cyber crime, terrorism, civil rights, and scores of other issues. But none of that matters to Trump. All that matters is that Sessions be there to show his loyalty to president, and to be in a position to control an ongoing probe of his own campaign. If Sessions is not in that role to alter the investigation, the president is saying, and quash it if necessary, then he has no value to Trump. That is mind-boggling, and more truth that Trump is the living embodiment of Nixon's famous statement that when the president does it, that means it is not illegal.
