... was Jeff Sessions recusing himself from the Russia investigation.

I never would have guessed that.  I'm sure it wasn't planned, but now Trump's Admin has no ties to it.  It's Dems having to destroy Dems.

Rosenstein and Mueller are tied up into the Uranium 1 coverup.   It would be fantastic to see them, Holder, and Clinton perp walked because of it.  Session revised himself from the election investigation, but doesn't mean he can't investigate the Uranium 1 conspiracy.

Too much credit?

I've been one that thought he never had a chance at accomplishing anything politically but he defied the odds.  

Here again he comes out on top.  

The problem isn't too much credit, it is underestimating him.

I questioned keeping some of the Obama administration on but it looks like he'll be able to put those former Obama administration officials in prison and no one will be able to complain that he is going after the previous administration because he is cleaning up people in his own administration.

After cleaning up his own administration he'll have an excuse to keep going after people who weren't held over too.

Trump and co are either some of the most mastermindful people to have graced the political landscape in many years

or

Some of the luckiest sons of bitches to have ever bumbled their way into position to save this country.

I'll take either, thanks.

food for thought:

Some incredibly wealthy people and companies have think tanks that do research and run game theory. Aside from his public advisers and cabinet, I would bet Trump has a group of very talented people that the public doesn’t know about running the numbers and creating strategy models. Put on task to MAGA.

I know he does.

He also has advisors from the private sector that are simply friends. That aren't white house staff or collecting a dime.  They've been friends of his for a long time.

While I do believe Trump has gotten lucky on some level. At the same time he has also played a very good game. While probably having the most opposed and hard beginning to a presidency ever.

I've been saying since early in the primaries that Trump is laying well planned ambushes when he makes his controversial "off the cuff" statements (well, most of them), not bumbling around foolishly, but I never would have credited him with the hunter's patience and control over his own ego necessary to spend almost a year in office suffering that stream of abuse and accusation for something he didn't do just to let the real traitors assemble their own trap around them.

I see things a little different, I think Sessions recused himself for the sole reason of getting Mueller to investigate Trump. I think Sessions is there to protect the swamp given how McConnell was so quick to threaten Trump about firing him, problem is this thing is getting too big for Sessions to handle. Mueller was supposed to bring down the Trump admin already and now there are problems.

This is a good summery.  Politicians are pretty well insulated from prosecution and therefore they get complacent and careless.  This explains some of the absolute stupid moves they make because they have no fear of indictment.

LOL, no.
Mueller is a Clinton plant sent in to protect the D's at all costs.
You've got R's like Gowdy lining up to say what a great guy Mueller is now.
He's going to come down with some BS indictment for Manafort (that will be settled by a no jail time plea) & then he will declare that nobody else did anything wrong, right before sealing all the records so nobody can see them.
It will be cited as gospel by D's & RINO's alike - they will all line up again to say how satisfied they are & that a new special prosecutor is not needed.

Sessions was one of the dumbest things that Trump did so far.

He should have started fulfilling his campaign promises on day one - starting with a special prosecutor (of his choosing) on his first day.

Yep - don't forget that the Russian dossier was started by an R during the primary, then shifted over to Clinton/DNC for the general (where they illegally hired a foreign national & then lied about it on their campaign finance disclosures).
Most likely the R was McCain (or he was at least intimately involved in it) - that's McConnell's best swamp buddy that he has to protect...

He was appointed by Trump with Dems blessing.

By recusing himself, his hands are clean.  He didn't have to even get dirty because Mueller (their savior) turns out to be the dirt they were looking for.

They shot themselves in the foot without Sessions even lifting a finger.  They can't blame him for meddling.
