*BTW, FWIW, this word is no longer the ancient Latin preposition we all know and love, which I discovered by reading this recent article; you can check at Urban Dictionary to see the ostensible problem — the stupidity is unfixable:

We’re doomed.

Obama is nothing like a Chicago Alderman. He lacks the people skills for that kind of work and lacks the interest in flesh-and-blood individuals with problems. Also, Chicago corruption is about favoritism, bribery, and extortion. The Regime under Obama / Holder / Lynch is characterized by abuse of power which incorporates targeted harassment of the opposition. There is favoritism and patron-client politics, but that’s more driven by Congress and the culture of the Democratic Party generally.

The Republicans had a majority in both houses and the Presidency from 2003 to 2007 and from 2017 to date and got less done than the Gingrich Congress managed while contending with a Democratic president. Part of it is that insipid careerists like Lisa Murkowski and the terminally refractory like John McCain sabotage good work when push comes to shove, but part of it is just execrable leadership over a caucus stacked five feet high with conniving poseurs. See the Obamacare fiasco. After 7 years, they should have had a finely crafted piece of replacement legislation good to go. They had nothing, because they were just striking attitudes and never meant it. They just do as they’re told by their donors.

“Other times I think the Deep State has Sessions by the short hairs and are twisting real good any time he even dreams of doing anything.”

I’ve been disappointed enough in Sessions apparent inactivity that I too have considered that someone has something on Sessions. But if Sessions inactivity is in fact that and Trump’s unhappiness with Sessions is genuine… then why hasn’t Trump fired him? No President can advance his agenda is his top officials are passive-aggressively resisting him and I just can’t see Trump taking it for this long.

Which leads me to seek another explanation, given that “inexplicable” behavior always has an understandable motivation once insight into it is gained.

Manju,

Team Blue was able to secure an investigation of Team Red by manufacturing ‘evidence’ against Trump that before its falsity was exposed, responsible leadership had to take seriously.

As for McConnell’s “reaction”… most here place no reliance upon his veracity.

McConnell and Ryan represent the GOPe, who place the Constitution and welfare of America slightly higher in priority than do the dems.

Here is a clue. Team Blue has no rules but power. So they do whatever to keep it and get more of it always. A living constitution is useful to Team Blue, since it can mean whatever they need at the time. Never let a crisis go to waste. Do you love “Big Brother?” It seems so.

Not too clever making light of Seals and the military just before Memorial Day. Where is the bottom, Manju?

But what is truly amazing is this…even after losing all 3 branches, Team Blue was able to secure an investigation of Team Red for what regular folks colloquially call Treason.

Meanwhile Team Red controls all 3 branches. Their Dear Leader has been screaming about a Watergate-level scandal since at least his Obama-wiretap lie, though probably Birtherism is a better place to start.

Then came FISA-gate, Uranium, Seth Rich. Nada. Nada. Nada.

Judging from McConnells reaction, you guys are running down the rabbit hole again. When asked to explain why there is no investigation, you’ll theorize that the FBI is made up of radical leftists of something. And Seal Team Six is a bunch of lesbian Rad-Fems.

Sometimes I think that is exactly what Trump and Sessions are doing – With Trump playing Edgar Bergen on crack cocaine and Sessions Charlie McCarthy on doggie downers. Other times I think the Deep State has Sessions by the short hairs and are twisting real good any time he even dreams of doing anything. I sure hope you are right. And to Neo’s point we now learn that deplorable extortionist Devin Nunes is obstructing justice ….according to Chuck Schumer.
