1. What did he replace it with?

Sessions could have been a hero and turned his AG position into an opportunity to be recognized in hishory as a great and honorable man of integrity. but nooooo - He will be remembered as a dishonorable liar, and maybe even a traitor to his country. He could have fired Comey, or made Comey recuse himself, followed by Sessions recusing himself. He could have ordered Comey to provide the House intelligence committee with all the info on the Trump-Russia stuff.

Character and integrity are what you do when no one is looking.

2. What? I almost said "What???????", but I never use extra question marks.

Elliot Richardson was just a plain decent person. Period, the end. Everyone acknowledges, regardless of party or political outlook. When Elliot Richardson gets airbrushed from the history books, this country is in big trouble.

This is so petty.

4. It might be a trick.

They carried on for weeks when someone erroneously stated that a MLK portrait or bust had been removed from WH. That took away attention from serious news, and this might be planned to do the same.
