It's strictly politics and managing the news cycle. Right now the news cycle is "Russia gate" and it buries the things the GOP has done. The IG has a report out soon about the State Department under Clinton, and I suspect there is other investigations going on. The malfeasance is too big to ignore.
I have zero faith in Sessions, but since Trump hasn't fired him, and the republicans are not bitching very much about him, a read between the lines tells me something is going on that hasn't leaked. Lets not forget that 90% of what Russia Trump vs Non Russia Trump is based on is anonymous leaks. The news cycle is shifting away from Trump to Mueller depending on what level of psychosis you are at.
It's great fun for political junkies, but it drowns out the real things going on we should be hearing about.
I remember some of my coworkers loved Trump and after the election they kept saying something like, "if Hillary just goes away, Trump will let her go." I think they thought Trump was going to prosecute her unless she stayed around and kept causing problems.
They really believe in all that, "lock her up" nonsense... so anyway... Trump is now ranting and raving on Twitter, what about Hillary???? I mean, it's funny, because he led his supporters to think he alone had some kind of authority to prosecute her and lock her up, and they voted for that.
It will be interesting on what they come up with on Hillary, but she has been investigated non stop. I highly doubt they'll find something prosecutable at this point. Also, it would be disgusting and undemocratic if Trump did pressure the DOJ to prosecute her for something for his political benefit. It wouldn't surprise me though.
