If you& #39;re following the twitters, you may know President Trump and his former Attorney General are "debating" in 280 character bursts. Trump& #39;s chief complaint about Sessions doesn& #39;t really make any sense tho... 1/2

Trump says Sessions shouldn& #39;t have recused himself from overseeing the Mueller investigation --- i.e. he should have "managed" it. But Trump could have done anything Sessions could have done... himself. Trump is --- famously --- in charge of everything in the exec br. 2/3

Yet Trump didn& #39;t intervene. What was Session supposed to have done in Trump& #39;s mind, and if it was the right action, why didn& #39;t Trump just do it?

I& #39;ll tell you why. Eh you know why. 3/3

(The President is not actually in charge of everything in the executive branch, but Trump has claimed he is, so for the purposes of this thread, we& #39;ll accept his point of view.)
