Sessions' blunders
Regarding "Senator says he fears dismissal would be a prelude to firing Mueller, shutting down Russia investigation" (Page A10, Wednesday), Republican Sen. Tom Cole of Oklahoma was critical of President Trump's criticisms of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, stating "I don't think it helps to throw your own people under the bus."
Seriously? The failure of Sessions to tell Trump he intended to recuse himself on the Russia investigation, his failure to pursue the orgy of government leaks on the matter, and his unwillingness to question any aspect of the Democratic-driven Trump investigation constitutes a pretty definitive instance of throwing one under the bus.
Trump said that Session's actions - and inactions - were "very unfair to the president." He was referring to the duties a cabinet officer has to the presidency, not to himself. Take Trump out of the equation, and Session's behavior is still inexplicable and inexcusable.
He either needs to start doing his job or resign.
