Priebus was bloodletting in place of Sessions.

[Skidmore]

Congress protected Sessions and forced Trump into a corner. He lashed out at them by taking out Priebus. I think he made a serious misjudgment.

1. Good observations

5. Trump is vicious and

rageful. He's really pissed at Sessions, who he would gladly shove off Trump Tower. Senatev is largely old school GOP and Sessions is one of them. . Sessions is a perceived threat because his recusal has contributed to Mueller's appointment and investigation

By extension, Priebus was organizer for party candidates and has strong ties to these people. The events of this week have been humiliating for Trump in many ways. He lashed out , taking Priebus to make up for Sessions being keep out of reach. He also wanted set an example around leaks.

It is an animalistic bloodletting, feral and vicious.

Taunting Meuller comes to mind as another.

3. Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC asks and answers one question when we get these daily distractions:

"What was Special Council Mueller doing today? His job!"

So keep on flappin' your arms and distracting the media with those 'bright shiny objects.'

Mueller is coming.
