Even if you think Trump was tricked by Jeff Sessions, how could he possibly have been tricked a second time?
It also just does not make sense that Trump surrounded himself with traitors. Pence, Kushner, Milley, his 3 Supreme Court picks, Barr, Fauci, etc etc. He could have fired anyone in his cabinet at any time. He could have picked different Justices. He could have let go of Milley given he was Commander-in-Chief.
The guy famous for saying “You’re Fired!” couldn’t have fired anyone?
On the surface level, it appears that Trump is horrible at hiring and managing people.
Let’s hope it’s all theater.
When you are running the largest sting operation in the history of mankind, you cant just bring in all the good guys and try to catch the bad guys. First, you wont know who are the bad guys. They will go under radar and wait for the things to change. Or they will compromise the good guys you put in charge.
So the only options are - put in a good guy who has the right "bad guy credential" OR you put in bad guys who have turned against their former pay masters.
