Ohhh your so right! Trump was looking at Matt when he mentioned the little secret. This is awesome!
Also, no one can be arrested well they are in a session, they can only be arrested if Congress or the house is not in session
Actually, the Constitution clearly states otherwise:

First paragraph of Article One, Section 6: Rights and Disabilities of Members:
☝🤓
Please see my other post on exactly this for further details, I believe you are correct
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-2/section-3/
Article II Executive Branch
Section 3 Duties
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

Exactly. Which means he needs the cooperation of Mike Johnson in order to be able to invoke this clause. There is no way the Senate is going to adjourn voluntarily to allow him to make the recess appointments.
But if Johnson requests an adjournment, and the Senate refuses, then Trump has the Constitutional authority to force the adjournment for as long as Trump thinks proper.
Anyone want to take bets that this is the "secret", and this is why Trump has backed another term as Speaker for Johnson? Would also explain why Johnson had to play the role of good little globalist these last few years.
Once Matt Gaetz is AG, even for just a few days, the gloves can come off. Mass arrests incoming.
Many will be arrested for lesser crimes, corruption, pedophilia, RICO statutes.
Could mean while they are in session or en route to or from Congress.
Please stop! You trying to hurt me over here! LoL. I can only handle so much!😹
The actual secret is that congress keeps itself in session with very short plenary sessions, the last that are usually held on the morning of January 3rd of odd years.
Hot dang!
