We're not privy to the insider information, or moves taking place. Sessions did his job. It wasn't an easy job, and I suspect he was instructed who to appoint, and what to do, when, and what not to do. The DS was plenty panicked about Sessions, until they got their guy in, and then Rosenstein was the right guy to go after Trump. Except it kind of fizzled from a public perspective. Remember the wire tap and secret recording of Trump debacle? Kept everyone guessing.

I have no idea what is going on with Wray. If he was put into place to ruin the FBI's reputation, and expose the rotten core, he's doing a fine job. It doesn't sound like anyone raised objections about an illegal raid of Mar-a-Lego.

The FBI had a decent reputation - far from stellar - and few of us knew just how corrupt they had become. They needed to be exposed.

It looks to me like the CIA's reputation was questionable before Trump was elected, and if he had dismantled them, or attempted to, few conservatives would have complained. The problem is, that would have started an agency war with the president, as most of them are rotten to the core. So Trump went about dismantling their power structure and sources of covert funding. They complained, through their corrupt politicians, but they couldn't come out and say "Trump is killing our illegal sources of funding for our international corruption schemes".

Anyway, sorry about the long winded thought process. I'm trying to figure it out like you are, and this is what I'm seeing at the moment. Tomorrow it might all look different....

BTW - the CIA is an integral part of the whole DS universe. I suspect they are the primary target (in DC), but not directly. More like a slow death by a thousand cuts before the head is removed.
