You do know Donald Trump Jr got the nickname Fredo after the weak,stupid character Fredo Corleone in Godfather 2?
 
This is a wee bit off-topic, but as OP I’m willing to stretch things just a bit, at least until I find a better thread.

Last night, Rachel Maddow made the case that the WH & GOP have been systematically purging every high-level FBI official who was in a position to corroborate Comey wrt Trump.

Just my comment: At the rate Giuliani, as Donny's own hand-picked lawyer, is continually undermining Donny's lies version of events every time he opens his jowls, he might be the next one with his withered neck on the chopping block.

A little ball just dropped in a roulette slot in my head: is it possible that Giuliani is intentionally undermining and embarrassing Trump as revenge for not getting a high level position in the new administration immediately after the 2016 election? A year later Giuliani remained on a slow burn and decided that it now was payback time?

I don't think it is likely - my best guess is that Giuliani really is crazy and will say anything to keep his face in the public eye.

Another question: has Giuliani's actions reached the level that he is in risk of being disbarred for gross incompetency in representing a client?
 
I know that Jeff Sessions has been an important topic here, and my sincere apologies if this was already discussed upthread and I missed it:

Just what kind of individual is willing to so repeatedly and publicly be humiliated by his boss as Sessions has been by Trump? Most people would not put up with such disgusting abuse in far less public scenarios. Is it because deep inside Sessions is so honorably dedicated to the rule of law that he is bravely staying on to protect the special investigation and the remnants of independence left in the Justice Department? Or is it, to quote a Kurt Vonnegut Jr character, "I could carve a better man from a banana."?

Sessions: brave defender of liberty or craven lackey? Based on his actions in other areas I would vote crave lackey, but maybe????

As AG, Sessions is privy to the really inside (highly classified) dirt on the Trump Org/Campaign/Administration, the sort of dirt which may have motivated Trump to sack most of the FBI leadership, as I related just a bit upthread.

Perhaps the AG believes he may outlast POTUS, and finally get down to business under President Pence.

I had that same consideration myself a while back. I think he's quite capable of doing that. "Playing the long game" and whatnot.

You do have a bunch of massive egos who have been belittling each other and who hold grudges.

None of the above. It's all "I won't quit, you have to fire me."

And don't forget, if he quits or is fired, Rod (((Rosenstein))) becomes acting AG.

He's not even hiding his obstruction of justice knowing that the GOP will do nothing about it.
 
Stories that Trump is mad at Sessions because he wanted Sessions to arrest Omorosa,and Sessions refused simply because there were no grounds to do so...Omorosa has violated no federal law.
 
The fact that Kelly hasn't been fired yet points to Trump's total dependence on him for keeping the lights in the White House on.
 
This administration is pretty much the Titanic after the last lift boat filled. They'll be running, screaming to get out only realizing that they're too late. The damage to their reputations has been done.

In many ways, this may be good. I'm not thrilled that he can't control Trump, but he's a grownup.

And at least he's not a deplorable. He's only got his Despicable Third Class badge; needs a couple of points to get up to Apprentice Deplorable. Maybe we should publish some more of his Homeland Security record?
