Sessions is a bit different because he was one of Trump's rare nominees that has experience in getting things done within the framework of the government. If he gets replaced with someone equally evil but less competent, that's a plus.

it's also important because administration officials need to have authority among THEIR OWN departments to get anything done. coming in as a 2nd stringer after a couple of weeks basically puts you in the position where your entire department has no reason to trust or listen to you because they have no reason to think you'll be around very long. in addition to the delay of some number of weeks in simply finding a replacement, there will be a delay of some number of MONTHS while the new nominee simply repairs the damage that was done.

Thoguh posted:

He's essentially been accused of committing treason. If he's allowed to just say "my bad" and walk away that's a much bigger deal. Him just resigning won't impact Trump at all long term.

depends on what you mean by 'long term'. even in the most charitable view, donny t only has 3 years before he's going to be at least partially distracted by campaigning again. cleaning up after a gently caress-up leaves typically can take about 6 months, sometimes longer if the new nominee themselves gets any flak whatsoever during the adjustment period. even if you presume sessions is replaced by someone equally as evil and equally as adroit, that's 1/6th of his overall effective time lost.

So just to confirm, Sessions is going to at worst have to resign with no charges or anything because nothing matters, right? I told y'all not to get your hopes up again last night.

argh you dorks just because the window has shifted on nefarious evil doesn't mean the rest of the nominees are on the level

hypernormalization~

I said it before, if we make a big stink about Trump's pity appointments, the best-case scenario is that he is replaced with a DeVos-style career lobbyist because Donald Trump still gets to pick replacements and that is what "draining the swamp" means to him. That is much worse.

soooo we allow his first picks in because otherwise he'd pick someone else (who we'd suddenly allow in, I guess?)
