Attorney General Jeff Sessions made what appears to be an extremely prescient comment in a speech Monday morning, minutes before news broke publicly that his second-in-command, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, may be on his way out.
After a receiving loud applause at the Justice Department’s National Public Safety Partnership Symposium in Hoover, Alabama, Sessions said, “Who knows? I may need this today. Going back to Washington, you never know what’s going to happen next in the capital city, that’s for sure.”

Unnecessary drama and chaos is a shitty way to govern.
You’re next Keebler
And the question is, who is Trump going to move in to protect himself? Kavanaugh started going down in flames, suddenly Trump’s handed reason to fire Rosenstein.
The terrors must be getting to him at night. Not to mention Kushner and Ivanka. And he’s so very adept at leaking, isn’t he?
I blame the fucking nyt. In an effort to look relevant, they acted as trump’s hit man (or more accurately, they carried water for the person peddling this story to undercut Rosenstein/mueller).
The nyt helped give us trump by playing the ‘both-sides are equally bad’ balance games (daily breathless story on the e-mails or her purported corruption) all stories planed by pro-trump fbi folks (many connected to guillani) and now they have done it again, publishing. A hit piece which…now that I think of it, probably is connected to Guilliani.
No way I ever give them a dime of my money.
“You never know what’s going to happen next” is not prescient. It is the exact opposite of prescient. It’s as prescient as Niels Bohr’s “Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future” in terms of claiming to know what’s going to happen next.
