"I don't think personnel decisions are usually well-resolved over Twitter. I think the President's frustation was not the recusal - I hope it wasn't because I don't think Attorney General Sessions had a choice but to recuse himself. If the President is gonna be frustrated, he should be frustrated by what lead up to the recusal, which was Senator Sessions had a faulty memory. ...If I was the Attorney General I would not stay if my employer had lost confidence in me. On the other hand, Attorney General Sessions may believe he's doing the job the way he's supposed to. He doesn't work for the President, he works for a blindfolded woman holding a set of scales. ...It is heartbreaking to me to see public squabbling between the commander-in-chief and the nation's top law enforcement officer."Admittedly, this is just one guy, but he's an important guy. No doubt hardcore Trump supporters will be willing to throw Gowdy overboard, but they'd do well to remember that just a couple short years ago, he was their "go-to" conservative bulldog. You can make (and I've made) the point that Gowdy's bluster has produced little in the way of tangible results, but think of him as a canary in the coal mine.
