Trump Asked Sessions to Retain Control of Russia Inquiry After His Recusal

This looks interesting:

Mr. Trump, who had told aides that he needed a loyalist overseeing the inquiry, berated Mr. Sessions and told him he should reverse his decision, an unusual and potentially inappropriate request.

Mr. Sessions refused.

The confrontation, which has not been previously reported, is being investigated by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, as are the president’s public and private attacks on Mr. Sessions and efforts to get him to resign.

"Half measures avail US nothing." Heard this some where on my journey. Perhaps it was the cry of the addicted hoping to "control" the raging beast?
