Wuf, your scenarios insist on more people being masters or grand masters. That or you're relying on the assumption that team Trump (including Sessions in this case) is in lockstep. The idea that Mueller (again, on team Trump and in lockstep in your scenario), Sessions, etc, are not playing their own game is near absurd. Especially after we've seen time and again members of team Trump to be shown to be playing their own game.
