I don't usually subscribe to the idea that Trump is playing 7-dimensional chess in his outbursts, but I think his tweets this morning are an exception. Here's why...
Last week the NY Times reported Mueller was eyeballing Trump's tweets for a possible obstruction charge. Trump's lawyers argue his tweets are just a politician defending himself in public.
So these tweets today about Sessions shutting down Mueller take it to the extreme. Trump is testing the theory. Is this obstruction or just ranting online?
Answer: If Trump can tweet this and it has no impact at all then clearly he's not obstructing anything via Twitter. He's just ranting. I really think this may be one case where these seemingly hot tweets were more carefully thought out. YMMV.
