Whenever someone was promoted to VP at Apple, Jobs would sit them down, and explain the difference between being a VP and being a janitor
For a janitor, that's a perfectly good reason to fail to achieve an objective, because they are just a janitor
Same for Jeff Sessions
He was the Attorney General, and under his watch the Department of Justice was hijacked and turned against President Trump
There are no good reasons for that to have happened
Because no one wants to hear excuses
