I think that Trump's decision to nominate Jeff Sessions for Atty General is by far the worst decision of his presidency.
1) With another choice, there would have been no recusal from the Russia investigation by the Atty General, therefore no special prosecutor.
2) With another choice, Jeff Sessions would have stayed in the Senate in Alabama, and there would be no Roy Moore problem. The election is to fill his seat. If Republicans lose this seat, Trump's chances of getting through any new possible Supreme Court Justices would be in jeopardy. The chance of meaningful tax reform will also be much harder.
3) With another appointee, there may have been investigations into Clinton/Obama administration people, instead of Trump.
This has been Trump's biggest mistake to date. The only way that it could have been avoided was that if Sessions had known he would be compromised. You would think that spending that many years in politics, that he would know that the Dems would be playing hardball.
