I’m not sure about Sessions removing him but certainly, the President can do it.
But I think what’s at play here is a much larger internal investigation of Comey, McCabe and the widespread Muslim Spy Ring.
The President is perhaps leaving them in place while he gets the goods on all of them meaning the whole group and their associates beyond US Borders.
Watching the video of Comey yesterday in the hearing, appeared to me he was shaken, nervous. Heck, he was nervous as he tried to placate the Committee and he was quick to say things how his FBI was doing this and that to be ‘better’. While he was talking, his voice quivered and his body flinched. He was clearly uncomfortable.
Plausible....very plausible for one specific reason. The Muslim gang worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee-----the committee oversees all or part of executive branch departments and agencies that impact Americans' safety and security---including the FBI.
Democrats on the House Intelligence Committe oversee these agencies:
• Office of the Director of National Intelligence
• Central Intelligence Agency
• Defense Intelligence Agency
• Department of Defense
• Department of Energy
• Department of Homeland Security
• Department of Justice
• Department of State
• Department of Treasury
• Drug Enforcement Administration
• Federal Bureau of Investigation
• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
• National Reconnaissance Office
• National Security Agency
• Office of Naval Intelligence
• Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency
• United States Army Intelligence and Security Command
• United States Coast Guard Intelligence
• Marine Corps Intelligence Activity
