Fortunately for our country, Attorney General Jeff Sessions doesn’t have much more time left in his job. Once the Nov. 6 midterm elections are over, President Trump is widely expected to belatedly accept the letter of resignation tendered by Sessions in May 2017.
Hopefully, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will also leave the Justice Department when Sessions heads out the door.
Both Sessions and Rosenstein have done enormous damage to the Trump presidency, our nation and our system of justice. We will all be better off with them out of their jobs. As the old saying goes, “good riddance to bad rubbish!”
The Washington Post is reporting that Trump recently spoke with Sessions’ Chief of Staff Matthew G. Whitaker about replacing Sessions as attorney general. It is unclear whether Whitaker would take the helm temporarily or permanently.
There are others who should be considered to replace Sessions. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, would be an excellent choice. So would Solicitor General Noel Francisco.
In a recent interview, President Trump remarked that “I don’t have an attorney general.” He is absolutely right.
On his first day in office, Sessions recused himself from any involvement in the investigation of possible “collusion” between the Trump presidential campaign or Donald Trump and Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. This was like a fire chief running away from the scene of a major blaze.
Sessions made it official three weeks later, shirking his duty to supervise a critically important investigation and instead relegating himself to become a meaningless bystander as events threatened to overtake the new administration.
The attorney general deliberately concealed his intent to disregard his responsibility and duty from President Trump, betraying the president’s trust and poisoning their relationship from the outset.

This is an op ed, Jarret’s personal opinion. Nothing new.
Just losing his job is a big nothingburger.
Sol should be SO.
Give President Trump 63 or so Senators in the MidTerms and he can fire both sessions and rodenstien.
Hillary Minions should go
November 7th has been my prognostication.
Unfortunately for Gregg Jarrett the one man who can fire Sessions and RR at will has shown no interest in doing so. In fact that same guy has recently been flying RR around in his plane.
Trump can fire them right now. He could have fired them at any time. The Senate gets zero say in it. Myers v United States.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
No, no, no, Sessions is going to arrest thousands of Deep Staters (sealed indictments!) and put them away forever.
Soon, very soon.
Enjoy the Show.
Timing is everything. Their time will come.
Those 2 freakin traitors can go to h3ll for all I care.
They more than help try to sink Trump— f em!!!
I still think that the Deep State has some severely damaging dirt on Sessions that keeps him quiet.
He needs to fire both the second the senate goes on recess. Then recess appoint rudy. waiting until after the election is too big a risk in my opinion. The risk is the chance the repubs lose the house. If the President wont fire them now he will not be firing anyone if the dems take the house and in that case the investigations of the President will never end. Before the election could be the last chance to get rid of sessions and rosenstein.
Jarrett and FR groupthink have been howling for Sessions’ and RR’s heads seemingly forever. The one guy who knows more about those two than all of the outside critics combined is the same guy who can fire them at will. And yet he doesn’t.
Occam’s Razor. The simplest explanation is that Trump, unlike those not privy to what he knows, is satisfied with the job that they are doing. No convoluted explanations needed for why he doesn’t act.
Elves, tree trunks, cookies...
You’re no better than the unhinged leftists pawing at SCOTUS’ door.
I'm hoping that after the mid terms the gloves are off. Hopefully he's been setting the stage for draining the swamp and November 9 will see him pulling the plug.
