Firing Sessions is not the problem - it’s what happens next.

His replacement needs Senate approval. 49 Democrats and the usual RINO suspects - McCain, Flake, Collins - will block approval of the new nominee, leaving democrat hack Rosenstein in charge for years.

Republican Senators owe their allegiance to the Senate Club, not the party, not the President, and definitely not America. Sessions is a member of the Club.

WRONG. Trump can replace Sessions with the EPA’s Pruitt with a Senate confirmation. And Pruitt is a tough ass Prosecutor.

Interim AG. So the President could choose anyone. Somebody like Rudy G. could have half the damn government under indictment before the Senate gets off their duff on confirmation.
