“But Trump has been warned by squish GOP senators Ben Sasse and Lindsey Graham...”

Sounds more like a threat.

[Williams]

And now that we know democrats colluded with Russia against Trump, he can call for an end to the Mueller investigation.

[Williams]

Whether or not Mueller should be fired, Trump has every right to an AG who doesn’t need to recuse himself.

Trump trashes Sessions

Sessions stays quiet

Infuriated GOP Senators rush to defend Sessions

Sessions opens investigations into Uniparty crimes

GOP Senators trapped.

4D Chess

[Red Steel]

Yep, Trump can move them around playing musical cabinet.

I started to look yesterday to see who else had a legal persecutor background already confirmed...Scott Pruitt as the article notes. Buh bye Mueller.

[thinden]

Pretty good moves Tx

[gibsonguy]

OK we need to add 3D and 4D chess to our banned for five years from the language list. Would Sessions have to go along? It’s a great idea but I would hate to lose Pruitt at the EPA there must be someone else.

Can the ‘squish senators’ be squashed?

[GoldenPup]

When you go to war, you want warriors alongside you, not pussycats.
As Leo Durocher put it, “Nice guys finish last.”

If ever I have seen a humorless-looking, hatchet-faced person in search of a victim, it has to be Mueller.

"Because Sessions has already been confirmed by the Senate for a cabinet post, those squish senators would have no ability whatsoever to interfere if Mr. Trump wanted to replace Kelly at DHS by moving Sessions into that job;..."

The author seems to be under the impression that no confirmation is necessary if he moves from one job to another. That is not true.

[SubMareener]

Isn’t it much more fun to try to figure out what President Trump is up to, than to try to tell him what to do?

[Disestablishmentarian]

I like it.

Except, Pruitt is so valuable at EPA stopping the socialist/globalist/Satanic global warming agenda. Would need a spectacular replacement there.

[AndyJackson]

Because Sessions has already been confirmed by the Senate for a cabinet post, those squish senators would have no ability whatsoever to interfere if Mr. Trump wanted to replace Kelly at DHS by moving Sessions into that job;

That's total and utter ignorant hogwash. It's a new appointment requiring a new confirmation.

[Cheerio]

Both senators also made it clear they would never allow the President to make a recess appointment for the AG post.

Anyone on FR know how that works? Recess appointments do not go to a Senate that is in "RECESS" - how are Ben Sasse and Linda Graham going to STOP DJT?

[Beowulf9]

What is a ‘squish Senator’?!

[EliRoom8]

Please, Lord, make it happen!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Enough with the “chess” stuff. It had a good run, but it doesn’t explain anything.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I have never heard of the Musical Chairs theory with Cabinet Officers. The theory here is that this can be done without Senate confirmation. I am not so sure of that. These individuals were confirmed for their Current positions and I believe, if the President wanted to move them to different Cabinet positions, they would require re-confirmation for the new position. If anybody out there can provide evidence to the contrary, I would appreciate seeing it.

Get rid of Priebus; Move Kelly into Chief of Staff; Move Sessions into HLS; Move Jay Sekulow into A.G.
