It is the plan and so far they have executed it with no impediments. Which leads me to wonder if Sessions is in on it. He is suppose to be a great lawyer but this needs to be stopped cold.
I think Sessions is a good man, and was a great voice in the Senate, but I tend to agree with some of the points in this recent article by Goodwin:

Some of the blame has to go to Sessions.
I say that because of the one important fact that did emerge from the Senate hearing — that Sessions knew almost from day one that he would have to recuse himself from any investigation of the campaign because of Justice Department regulations.
That fact alone should have persuaded Sessions to turn down the job, or persuaded Trump to name someone else.
Sessions said his recusal was required by regulations because he had been a campaign adviser and a Trump surrogate, and the ethics rules prohibit him from involvement in any investigations of the campaign.
With that knowledge, he and Trump should have re-thought his taking the job. But given Trump’s reported anger at Sessions for the recusal — he didn’t think it was necessary — it seems likely that Trump didn’t know about the rules and that they never discussed the implications of Sessions’ role in the campaign.
