I have been trying very hard to keep my support of Sessions.
President Trump is not afraid to fire anyone he thinks isn’t doing the job.
So I hold out hope that those two have been keeping quiet and suddenly it will all break loose. I cannot imagine President Trump just letting this blow over. He is too much of a fighter.
I have been wrong many times in my life. I hope I am not wrong about this.
Trump is a pragmatist on the Sessions question. He knows he may need senate support in a coming impeachment trial if the dems take the House. He also knows that one thing the senate is, it is a bunch of good ole boys slapping each other on the back. He fires sessions, he loses support from some GOPe types who with the dems would gladly push him out so the good times roll again.
Sen Grassley told Trump that if he fires Sessions the Senate will not confirm whoever Trump nominates to be AG. So Trump can not fire Sessions, to do so put Rosestein in charge of DOJ. Grassley’s got Trump by the short hairs.
I am not sure that is the case or not. Mueller is still there. Rosenstein is still there along with a lot of others. But it is certainly an appropriate question. Either Trump is OK with Sessions or he is afraid and impotent to fire him. Trump can't have it both ways. We shall see.
