That isn’t my point and yes you are correct he does serve at his pleasure as do I at my present employer. That doesn’t mean it’s ok that my present employer air its disappointment with me publicly just because it’s “cool” and the “hip” thing to do which is tweet. Fire him I’d have no issue with but what he did is ridiculous and passive aggressive

No, he does NOT serve “as you do” at the pleasure of your employer. And I can’t prevent you from trying to identify the situation that way as you seem to be determined to do so.

However, let’s make your analogy a bit more realistic. At best, the relationship between Trump and Sessions is more that of a CEO that has appointed a senior VP to run a particular division, NOT a wage-enslaved employee of the ABC widget corp, protected by the myriad of legal regulations that have become internalized by the corporate culture. At that level of power, not “employment,” there are literally no rules. And anyone who doesn’t understand that doesn’t belong there.

If you want to take the measure of a man, why hasn’t Sessions resigned in outrage over such public treatment by his “boss?” And I don’t want you to treat that as a rhetorical question.

Really...why does Sessions neither quit, NOR modify his recusal as I understand is within his purview? Why did he not even discuss the action with his “boss” before taking that very controversial public action? And no, I don’t have the answers to those questions, but I think YOU SHOULD before criticizing the President on how he “treats” crucial appointees in his administration.

Certainly, after seeing what his “subordinates” have done with his recusal, Sessions would been eminently justified in withdrawing his recusal and rolling some heads in defense of not just his boss, but the traditional American understanding of what is meant by JUSTICE.
