Sessions weakened his position as AG when he recused himself.
Sessions is like an athlete trying to run a race on a bad foot. By recusing himself, he shot himself in the foot. The DemonRATs are laughing in hysterics that Sessions handicapped Trump’s Justice Department and forced the creation of a special prosecutor. Sessions could have had the Clintons on the ropes and headed for trial. Then, Obama, Holder, Huma Abedin, Lynch and Lois Lerner. Round them up and lock them up.
If someone new becomes AG, does that make the recusal null and void. So the new person could pursue a parallel track Russia to counter Mueller? Or else, Trump could say “thanks, Mueller, but the AG will take over the Russia investigation from here.”
That is a major Washington truth. He's politically finished.
Even worse Jeff Session caved and recused under pressure from that puke Al Franken. Al Franken was one of the Senate ringleaders of this effort, who were pressuring Session to recuse on Russia if he wanted a smooth Senate approval.
