Thanks for posting this...I read it and was too tired to do the work to post it.
Let’s think hard on this, deep...Trump interviewed SESSIONS, got counsel, and weighing it, appointed him. He knew what he would do and wouldn’t. I have to think in those interviews, several names were discussed, like Clinton.
Still, Trump appointed him.
So is Trump genuinely angry at SESSIONS, or is something afoot that we don’t see? Or is Trump to fire him after the tax cut stuff is over?
I think there are not many pro-Trump possible AG replacements out there.
“He knew what he would do and wouldn’t.”
No, Trump did not know that Sessions would recuse himself. Remember?
Who let Rip van Sessions appoint RosenKrantz to run the Dept. of Jokers?

Trump had no idea what Sessions was going to do. He was asked point blank if Sessions had given him any indication that he would recuse, and Trump said, “Zero.”
Here is another Trump quote that I got from the Teaparty site. If you need the link, I’ll hunt it up [the quote was on my clipboard].
“Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself, which frankly I think is very unfair to the president,” Trump said in a recorded conversation. “How do you take a job and then recuse yourself? If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said, ‘Thanks, Jeff, but I’m not going to take you.’ It’s extremely unfair — and that’s a mild word — to the president.”
(*cough*) Andrew (*cough*) McCarthy?
(*ahem*) Rudolf (*ahem*) Giuliani?
Ann Coulter?
I think there's quite a list of those who would be a massive improvement.
Trump said the FBI and the Justice Department needed to get off their butts and go after her as he was boarding Marine One today.
Trump said he didn't realize he would have to recuse himself on those issues. IMO, Sessions did not serve him well by not explaining it to him, and does not serve him well as AG.
