Fair point, but it will be 2018 in a few weeks. If you’re right, then Trump will waste no time replacing Sessions in the first days of the year.
I think he’ll leave Sessions where he is - and I bet iin a year or two we find out what Sessions was doing in 2017.
AG isn’t supposed to be one of those transparent roles where they hold press conferences and talk about their investigations, or purposely leak stuff. It’s like a police detective on a big case - they don’t talk about anything until they’ve built an airtight case.
We know what Sessions is doing in 2017 because, before Congress, under oath, and under penalty of perjury, he recused himself on most if not all of the Deep State matters.
