Earlier today Senator Lindsey Graham provided a pathway for President Trump to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions after the mid-term election. To further bolster this likelihood, Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley affirmed he could now make room for a replacement confirmation in the lame-duck congressional session between the November election and January 2019.
The statement by Senator Graham is a considerable reversal given his prior admonishment that firing AG Sessions would result in hell to pay; and further underlines an increasingly visible acceptance by high-profile republicans that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been an abysmal failure.

Freepers who don't understand how our legal system works would do well to understand WHY someone in a prosecutorial role would recuse himself. It's not what you think it is.
At this late stage in the game even if you fired sessions ,rosenstein and mueller, a report will be issued to congress or the media. A deadman’s switch if you will.
The fakestream media will go to defcon 1. ‘Saturday night massacre—impeach, impeach, impeach!’
The DOJ should have been GUTTED after Sessions first recused himself.
This isn't hard. Fill in the blank.
Then Trump did an interview on NBC with Lester Holt a few days later and made the remarkable statement that he was going to fire Comey anyway -- over the "Russia matter." THAT was what precipitated Mueller's appointment ... because he undermined his Deputy AG right there on national television.
Trump has nobody to blame but himself in this whole thing. For the life of me, I can't imagine why he'd be dumb enough to go on a TV network that he had spent months calling "fake news" and a media arm of the Democrat Party ... and think he was going to accomplish anything for himself or his administration.
And perhaps they are simply late to the party to recognize the obvious. I can kinda see why they may be slow to want to be critical of one of their own (serving many years together in Senate) but to most it’s been apparent for a long time that Sessions is corrupted.
I honestly think Jeff Sessions thinks he’s in control, but the others just run circles around him. They hand him immigration issues because they know he’s passionate and hope they keep him busy.
Yep that ship sailed. That said over last year I can think of 4 instances when RR handed Trump cause to fire or re-assign him and break Muellers back. Hell, he even threatened house members about 6 months ago. Again, that ship sailed.
Nope. Race doesn't start until after Labor Day.
Trump only need the following:
Just a little more patience. Nov 6 is coming.
for some reason it sounds like BS.

Sessions is such a wienie or is it weinie.....
....anyway the Sessions Dog will NOT hunt.
Either Trump's got something on him or he found out that McCain was playing him.
Thanks for the optimism. Not many share it.
“Trump only need the following:”
Yes, but with the possible exception of trying to Nationalize the election Trump will not be be doing the other items. It’s what is needed but I am afraid it will not happen. I’m in the camp that we are at war but I do not see any Trump troop movements. Obviously we are just looking on with horror at this spectacle from the sideline and don’t have any idea about behind the scenes but what we do see is anything but re-assuring.
If Trump fires them (mueller, et al) he can strip them of their positions and take everything he can away from them, and they’d have no way to officially do anything with what they have dug up on others.. and blaming it on Trump.
This is so blantant .. everyone in the world can see what mueller is doing to our President.. and I don’t see any in Washington upset over this turn of events that has never happened in our government before... this is lawless ground. why aren’t more in congress calling for their heads? are they as bad and so see nothing wrong with what they are doing?
obama had a habit of doing whatever he wanted.. the lawless one.. and they just let him.. after a bit, they considered it the norm.. that’s how he tried to change laws and the constitution without a vote... this that mueller is doing is about like that.. he’s been at it over a year and so they let him go on committing these acts. It’s not normal and it’s not constitutional ... If they’d wake up from their stupor, they could see what it’s doing to our country!
One of my senators, John Kennedy, stated that he thought Sessions was doing a great job.
So I decided to email him and tell him what kind of idiot I think he is.
I got by the robot challenge finally, but the computer network was supposed to be down.
The second time, I was prevented sending an email by the robot challenge.
Mark Levin now saying the President must wait until after the midterm elections before he fires Sessions because of the political consequences if he fires him before the elections. He has to shore up his support in Congress first.
Wait, the senile ole’ bastard has not been fired already? /s
