They are utterly powerless, likely more so after the election.
And their threat is really pathetic: if you fire Sessions we will block a new attorney general.
So first, President Trump needs to fire Rosenstein, for which Sessions has threatened to resign if he does. Then President Trump needs to find an honorable and loyal person at Justice and name them as the temporary appointment. With instructions for him to start racking up corrupt Democrat heads with indictments that Sessions would never do.
Your strategy would likely result in Sessions unrecusing himself, and becoming proactive, and retaking control of the DoJ, just to make sure no stone is unturned in the effort to take out President Trump. Firing Rosenstein could have the effect of forcing Sessions to show his true colors, and provide further cover to Trump, to finally fire him.
I am inclined to think, waiting until after an election with an unknown outcome, could find Trump with an even more hostile Congress to get his nominations through.
The naysayers against firing Sessions, have been warning Trump since the day Sessions recused himself. But if President Trump had fired Sessions the day after Sessions recused himself, the president could have more legitimately claimed his delegation of executive authority and agenda had been fundamentally impaired by the recusal, further claiming his desire and policy of investigating all foreign influence to undermine American elections.
It is much more complicated now than in the beginning. The election is much closer now.
However, “IF” Trump could have replaced sessions very early on, it would not have seemed so political as it seems now, and a possible replacement would have likely taken a proactive role in seeing to it, this investigation was at least carried out against both sides. In this scenario, we would still have a real political war being waged by the anti-American left, but it is much more likely we would have already had an undeniable tidal wave of illegalities being brought into the open, showing the total fraud of this partial foreign derived dossier, illegal use of our most powerful Intel and policing organizations, being used to subjugate the will of the American electorate against their will. The daily deluge of this type of information, would have greatly altered or changed the narrative we now have. And this information would be so damming, the sin of Trump firing Sessions would have been at least neutralized.
I can at least wish it had all gone down in some similar fashion anyway.

Exactly...Get a real bulldog in there and then watch Congress chomp at the bit to get someone appointed...
