“Mueller knows if the republicans hold the house and increase the senate, Trump is free to fire Sessions after the mid-terms and install someone willing to take on the Deep State....”
I wouldn’t put too much stock in this theory that Trump has not been free to fire Sessions. If he wanted to, he would have/could have done it at any time.
Jeff Sessions will still be AG at Christmas time and the haters here on FR will just revise their prediction yet again: “Sessions will be fired the minute that [fill in the blank]”
The funny thing is that eventually, after being wrong so many times, one of these predictions will finally come true (because there is normal turnover in these cabinet positions - it’s rare for a department head to serve an entire four year term) - and the haters will say “See? I told you Sessions would be out!”
I agree. Trump wants a weak AG, he can stand on his neck Tweet-wise, and it gives him a better vector to direct his exec crew to direct the AG's exec crew.
