It’s no secret that Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ days as Attorney General are numbered. The main questions are: (1) How will his exit be handled and (2) Who will replace him.
I have no insight as to the second question. One hears names like Matthew Whitaker (a former U.S. Attorney — and University of Iowa football player — who currently is Sessions’ chief of staff); Alex Azar, the Secretary of HHS (and not to confused with Alex Acosta); and Rep. John Ratcliffe (another former U.S. Attorney). However, I have no idea whether or to what degree these three (and others) are under consideration.
For me, a major concern is whether the new Attorney General will back leniency for drug felons legislation, something Sessions has vigorously opposed. I don’t know the answer to that question, either.
As for the first question, I believe the Sessions exit will be handled badly and without class. According to this report by the AP, some of Sessions’ influential conservative supporters are asking the White House to allow for a graceful exit. What does that mean?
A scenario advocated by at least one Sessions ally, former Cincinnati Mayor Ken Blackwell, would allow him to remain on the job until January and be permitted to resign on his own then rather than be fired immediately after the midterms. Blackwell said allies have made their case to administration officials that Sessions has successfully pushed the president’s core priorities, including on illegal immigration, and deserves some sort of recognition from the White House that “he has more than a passing grade.”...
Drop kick them both over the Pacific atolls
Depending on mid-terms...Move Bolton over AG. Bolton made his bones in DOJ.
Wait until after the election; see what happens. A lot of apologies will be henceforth from many Freepers.
Barry had the perfect one, Eric Holder.
There are many, MANY, hard core Natural Law legal minds out there to choose from who are aching for the fight.
Tom Fitton or Joe DiGenova
But! But! But! Sessions has 1.3 Trillion Sealed Indictments for Obama, hillary and the entire DS. Why would he leave the No Work Job?
"...Chris Christie..."
“I would like to see a mean nasty prick that takes no hostages get the job... Chris Christy?”
Me too, but not that fat, anti-Second Amendment turd! You could kiss your gun rights away with Krispy!
Yea, Bolton doesn’t seem to take much crap, and we need a lot more of that in DC.
50,000 sealed indictments makes me wonder what it will be like after the election. I got to get some popcorn.
Sessions is the best thing he’s got going in the cabinet. If he wants him out as AG, then stick him in charge of Homeland Security
“She’s sharp as a tack, never intimidated, a solid conservative, and reeeeeal easy on the eyes ;-)”
But she doesn’t listen at all well! I don’t watch her much any more because she is rude and talks over her guests. You never learn anything when your mouth is moving. She evidently hasn’t learned that with all that she has learned.
You say that as if you have evidence that those 50K sealed documents, not "indictments", are still sealed.
Too old, and that’s said by a guy who’s no spring chicken.
Without mega delegating, it’d be too demanding on the man.
Now if he was lookin’ to go out in the saddle, perhaps.

His departure will be no problem.
The problem for Trump will come after about 6 months, when the book comes out. Omarosa Part Deux.
Supporting the military with what? With a post name government_bean_counter I can only assume it's an abacus.
President Trump wanting an active Attorney General that would weigh the case on ‘Russian Collusion’ on its merits is not wanting a ‘consigliere’. Jeff Sessions recusing himself because the Democratic Party thugs were making political noise about meeting a Russian ambassador at a party which as a Sitting Senator and a member of the transition team after the election he is fully expected to do was either the hight of stupidity or the most weaselly excuse to enable Rod ‘The Rat’ Rosenstein to stick the knife in.
I find your post to be baseless and despicable.
Forget the best interests of the country, let's concern ourselves with what's best for Jeff.
