Sessions stepped down as attorney general at Trump’s request in November 2018 after being the target of the president’s frustration for months during former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election.
Any Republican President must—must extract a pledge from any applicant for the job of AG that without the president’s express permission s/he will not recuse him/her self,nor name a special counsel, on any account.

Anything less simply invites a replay of the scenario induced by the Morrison v. Olson decision authorizing special prosecutors not actually in the Justice Department. Dissenting from the 8-vote majority, then-freshman Justice Antonin Scalia famously stated that

"Frequently an issue of this sort will come before the Court clad, so to speak, in sheep's clothing: the potential of the asserted principle to effect important change in the equilibrium of power is not immediately evident, and must be discerned by a careful and perceptive analysis. But this wolf comes as a wolf."
Scalia’s was a lone dissent - but history has put paid to the majority opinion, and made his the de facto controlling opinion.
