President Donald Trump has been formulating a plan to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Vanity Fair reported on Wednesday. Sessions has been a target of Trump's ire since he recused himself from the FBI's Russia investigation last March, following reports that he was not forthcoming during his Senate confirmation hearing about his contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign season. Sessions' recusal is a key point of frustration for Trump, who once reportedly asked why he couldn't order "my guys" at the "Trump Justice Department" to do what"weak" and McCabe, whom Trump described as "a Comey friend who McCabe was forced out of the FBI earlier this year amid an internal investigation into his handling of the Clinton email probe. On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Sessions is weighing whether or not to fire McCabe over his alleged misconduct days before he's set to retire. Trump's tweets last summer came after he admitted, during an interview with The Times the previous week, that he would not have nominated Sessions to be attorney general if he had known Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia investigation. "Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody else," Trump told the outlet. Sessions said this weekend that he believes he made the right decision by stepping aside from the DOJ's Russia investigation. The special counsel Robert Mueller is believed to be focusing on the time period last summer when Trump ramped up his attempts to pressure Sessions to carry out his suggestions. That inquiry makes up one thread of Mueller's investigation into whether Trump sought to obstruct justice when he fired FBI director James Comey last May.

Do IT!
believe it when I see it about Sessions
Oh please, please, PLEASE just fire the no-show, taking up space Sessions; should have been done the day after the president took the oath of office!
He’s dignified and grandfatherly.
And the WRONG MAN for the job.
Breaks my heart cuz I loved him to bits as a Senator.
But, yeah.
Jeff Sessions has been AG ro1 year, 1 month, 5 days.
*for*
Good. Get TF rid of him.
I had such hopes for Sessions, but he is either being blackmailed or is paralyzed with fear over becoming a lightning rod for liberals and swamp types.
I hear the argument that he is meticulous and cautious, but...he’s been in the job for over a year, has let that vile Lois Lerner skate and has publicly supported Rod Rosenstein. He’s done little to nothing about corruption at the highest levels. Hillary leaked classified info, Comey leaked classified info and on an on. There comes a time when one must produce results.
i guess his dream was being an alcoholic enema nozzle
a. Business Insider is a bunch of Never Trumpers. *SPIT*
b. Congress will be DICKS about confirming ANYONE that’s the least little bit RIGHT of Sessions.
c. We’ll be without ANY AG until 2018 which gives 0bama and Crew (and Hillary!) enough time to stash cash overseas and disappear...which is pretty much the plan, already!
d. Any questions?
‘bout time.
Fire Rosenweasel first.
These bozos don't understand how Trump operates -- at all...
Rudolph Giuliani should have been appointed on day one. Sessions is a pussy.
Sessions did shaft Trump by recusing himself from the Russia issue. And he has done nothing of consequence. He will be canned...soon is my guess.
He hired the man, he should be able to fire the man without having to “float a plan”.
