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.

Le Fake News
OMG, do it already along with EVERY stinking Obama excrement leftover! Drain the Swamp completely and get true MAGA moving albeit a year late. Silly season is over. Screw Clinton, Obama and the POS Media. Send Soros a Hellfire hello.
Pure bullshit. Sessions isn’t going anywhere. I don’t care how you meanie-old FReepers spin it.
not if turtle gets rid of the sixty to cloture rule.
He didn’t shaft anyone.
Thanks Diana! Fellow WI BUMP. I’ll have a Spotted Cow for you!
hire someone who will arrest law violators and not take every crime committed to civil court
If we had two Mike Pompeos, we could jettison both Rex and Jeff and move one Pompeo to State and one Pompeo to the DOJ.
Hope he fires No. 2 Rosenstein, and more people, until he reaches a true patriot up to the task.
Trump’s poll numbers are on the rise...Damn the impeachment torpedoes and pull the plug on this southern-fried deep-state compromised rat bastard.
Well, he didn't shoot himself twice in the back of his head, so yes.
As Macca sang;”Let It Be”.
This man is stepping into too many buckets.
One unforced error in judgement after another.
Here's hoping FISC Rod and Jeff share many more meals at DOJ.
What is an unforced error ?
Another step closer to the war cabinet.
We live in interesting times.
If Tillerson got fired, Sessions is not far behind.
Like Shia LaBeouf would say...
Hope so. Wish he could float a plan to fire Paul Ryan and McConnell.
