Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the exchange.
Sessions made his position known in a phone call to White House counsel Donald McGahn last weekend, as Trump’s fury at Rosenstein peaked after the deputy attorney general approved the FBI’s raid April 9 on the president’s personal attorney Michael Cohen.

If it’s fake news, it’s a fairly serious slur on Sessions’ character. Should we expect Sessions to handle the correction, or will Trump do the honors?

First the Norks announce the ceasing of missile launches and nuke tests, and now Sessions declares or feigns to leave if Rosey gets the boot. Phenominal week. Now if the Nats take LA tonight I might have a bourbon.

With executives like this it would hard to crush dark state. These are enemies of the very thing we elected Trump to do.

I don’t have a Twitter account, so sorry...I don’t follow the President on it. And if he did tweet on every fake story, he’d never get anything else done. If you’re so hot to know, find out for yourself. He’s probably still playing golf with Prime Minister Abe, or the family’s are having dinner.

What I am doing is pointing out that a stopped clock is right twice a day. There will be no tweet correction of this story—mark my words.

“Session’s long-time friend, Levin, tells Session to resign
True but Levin also said he shouldn’t be fired. Just that he should resign.”
not entirely correct. He said “ I have not said that Sessions should be fired.” different from your statement above.
But Levine makes it clear that he does want him gone for the good of the country!
