Have it occurred to you that if Trump wanted Sessions gone, he’d be gone by now?
LOL...what am I saying? You've drunk the purple QOOL-AID and BLIND to the facts.
If Trump wanted Attorney General Sessions gone, his *perfect* window of opportunity is to fire him in late December, after the 115th Congress adjourns sine die.
From the date of adjournment until the 116th Congress convenes, President Trump can recess appoint an Attorney General who cannot be blocked by the Senate for all of 2019. Come 2020 when the recess appointment expires and a permanent AG must be nominated, we will be entering the throes of the 2020 Presidential election, and Senate Republicans will be hard-pressed to pursue retaliation tactics against Trump.
Foreseeing this, it's possible that Sessions sees the writing on the wall, does the noble thing for the party and steps down without rancor. Sessions could call for unity and work with Trump to find his replacement. Sessions could follow the Nicki Haley model of stepping down, and avoid the obvious harshness and symbolism of disunity of a recess appointment when the President's party controls the Senate.
The disunity of firing Sessions and forcing a recess appointment against a "friendly" Senate would totally obscure any messaging of a mandate coming from the 2018 mid-term election, should a "red wave" actually occur. The MSM would totally ignore fake news of a "blue wave" if Sessions chooses to force Trump to fire him and recess appoint his successor.
I can't believe that this is the legacy that Jeff Sessions wants for himself.
