Trump was not allowed to fire Jeff Sessions, which he wanted to do desperately.

WOW. Just wow. The tales are getting taller by the day.

“WOW. Just wow. The tales are getting taller by the day.”

Okay, here goes prick. Next time before you open your mouth, check to see if you know what you are talking about:

from The Guardian: (Trump hater)

Only having fired Comey, Trump could not fire Sessions, too – at least, not without risking a firestorm that might threaten a president who had already demonstrated a strong pyromaniacal streak.

from The Alantic:

“Firing the [attorney general] could trigger unintended consequences such as charges linked to obstruction of justice. I’m not sure it has merit, but it would be thrown at him.”

from The Hill:

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) warned President Trump against firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday amid rumors of a major shake-up pending for the Trump administration.

“I would only answer your question this way unless you push me on it: I don’t think he should be fired,” Grassley said.

“It would blow up the committee,” Graham agreed. “The chairman has done a wonderful job in getting nominees out of the committee with a lot of [Democratic] obstruction, but if you had to replace the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, with somebody new it would blow the place up.”

“This administration’s got enough to do. There are a hundred vacancies in the court now that my committee has to deal with. We don’t have time to deal with a lot of things that are going fairly smoothly,” he [Grassley] said.
