Yes he can fire Sessions at will. Why he has not done so is beyond me.

Well Rosenweasel is #2 so he would have to do something about that too. A month ago the woman who was #3 left. I think Rosenweasel forced her out in an insurance move. Can Trump toss Magoo and place an interim?
In my opinion, NOTHING adds up about Sessions. Doesn’t make sense to anyone watching. There has to be more to this situation; much much more!!
President Trump is no fool and this is huge. The DC corruption is blatant and out in the open for one and all to see and demand justice. Again, this makes no sense whatsoever to anyone watching and listening. Comments anyone?
He naively appointed a senator as AG. The moment he fires Alfred E. Sessions the senate RINOs will rebel and it will be nearly impossible to get a replacement confirmed. I’m afraid we’re stuck with him until we get more conservative senators and Trump’s approvals go well above 50.
Sessions wanted the title, but not the job. So we got an ineffective AG, a special prosecutor and lost a senate seat in the process. What a freakin’ cock-up.
If he fires Sessions, the Senate will balk on any appointments; thus, the DOJ power will return to the Obama hold-overs.
The Prez is sort of between a rock and the hard place, at least until after the mid-terms. Then, he might gain a couple more (R) senators to improve his chances of moving his agenda and appointees.
Between the recuses and buck-passing, Sessions has been a disappointment. Some think this is a facade and ‘things’ are going on behind the scenes. So far, however, there is little evidence of that.

Two reasons:
If he does, Mitch McConnell has said he would not bring up Trump’s replacement nomination up for a vote in the senate. Rod Rosenstein would be the de facto AG
If he fires sessions Mueller would use the Comey and Sessions firing as proof of obstruction of justice and even though it would never result in Trump’s arrest it would be used by the dems and media to deflect from the actual illegality within the FBI and DOJ. After midterms the democrats would push for impeachment which would happen if they take back the house.
By far Trump’s biggest mistake thus far is Sessions appointment. It resulted in a lost senate seat and national embarrassment and it affective left the country with an out of control partisan DOJ and deep state unchecked FBI. Absolutely disastrous
Because what he gets as his replacement is Rosenstein (Rosenweasel), the deputy AG. The problem all started with Session’s recusal—we would not be here save for that action. Sessions wanted it so bad he recused himself as a result of Al Franken’s questioning. That joke Franken is gone, so let Sessions unrecuse himself. That will not happen as Sessions has no testicular testosterone left.
