Clinton had to fire Sessions before Vince Foster was murdered on 20 July 1993, else the FBI would have conducted the investigation, not the Park Police, and the autopsy would not have been an 84 year-old, performing his first autopsy.

I think the firing of an FBI Director has to be for cause and I would say the Sessions firing was. We all know that would apply to Comey but I’m sure the law would see it differently. I can’t imagine he’d want to hang around in Trump’s administration but we never expected he’d make the decisions he made about Hillary either. Should be interesting...
