I've never understood how Clinton was able to fire Sessions. Isn't the reason an FBI Director has a 10-year term precisely to avoid a political firing? Granted, some charges of impropriety were being made against Sessions, but they struck me as penny-ante stuff, and I could never understand how anybody could think they justified Sessions's firing.

Neither could I. And why was Congress silent on the violation of the law they passed esatblishing the term for the Director of the FBI?
