I would thin that if Sessions had any self pride at all, he would resign. I don’t understand why he would want to stay in that job when his boss and almost everybody in the formerly friendly Conservative Media is critical of him. Where the hell is his Pride?

Pride? He’s on the taxpayer teet. Why WOULD he quit? No work\show = ever increasing paycheck, drain on Treasury AND thorn in side of only man wanting to change govt??

There is a very simple way out. Resign Sessions.

Actually there is a much simpler way. If Trump is not happy with Sessions he should fire him. Trump is the boss.

Trump, when he dreams about getting rid of Sessions.

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Where’s the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need.

I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night.
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast and he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light.
He’s gotta be sure and it’s gotta be soon and he’s gotta be larger than life, larger than life!

Somewhere after midnight, in my wildest fantasy, somewhere just beyond my reach, there’s someone reaching back for me.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat, it’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet.

I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night. He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast and he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light. He’s gotta be sure and it’s gotta be soon and he’s gotta be larger than life.
I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night.

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above, out where the lightning splits the sea, I could swear there is someone, somewhere, watching me.
Through the wind and the chill and the rain and the storm
and the flood, I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood.

I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night. He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast and he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light. He’s gotta be sure and it’s gotta be soon and he’s gotta be larger than life.
I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night.

“I think Trump is not firing anybody....”

Exactly.

If Trump were to order Sessions to fire Mueller, then fire Sessions if he refused, then order Rosenstien to do the same, then fire him if he refused, and go through the ranks until he found an acting AG willing to actually fire Mueller - this would be the exact chain of events started by Richard Nixon known as the Saturday Night Massacre.

That worked out so well for Nixon! /s

Yet, that is exactly what people here on FR (who call themselves Trump supporters) are screaming at Trump to do!

Why? What do they think will happen? What do they really want to happen?

Any advice for Trump to start firing AGs and acting AGs, or forcing their resignations, with the ultimate goal of firing Mueller - is VERY BAD ADVICE!

It’s exactly the desperate move that the impeach Trump movement has been attempting to bait him into making, because it worked so well on Nixon. By using his executive authority to fire Cox, Nixon committed the ultimate obstruction and nailed down the lid of his own coffin. His AGs knew it was such a terrible idea they resigned rather than carry out his orders!

This constant pressure on FR for Trump or Sessions to start a chain reaction of orders/firings/resignations in order to remove Mueller - is either trolling or its stupid - not sure which.

Luckily Trump is too smart to repeat Nixon’s mistakes.

Is this a soap opera? Who is in charge?
Is Donald playing the democrats with Sessions as an ally or does he tell Jeff to find another job?
