Mueller knows if the republicans hold the house and increase the senate, Trump is free to fire Sessions after the mid-terms and install someone willing to take on the Deep State, including Mueller, if there is an unfair October surprise. Mueller has to wait until after the mid-terms to do anything, or he would be risking the wrath of Trump after receiving post-election affirmation of the Trump agenda and supporters.
“Mueller knows if the republicans hold the house and increase the senate, Trump is free to fire Sessions after the mid-terms and install someone willing to take on the Deep State....”
I wouldn’t put too much stock in this theory that Trump has not been free to fire Sessions. If he wanted to, he would have/could have done it at any time.
Jeff Sessions will still be AG at Christmas time and the haters here on FR will just revise their prediction yet again: “Sessions will be fired the minute that [fill in the blank]”
The funny thing is that eventually, after being wrong so many times, one of these predictions will finally come true (because there is normal turnover in these cabinet positions - it’s rare for a department head to serve an entire four year term) - and the haters will say “See? I told you Sessions would be out!”
Agree. But if the Democrats take the house he is saved, whether by October surprise or just general electoral trends. But my fear is that if the latter starts looking unlikely he will opt for the former.
