“He didn’t fire Sessions because Congress would have thrown a hissy fit and retaliated by refusing to support ANYTHING that Trump brought forth to make our country better - “
There is zero evidence to back that claim despite how often that nonsense gets repeated around here.
The idea that Trump is or was afraid of offending the meanies in Congress is one of the more laughable ideas ever floated.
Trump never once gave any excuse for his not firing Sessions. That “he was afraid to cross Congress” stuff is pure invention without the slightest evidence that Trump was motivated by it.

There’s plenty of evidence Congress would have thrown a hissy fit. Lindsay Graham told Trump there would be “hell to pay” if he fired Sessions, and that Congress wouldn’t approve a replacement - obviously out of spite. There’s video of him saying it.
Now, since Sessions was obviously either a plant, utterly inept (or worse), the only reason for this attitude had to have been “loyalty” to a fellow Congress member. It’s not that Graham and his cohorts are utter idiots and couldn’t see that Sessions sucked at his job and was doing far more harm than good. They just didn’t care because, as I said, he was one of THEM.
