Trump May Soon Fire Jeff Sessions

https://politicalwire.com/2018/03/14/trump-may-soon-fire-jeff-sessions/

"SNIP......

Sources tell Vanity Fair that President Trump has discussed a plan to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“According to two Republicans in regular contact with the White House, there have been talks that Trump could replace Sessions with E.P.A. Administrator Scott Pruitt, who would not be recused from overseeing the Russia probe. Also, because Pruitt is already a Cabinet secretary, he would not have to go through another Senate confirmation hearing.”

You know it won't be Donald taking the blame for another Republican own goal.

Man, Virginia, Alabama, Pennsylvania. It just keeps getting worse and worse for Trump and his Republican buddies. They're really floundering. Anyone got an anchor we can toss to them?

Trump is like a bad dream...how he sold half the country on being a shrewd season professional is laughable.

I don't know who is worse Pruitt, Sessions or if it even matters at this point.

They all have to go! Incompetence on pararde

scheme was mentioned. At that time, the lawyer stated that this would be grounds for Obstruction of Justice charges to be filed against Trump because his motives, to get rid of the Special Counsel by firing and replacing the Atty General, are transparent.

Mueller's going to charge him with Obstruction Twice?

I don't think Drumpf has much fear of being charged with obstruction. I think he intends to fight any charge up to the Supreme Court, and perhaps pardon a bunch of his buddies along the way.

He is paranoid and attempting to surround himself with sycophants that will protect him from the long arm of the law.
