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.

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

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.
