From the WP story: White House aides stunned when Sessions didn't resign

It's on Brian Williams.

They expected trump's shaming to have driven sessions out today but he blew them away and stayed on past his welcome. I guess trump will have to try another way to get Mueller out tomorrow.

And if he does, will Sessions, one of Trump's most loyal minions, finally realize that he's been betrayed like so many other current or former Trump associates, and turn bitter and roll on him?

is an Old Hand. He knows how the game is played. Until he gets his parachute packed and his LZ sorted out, he's staying.

he ain't goin anywhere til they drag his cracker ass out. he's in one of the most powerful positions in our government, able to arrest dope fiends, any color of person, and protestors, then take all of their shit in one fell swoop. why would he resign just cause 2 Scoops is an idiot? he's the chief of all Keebler County.

The republicans may think that this would be the best way to save their own asses. If they could just stop the Trump clown circus it may be better for them.

This is my theory why Sessions did not resign. They could then throw Trump to the piranha and get down to the business of cutting taxes on US oligarchs and screwing the little guy while pushing the Christian Taliban agenda.

et tu, Jeffie? Yeeeppp.

Maybe the GOP has finally activated the "President Mike Pence" move.

There's a problem with that plan.

The toadie has to be confirmed by the Senate and Session, no matter how much of a weasel he is, is one of theirs and they won't take kindly to him being fired for nothing.

We're still not 100% certain what he meant when he alluded to that.
