Should Mueller offer some sort of limited immunity to Jeff Sessions?

Was he following the orders of Donald Trump when he fired McCade?

If so, he should not be prosecuted if he brings that information to Mueller?

I do not believe that Sessions fired McCade on his own volition or schedule.

If it had to be Sessions or Trump gets off, of course, but Sessions is a proven liar, who thinks he'll get away with it.

4. I trust he will if he needs to, and won't if he doesn't

He cut a deal with Sammy the Bull to flip on John Gotti. If he needs Sessions cooperation, I'm sure he'll do what he has to to get it, otherwise he'll bring him to justice just like the rest of the criminals.

5. I would bet money that Trump ordered Sessions to fire McCabe?

If he did, that would be all the proof that Mueller would need to prove obstruction of justice, in my opinion.

There is no way Trump could order Sessions to do anything if Sessions refused to do it. The worst Trump could do would be to fire Sessions.

Sometimes you just have to do what is right regardless of the consequences.

Sessions knows that. He made a choice.

Jeff said, "Now would be a good time for me to fire McCabe"....

Doesn't hardly sound right?
