Outgoing Attorney General Jeff Sessions received applause from members of the Justice Department while leaving the building on Wednesday evening.

Sessions was shown shaking hands with his chief of staff Matthew Whitaker, who is slated to replace him as acting attorney general, in his publicized exit.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and other top Justice Department officials were also on hand to salute the departing attorney general.

President Trump earlier Wednesday ousted Sessions as his attorney general, after more than a year criticizing Sessions's decision to recuse himself in the federal Russia probe.

Sessions agreed to resign at Trump’s request, according to a copy of his resignation letter obtained by The Hill.

2. Trump wasn't there to see him off?

What a golden opportunity to make it all about himself; Deadbeat Donny is really slipping. I pictured Trump arriving to force Sessions to shake his hand and smile for the cameras, maybe make him say something about what an honor it had been to work for the greatest president ever. Then Trump would produce a steaming plate of fresh cow shit and make Sessions chow down on it in front of his former staff.

And I would still not feel sorry for Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III.
