Will Trump fire Sessions??

That would fit his modus operandi.

If he thought that would take the pressure off himself, he would do it.

He would then do his best to make Sessions the scapegoat of it all.

Don't be surprised if this happens.

The more they resist, the more they are pinched.

If Sessions were smart, he'd resign this morning.
That's a big if.

which is the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief's way of acknowledging Degenerate Service Against Truth, Justice & The American Way.

have another AG appointment go for questioning now. He'll try to wait this out while he finds a new pretty object for the media to obsess over.

Flynn got canned for lying to Pence and not being a Trump team player. There is no sign of disloyalty from Sessions, so Trump will obfuscate and call the media liars until the next story breaks.

if that's the route then the question would then have to be Why didn't Sessions inform the Senate Armed Forces Committee of his meetings.

That would force the Senate to explain themselves on this.

I'm not sure of that, though. It probably depends on whether he thinks this will blow over or not. I don't think it will blow over, but Trump is his own idiot, so who can say?

but even if he did (or Sessions resigned), his replacement would be just as bad. And it wouldn't stop the Russian story.
