I suspect that's what Cheeto wants now, more than ever -- he's planning to make as many recess appointments as possible next month, with a new AG at the top of his wish list.
Right now he's apparently trying to push Sessions to resign, but I suspect he'll fire Sessions if he can't pressure him to step down.
