The intimidation campaign of Sessions is a crime in progress
If he can get rid of Sessions, he can install someone to end the DOJ investigation. He doesn't have the guts to fire Sessions (yet). So the tweets and intimidation is all about getting Sessions to quit. Right now Sessions is the only one really standing between Trump and firing Mueller.
Sessions is a vile racist and a Trump-Russia co-conspirator. But he is also the only one standing against Trump attempt at a coverup. It is his duty to stay in the job. I'm not 100% convinced republicans would step up and put in place their own investigator if something happened to Mueller. I have a feeling by the general population would be ugly.
