He's Catch-22ing himself
Pick a toady and even Rs will oppose.
Appoint a consensus-picked AG? He'll get a lot more pushback than Sessions.

9. Thankfully, not true.....

Senators are planning to continue procedural moves to prevent the Senate from formally adjourning for recess next month in order to prevent President Donald Trump from making recess appointments, when the chamber eventually adjourns through the Labor Day weekend.

7. Unless Trump makes a Recess Appointment

I suspect that Republican leadership in the Senate will not take the actions that they did last year to formally avoid a recess so as to block any chance Obama would have to make any recess appointments.

Trump could act to do so in August - Republicans will make disapproving noise and say how inappropriate it was for Trump to do so, after it's a done deal. That way they can all avoid the embarrassment of having to cast any actual votes at confirmation hearings any time soon.

4. Hmmm, more advice from Scaramucci? He seems to be cleaning house this morning.

6. Later this afternoon...

as soon as he can declare VICTORY on the repeal of Obamacare (Stripped down bill..skeletal replace and most issues unresolved because they need 60 votes to truly take apart the train) but yes...GLORIOUS VICTORY.
Then he will lower the boom on Sessions.
