Sessions Is Safe at Least Until November Elections, Trump Says

President Donald Trump said Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s job is safe at least until the midterm elections in November.

“I just would love to have him do a great job,” Trump said Thursday in an Oval Office interview with Bloomberg News. Asked if he’d keep Sessions beyond November, he declined to comment.

Trump has repeatedly attacked Sessions in private and in public for recusing himself in March 2017 from the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein then appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel to conduct what’s become a wide-ranging probe, including whether people around Trump conspired with the Russians and whether the president sought to obstruct justice.

Trump also has ridiculed Sessions, a former Republican senator and an early supporter of his presidential candidacy, as “weak” for failing to aggressively pursue Republican allegations of anti-Trump bias in the Justice Department and FBI. Trump has tried to no avail to pressure Sessions to quit, which would open the way to appointing a successor who could oust Mueller or rein in his inquiry.

1. Right, as soon as Democrats are poised to take control of the House

Trump will be screaming "RIGGED!!!", firing Sessions and then Rosenstein, and then Mueller ... as predictable as rain, and we're right back to a Constitutional crisis.

Trump has a plan, it's always the same plan, he puts himself on top, figures out how to loot everyone and everything, says "too bad" and walks away unscathed. THIS IS THE SAME PLAN.

3. Punk-ass fake president wants so badly to fire Sessions, but handlers won't let him. n/t

4. The mid term voters won't let him. He has to wait until after votes are cast

Trump can't do anything now that would massively feed a blue wave, because he can't afford to lose control of Congress. He's hoping Republicans at least keep control of the Senate and can't risk blowing that.

7. Are you suggesting that his red-wave prediction might not have been in good faith? n/t

6. Sessions will be safe unless, say, Trump has a nasty bowel movement and needs to vent.

When will the media stop taking this guy's pronouncements seriously?

He has no integrity and no honor.
