I think you're correct on both counts.

So Sessions should not be under any state control for pulling the funding.  Right?

I can't wait for them to pull funding in Washington State.  But they will probably go directly to the citizens with new taxes to cover it.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

As long as it's federal taxpayer's money and he's not breaking any federal laws to do so, then yes, I believe it is within his authority to do so.

Well I hope he gets on with it then.

How can you twist that interpretation out of the Constitution?

Amuse me.
