President Trump Pushing GOP Senators to Ditch Support of Jeff Sessions

The writing is on the wall for Attorney General Jeff Sessions. And that writing has the unmistakable color of pink to it.
It’s blatantly obvious that President Trump wants to remove Jeff Sessions from the job of Attorney General. We’ve known as much since last summer when Trump first started fuming that Sessions had recused himself from the Special Counsel investigation into Russia meddling in the 2016 campaign.

Trump has so far held off – correctly, in my opinion – in firing Sessions because he doesn’t want to spook Robert Mueller and add more fuel to his case, which has now transformed into an obstruction of justice case, rather than collusion. Trump doesn’t want to give the impression that he’s further impeding on Mueller’s investigation, which is something he may have inadvertently done by firing corrupt FBI head James Comey.
