Trump said as much today. Said that when Sessions refused himself he should have replaced him. Trump wanted to control the investigation and Sessions cost him some of that control.

Sessions was to head off each - every - all legal problems coming tr-dump's way. And make the paperwork for any legal issues brought by any government agency just poof - disappear.

After recusal Sessions he is rancid, rotten, useless dead meat and of zero use to tr-dump.

the upshot of what's coming:

He's forcing Sessions and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein out. We knew he would do this because when Sessions recused himself, he removed himself from the process of PROTECTING Trump. And Rosenstein has hinted that he has a moral backbone.

Trump will then fired Mueller and the Acting Director of the FBI!!!

Republicans will not stand up to Trump whatsoever.

Martial Law will be declared if we organize protests.

What can we do? Nazi Germany 1932?!

According to the way the Sanction was written...
It appears any release of property would have to be a joint decision made by
Sec. of Treasury, AG, & SoS....

*45 only has 2/3 in his pocket
because of Sessions recusal on all things russian & campaign related...
DAG Rosenstein would have to agree to returning the properties.....

So that makes sense as to why he needs to get rid of Sessions... so he can have 3/3 in his pocket

Remember, he's hit upon the Grand Crusade to justify his paycheck for the next 4 years, keeping the sick and soon to be uninsured free of that devil weed, that wacky tobacky, that horrible filth that Mexico has been sending us to destroy our moral fiber. Yes, folks, I'm talking about REEFER MADNESS. He's going to be like a pit bull with that one, jaws clenched, wattles wobbling, light of sheer zeaotry in his beady little eyes as he dreams about all the POC he's going to stuff into prisons.

He's not going to give that up either willingly or gracefully.
