Attorney General Jeff Sessions on the Hot Seat 

President Trump recently has criticized Attorney General Jeff Sessions on multiple occasions, and there are numerous reports that Mr. Trump is considering firing him. 

According to Bill, Mr. Trump is upset at Sessions for three reasons:

1)   Sessions recused himself from the Russian investigation.

2)   The Justice Department is not thoroughly investigating Hillary Clinton’s ties to Russia.

3)   The DOJ apparently isn’t doing enough to investigate leakers. 

Bill noted that he did not know everything about the president’s relationship with his attorney general, particularly Mr. Sessions’ side of the story. But in Bill’s view, it would be a mistake to fire Sessions. 

Sessions is popular with conservatives, and has been tough on illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, and drug crimes. 

“Sessions is a conservative man who is using the Justice Department to clamp down on anarchy,” Bill said. “And conservatives like that.” 

Bill argued that firing Sessions would also make the Trump administration look weak and would cause a political crisis. 

“It’s almost inconceivable that the president would fire Sessions, put a new AG and the new attorney general would fire [Special Counsel Robert] Muller,” Bill said. “You’re building into a constitutional crisis then, alright just like Nixon did. Do you really want to do that?”

Bill also said firing Sessions would again put the Trump administration on the defensive.

“Firing Sessions …. pandemonium for at least two weeks,” Bill said.
