President Trump likes to talk about firing people. And apparently he’s been doing it again with Jeff Sessions.
Although that could be dismissed as Trump flying off the handle again, context is important. The context here is that Senate Republicans appear to be warming to the idea. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) once said there would be “holy hell” to pay if Trump fired his attorney general; now he says Trump is entitled to an attorney general he trusts. Others on the Senate Judiciary Committee also have given their tacit approval to a change — as long as it’s after the midterm elections. This could be actually happening now.
