I didn't care for Sessions from the get-go. He's one of those "so far right that he might actually be a little fascist" types, and not in the sense that particularly whiny liberals call Trump a fascist. He genuinely seems like the type who would set his sights on a lightweight police state if given the chance.

Trump is already five and a half feet under within his own party. Firing his first, strongest ally would take care of the last six inches. Make no mistake: Trump will be forced from office, and it will not be because of Russia. It will be because he does something that pisses the GOP off so much that they finally get on board with Russia.
