The kebler elf gets no sympathy from me for his current situation, but I find it hilarious. Trump firing or humiliating Sessions into quitting may actually be the thing that turns the Senate against him. If this is how he treats one of their own, who supported him from the beginning, they may actually wake up to the fact that Trump doesn't care for their agenda, their party, or their careers. They might remember that Trump is not a Republican (and when Mooch gets rid of Preibus this will become crystal clear). Trump is probably too stupid to realize that pissing off the Senate is a bad thing for a man in his position, they have their own investigation going and can basically rehire Mueller when Trump cans him, and it's the Senate that will be trying his upcoming impeachment.

The Dems did clue into the recess appointment scenario, so Sessions' replacement will definitely have to go through full Senate confirmation hearing. I'm curious to see what happens with Wray's confirmation, now that it's come out that he's just a flunky.
