And here's some analysis about why Trump has been bullying his own AG; Trump's attorneys maybe have advised him this is a route to dismissing Mueller. Oh if this were true...
How Rick Perry could fire Robert Mueller
The Vacancies Reform Act of 1998. This was the heart of what Butler discussed with us.
“The Vacancies Act says that — notwithstanding any kind of other rule, like the regular DOJ succession statute — that the president, and only the president, can appoint an acting head of the Department of Justice to that position as long as that person has been confirmed by the Senate,” Butler explained. “So if there’s another person who works in the federal government whose job requires presidential appointment and then confirmation by the Senate, then that person is entitled to be put in, in this case, as the acting attorney general.”
So, in other words, if Sessions were to resign, President Trump could appoint, say, Rick Perry, the secretary of energy, to be the acting attorney general? “The answer is yes,” Butler said, since Perry has already been appointed by Trump and confirmed by the Senate.

Even better, Lisa Murkowski has ordered the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to publicly postpone a vote on confirming six Trump Interior Department nominees in a signal that she will not take his threats lying down.
The dumbass in chief is actively alienating Senators from his own party.

That's just it, the senators are turning on him one by one. Individually they are weak like a single twig, as more turn on him, as bundle they will form a mighty faggot.

Well, yes, the Trump regime has a whole array and variety of despicables. And, increasingly, they are turning on and chewing on each other.

Prediction: if Sessions gets fired, every Republican will vote to confirm his replacement.

If Grassley held to his warning (and you're probably right that he wouldn't) (http://www.businessinsider.com/grassley-trump-sessions-confirmation-2017-7), not all of the current Republican senators are likely to be alive for a confirmation vote.

To give you an idea of what we're dealing with here, McCain and Graham are part of a group of senators who were just on TV saying that they're going to vote for a bill only if there's an assurance it will never be signed into law.
