President Trump, who levied extraordinary public attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions in recent weeks, has privately revived the idea of firing him in conversations with his aides and personal lawyers this month, according to three people familiar with the discussions.

His attorneys concluded that they have persuaded him — for now — not to make such a move while the special-counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign is ongoing, the people said.

But there is growing evidence that Senate Republicans, who have long cautioned Trump against firing Sessions, are now resigned to the prospect that he may do so after the November midterm elections — a sign that one of the last remaining walls of opposition to such a move is crumbling.

1. Do it now, you orange fool, and see what happens

2. Ghouliani says that he would do it after Mueller does his report.

Mueller is supposed to issue his report before the mid-terms. At least most people seem to expect that.

I assume Trump would wait for that, so he won't be accused of obstruction of justice by Mueller. Then the new AG can take control over the Mueller report and stop any further action with broad powers and a big fight, involving threats or bribes, whichever is fruitful. And fire Rosenstein, too, of course. And the FBI Director, Chris Wray. And all Democrats in the Justice Dept.

If anyone sues, he's got Kavanaugh in on the fix at the S.Ct.

I imagine that's the general plan. No impeachment.

3. Why not just do it?

He's famous for "You're fired!"

But he's also famous for not having the guts to fire some one.
Does it by tweet, or has someone do the dirty work.

Trump - the gutless coward.
