(985 posts)It's like choosing whether to give up your grandmother or your niece to the wolves, hoping you can hold out until the rescue party arrives. Sessions' policies on mandatory minimums are horrendous. But, if Trump wants him gone, he's probably bucking him and it's the same issue of independence that Comey was trying to uphold. The first priority in replacing him would be to get a sycophant who will follow Trump's wishes with the investigations. And, there would be no reason to believe that Trump's replacement wouldn't pursue the same extreme sentencing policies.
Hopefully, a Democratic majority could take on Sessions after 2018. This is a moot discussion because we have no influence on the outcome, but I don't think dumping Sessions should be the first item on the agenda now. Focus on the megalomaniac that's a ticking timebomb global threat first, then go after the underlings.
