In a way, it serves Sessions right to be stuck in a job in which he commands little respect and much disdain by most others in his department. He should stay, if for no other reason than to thwart Trump's attempts to remove him and fire Mueller.

Holder seems to be aware of the tension at DOJ. Something is up... Most of these career public servants are truly patriotic and care about their country.
