I Hear That The Repugs Are Saying That Trump Will Have Hell To Pay If He Uses The Recess.... [View all]

to fire Sessions and appoint a new AG.

They are making those threats that he will have hell to pay if he uses the privilege of the 'recess appointment'.

I'm thinking that they are idle threats. If they really don't want Trump to use the 'recess appointment' in this manner - they were real effective in preventing President Obama from utilizing the 'recess appointment'.

If they really feel that Trump will use the 'recess appointment' to his advantage - the Repugs have the tools to put in place - just like they did for Obama - and prevent Trump from doing this.

They can stay in session and prevent 'recess appointments'.
