Anyone think Sessions will be gone by the weekend.

Or do you think he will wait till after midterms?

My guess he is gone by the weekend. I read a tweet that stated Session was at the WH this morning.

Still, I don't see him getting fired soon. Definitely not by this weekend.

Sessions won't quit. If Trump fires him, a replacement has to go through the Senate.

The WH meeting was the group working on prison reform.

Senators have said that they will not confirm a replacement for Sessions.
