Why did we have to wait until midterm for that?
Because Democrats in Senate said they would not confirm a replacement. I suppose Trump feels he now has the number of senators needed to confirm a replacement. Boom. Gone.
Matthew Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Sessions, will become our new Acting Attorney General.
More history of the situation at the link.
Whitaker has been critical of Mueller, and wrote in an op-ed last year that Mueller's investigation was going to far and that Rosenstein should order Mueller to limit it.Ha ha. Kelly Cohen wrote "to far" instead of "too far," a shortcoming of one "o." What? Aren't propositions, adverbs and adjective modifiers taught in Journalism school anymore? Huh?
Imagine if Trump had an Attorney General wildly radically aggressive as Eric Holder doing Trump's more extreme dirty work for him as Obama had. Then the accusations leveled against Trump would have some legitimacy.

If you read Sessions' resignation, it describes the work Trump assigned to him.
Trump handled the political stuff himself, so Sessions was kept out of the limelight and the line of fire.
Whether Sessions was burned out or Trump let him go just to give him a break (he may have asked for only a 2 year hitch), he didn't deserve the treatment he got from from all the weak sisters out there.
