Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the exchange.

Sessions made his position known in a phone call to White House counsel Donald McGahn last weekend, as Trump’s fury at Rosenstein peaked after the deputy attorney general approved the FBI’s raid April 9 on the president’s personal attorney Michael Cohen.

Sessions’s message to the White House, which has not previously been reported, underscores the political firestorm that Trump would invite should he attempt to remove the deputy attorney general. While Trump also has railed against Sessions at times, the protest resignation of an attorney general — which would be likely to incite other departures within the administration — would create a moment of profound crisis for the White House.

In the phone call with McGahn, Sessions wanted details of a meeting Trump and Rosenstein held at the White House on April 12, according to a person with knowledge of the call. Sessions expressed relief to learn that their meeting was largely cordial. Sessions said he would have had to consider leaving as the attorney general had Trump ousted Rosenstein, this person said.

The POS played a 2016 election scam IT never wanted to win.
IT knew it would end BAD, if IT won. Thanks, Putin!
 
Perfect! Jeff "Milquetoast" Sessions does not have the independent resolve to be Attorney General. He is a good old boy with way too many ties to the swamp. He can't leave soon enough, he's useless as tits on a bull.

Ah, another "reportedly" to go along with previous ones as well as the many (unnamed) "source/sources" the desperate lefty swine regularly "quote."
 
Another far left anonymous source, to push a debunked religious narrative.

More proof the far left does not care about anything except their debunked narratives.

Next they will report that the bust of Martian Luther King is not in the oval office..

Oh wait...
 
Jeff Sessions reportedly warned the White House he may resign if Trump fires Rosenstein

In the wake of the revelations, Trump openly discussed firing Rosenstein among his advisers and the White House drafted a list of talking points meant to discredit the deputy attorney general. Meanwhile, Trump's allies in Congress and the right-leaning media sphere also heightened their calls for Rosenstein's and Mueller's firing.

However, Trump is said to have backed off after Rosenstein told him during a visit to the White House last week that he was not a target of the Cohen probe. Afterward, Bloomberg reported, Trump told his closest advisers that now was not the time to fire Rosenstein.

Ok and so?


And so? It shows that even Sessions, who was the very first Trump supporter, knows Rosenstein isn't doing anything wrong.
No. You may infer that. Truth is, Sessions may be part of the resistance. Politicians do change their minds often.
