The lovely and brilliant Dana Perino had a very interesting theory last night that’s already coming true. Kinda.
Here’s what she said Trump might do in order to get rid of Sessions in a less politically damaging way (at about the 11 minute mark):
Now it looks like that’s exactly what some in the administration want Trump to do.
More from ABC NEWS:
Some senior White House aides are encouraging President Trump to move embattled Attorney General Jeff Sessions from his post as attorney general to the now-vacant leadership spot at Department of Homeland Security, ABC News has learned.
While some Trump advisers are pushing for this, others aren’t, meaning no decision has been reached and the president and his team are weighing all options.
It’s almost like they heard Dana and said, “whoah, that’s a great idea!” LOL!
The position of secretary of Homeland Security is now open with Gen. John Kelly moving from that post to become the new White House chief of staff.
Sessions, in an interview with Fox News, called the president’s public criticism of him “kind of hurtful.” When asked if he would step down from his post at the Justice Department, Sessions said he serves “at the pleasure of the president.”
“If he wants to make a change he can certainly do so,” said Sessions. “I would be glad to yield in that circumstance, no doubt about it, but I do believe that we are making tremendous progress.”
Moving Sessions to the Homeland Security role could potentially allow the president to bring in a new attorney general who could take over the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and possible ties to Trump associates.
That would allow his new AG to fire Mueller, which is obviously the end goal of all of this, and shows just how insane Trump is. Just what is it that he’s so afraid Mueller will discover? What’s clear is that he’s getting more and more desperate to get rid of the guy, so you can expect way more drama from here on out…
