Hold my beer Q, let me explain this one (with greatest respect of course):

Explanation article here from 30 August 2018: Trump firing Jeff Sessions looks more likely than ever

 

Of note:

 

There would be two main dominoes to fall after Sessions resigns or is removed:

 

1) Trump may pick an acting attorney general, and …

2) He would nominate a full-time replacement, who would be subject to confirmation.

 

Getting to that point, though, will require clearing several hurdles:

 

"The first is whether Trump can even pick an acting AG"……"whether the Federal Vacancies Reform Act allows a president to temporarily replace a Cabinet official he has fired - as opposed to one who has resigned."

 

"If Sessions forces Trump to fire him, there could be a legal battle over Trump's authority to pick a temporary replacement who would outrank Rosenstein."

 

"Whomever Trump appoints as a so-called acting AG in the short term will probably have greater practical significance than whom he nominates for Senate confirmation," Lederman said.

 

Because of the closeness of the Senate (This was pre the Midterms) - "Senator Susan Collins, (R), has said she doesn't think a new AG will even be confirmed if Trump fires Sessions."

Sessions role was always to be a lame duck so that no one would notice all that was going on in the background. Why didn't he do anything? Because he cant. Why doesn't Trump fire him? "Because he is insane - Orange man bad etc"

 

Sessions had to be the unfortunate bumbling idiot, sitting there rubbing his hands all the way up to……..the Midterms when Trump could secure the Senate and therefore the next step of investigation.
