Who will get fired / forced out next?

Trump... but in all seriousness, I will take Sessions or Tillerson for the win.
Definitely NOT taking Sessions. Turns out that the GOP Congress are arranging that Congress will technically not go on summer recess and are refusing to hold any confirmation hearings for a new AG this year.
Are we making a distinction among forced out, fired, and quit in disgust?
Daaamn! News to me! thanks. Link?

I saw it on an interview with I think Lindsey Graham on YouTube yesterday. He also said all hell was going to break loose if Trump fires Mueller. He was also going to introduce a bill that would make it so any President would not be able to fire anyone Special Prosecutor without Congressional approval.
I'll look for it.

Is Graham in a position to follow through on such threats? He is not the Senate, he is not even the majority leader. Is is merely one of 100 members, and an idiosynchratic one at that.
Very interesting. Is Graham bluffing to look tough on Trump to moderates only to not not do anything in the end? Talk is cheap, after all.
I think officially they will all resign. I think we can figure out who resigns or is forced out but it might be more difficult to identify those who resign in disgust or for another reason, or more likely a combination their of.

I expect that Sessions will be the next major player to get the boot.
The constitutionality of such a law is dubious. It's conceivable the president could not fire him, but could definitely take him off the case and cancel it. Enforcing the laws is still a direct power of the president, for better or for worse.
Except who's in charge if he's gone? Rosenstein. Or (((Rosenstein))), to a good many of Trump's supporters. Trump may be counting on a recess appointment. The Senate has good experience getting around that. And Sessions is one of their own.
Didn't I start a "Who will Trump fire first?" thread before he took office? I should look for that and see how the guessing went.
I have heard the suggestion that with Kelly now Chief of Staff, this gives Trump the ability to promote Sessions sideways to Sec of Homeland Security, and open up the Ag's position to someone that will play Trumpball.
He could do it but both positions requires confirmation. Sessions would have to be confirmed again and whoever he nominated for AG would also need to be confirmed.

True, but they are more likely to confirm him into a higher position than if it was just a new AG because trump fired him.

Betting now open on who gets forced out next.

I'm betting on Jeff Sessions either stepping down or being moved to another post.

Political ApprenticeThe White House is getting more like Game of Thrones everyday....
Boy was I wrong.
Mooch got the boot before Sessions.
I should stop trying to predict Trump, because every time I do, I get it wrong.
This one was easy. What I like is this is the shortest duration for any White House Communications Director, negative 15 days as his start date was supposed to be August 15.
There are people who believe that the Mooch's real job was simply just to get rid of Spicer and Reince. His presence made both of their presence untenable. And now he can go and enjoy his money.
