There was a lot of speculation, even before the Midterms, about the fate of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Russia Investigation.  Rumors were abound that one way or the other, with or without a “blue wave” at the ballots, Trump would likely feel the pressure to deal with Mueller’s investigation, and likely with Sessions, as it was no secret that Trump for all intents and purposes saw the guy as a traitor.  I mean, how dare he do the only responsible thing and recuse himself from an investigation in which he had a conflict of interest?!  To be fair, that moment of responsibility was quite a surprise to most people. But with the House now making it clear that their priorities are to take Trump to task for his malfeasance, Trump moved quickly to start trying to put what ducks in a row he could afford.  People were awfully surprised that it only took him a day to can Sessions.  Frankly, I’m surprised he waited til the next morning.  That’s a level of restraint I didn’t know Trump was capable of.
