Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been the subject of Washington speculation.
Pundits and insiders believe he is on the verge of being fired.
And Attorney General Sessions got the final word on his fate in one phone call.
Attorney General Sessions’ job is safe.
New Chief of Staff John Kelly called Sessions to assure him of his place in Trump’s cabinet.
ABC News reports:
“Newly appointed White House chief of staff John Kelly called Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Saturday to reassure him about his job security, a senior level source familiar with the situation told ABC News.
The Associated Press first reported on the conversation between Kelly and Sessions, on Wednesday. It follows a wave of criticism of Sessions by President Trump on social media and marks one of Kelly’s first actions in his new role.”
Donald Trump had been critical of Sessions for his decision to recuse himself from Russia related matters.
This put Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in charge of the Russia investigation and it was Rosenstein who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller.
Trump believed Sessions never should have recused himself and that Sessions decision was responsible for Mueller’s appointment.
Trump also attacked Sessions for not investigating Hillary Clinton and for not making more progress on leak investigations.
So many people are asking why isn’t the A.G. or Special Council looking at the many Hillary Clinton or Comey crimes. 33,000 e-mails deleted?

But that storm has passed.
Sessions announced progress on leak investigations and continues to work at the Department of Justice to dismantle Obama’s legacy.
He is one of the most effective officials in implementing Trump’s agenda.
Conservatives breathed a sigh of relief when it was announced that Sessions job was safe.
