WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions tells The Associated Press he’ll continue to serve as long as President Donald Trump wants him to.
Sessions told AP Thursday in El Salvador that Trump has every right to find another attorney general. He says: “I serve at the pleasure of the president. I’ve understood that from the day I took the job.’
Sessions has been publicly berated by Trump for a week, fueling speculation that he would be fired or step down. Trump is upset that the attorney general recused himself months ago from the investigation into interactions between Russian officials and the Trump campaign.
Sessions acknowledges this hasn’t been the “best week” in his relationship with Trump. But he says he and Trump have a “harmony of values and beliefs.”
I did not think I would be living in a surreal world where I was rooting for folks like Jim Comey and now, Jeff Sessions. But here we are.
I hope Jeff Sessions keeps his word and fights hard to keep his job. I also hope he stays on the tightrope while Preshitident Anusmouth-Putindickholster continues to fling insults claiming that the Attorney General is the Preshitident’s serf and his family’s lapdog and water boy. The stage is set for a bigly constitutional crisis.
OK, Keeb, you survived the week. Congrats! Can you survive the 182 left remaining until the next election?
Trump better watch his step. He’s going to have a hard time finding someone as racist as Sessions who will get by the Senate this time around.

Hang in there, Jeffie. Make it work. Because you two sons of bitches deserve each other. Also, on a selfish, personal note of my own, for the survival of the rule of law.
