D.C. – US Attorney General Jeff Sessions submitted his resignation Wednesday morning – reportedly at President Donald Trump's request.
"At your request, I am submitting my resignation," Sessions wrote in a letter released shortly after the news hit.
Sessions' departure has been anticipated for a while, and it was widely speculated it would be after the mid-term election.

YES!!! Shoulda been fired long time ago. He’s spineless!
Hey, Jeff!
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on your way out!
Thank gosh Jeff Session is gone, what a thoroughly useless human being. My gosh, what a shill for the status quo. I wonder what Hillary has on him?
So much political corruption in Illinois and not one federal investigation.
Draining the Swamp
I hope his replacement will be John Sweeney. He was a prosecutor in the Albany area for about five years. He was the executive director of the New York Republican Party for five years. He was a conservative congressman, 1999-2007. In Nov. 2016, he was the lawyer for Trump’s Michigan and Wisconsin recounts. In Jan. 2017, he was the lawyer for Trump’s transition.
Please stop hoping.
Sessions should go back to Alabama and run against Doug Jones in 2020. We need him back in the Senate.
