CNN panel agrees: ‘There’s no doubt Jeff Sessions will be leaving’ -- and soon

A CNN panel on Thursday said that the writing is on the wall for Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has been bitterly attacked by President Donald Trump over the past year.

When discussing recent reports about Trump personally lobbying senators to let him get rid of Sessions so that he can be replaced with another AG, CNN's Jeff Zeleny said all signals indicate that Sessions' days at the Department of Justice are numbered.

"There's no doubt Jeff Sessions will be leaving at some point," he said. "It could happen today, it could happen sometime in October, we don't know. The reality is, he'll be on his way out."

Panelist Jackie Kucinich pointed out that, even though Trump might succeed in getting rid of Sessions, he still might not wind up getting an attorney general who would protect him from the Russia probe.

"I think it was Lindsey Graham who said last week, whoever would end up being in that position would have to say they would want Mueller to stay as special counsel," she said. "Now I don't know that they can make good on a promise like that. That's a really difficult promise to make with this president."
