#REDALERT: TRUMP REPLACES SESSIONS.
This comes the day after the midterms. It's unclear if Sessions was fired or if he resigned.

#REDFLAG: TRUMP FORCED SESSIONS TO RESIGN.
He couldn't even wait 24 hrs to obstruct justice.
Because Sessions resigned instead of getting fired, officially, Trump was able to appoint an acting AG.

#REDFLAG: ACTING AG, MATT WHITAKER, HAS BEEN CRITICAL OF MUELLER.
He will take over the Russia investigation from Rosenstein. And likely end it or strongly curtail it.
Now with more seats in the Senate, confirming a new AG will be easier.

#REDALERT: Whitaker will likely "starve" the Mueller Investigation, not fire him.
The way to end the Mueller probe is to secretly limit his scope, block his ability to investigate or bring charges, AND KEEP MUELLER'S REPORT SECRET, instead of releasing it to Congress.

#HOPE: A statute requires the AG to provide the Chairmen of both Judiciary Committees...
"a description and explanation of instances (if any) in which the [AG] concluded that a proposed action by a Special Counsel was so inappropriate or unwarranted...it should not be pursued."

#NOTE: However, as noted, Whitaker could decide NOT to follow that statute...
"The notification requirement in paragraph (a)(1) of this section may be tolled by the Attorney General upon a finding that legitimate investigative or privacy concerns require confidentiality..."
