No, it isn't.
The AG is a member of his cabinet, and serves at his pleasure.
Witch hunts can produce convictions, still makes it a witch hunt.
And until he actually pardons one of these guys, only then we can ask the question of constitutionality.
And again you’re wrong. It depends on why he fired him. Like the firing of Comey, if fires Sessions to end the Mueller Investigation, it’s obstruction of justice.
And you base that on what legal principle?
“Intent”
For intent to matter there has to be a crime first.
The crime is “obstruction of justice”. If Trump fires Sessions so he can install an AG who will shut down the Mueller Investigation which is investigating wrong doing by the President, members of his family, and his staff, that show his intent to obstruct justice.
ANYTHING that Trump does to undermine, limit or forestall the Mueller Investigation, is obstruction of Justice. That includes the firing of McCabe and Strozk, and attacks on Rosenstein and Sessions, is obstruction of justice.
If Trump farts the moonbats will say it is OOJ.
