Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Wednesday asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign, effectively firing him.

Sessions' resignation letter has been delivered to White House chief of staff John Kelly.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is expected to remain in charge of the Russia investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller.

Trump did not answer a direct question about Sessions during his news conference Wednesday, saying that on the whole he is "extremely" satisfied with his Cabinet.

Who's crying about it? He's the WOAT attorney general and I'm glad to see him go.

what does this mean with regards to the investigation?

Can Trump fire Rosenstein and appoint his own AG and shut it down?

He doesnt need to fire Rosenstein now, he will have a AG (I assume) who wont have to recuse.

Not really, but I didn't think it would be THIS soon.

That said I am a little concerned about RR, but House Democrats should be able to make sure the investigation goes on.

Mueller's investigation of Trump is going too far (opinion) - CNN

This is a total partisan play, and I want to say I would rather see Sessions stay. This is a move to silence and corrupt the special counsel investigation.

brehs this must be a sign that something big is coming
