Scaramucci went on to compare the Trump/Sessions relationship to that of President Obama and Eric Holder, but not in a good way:

And we now have confirmation that the president is discussing with staffers if he should fire indpendent counsel Robert Mueller:
Scaramucci to @hughhewitt: On Mueller, I've counseled POTUS, "why would you fire him?"

Anthony Scaramucci also confirmed to @hughhewitt he's advised Trump not to fire Mueller.
