With the recusal of Sessions, it made Rosenstein the acting AG for the Russia investigations. I am not enough of a legal eagle to tell you whether the appointment of a new a AG would automatically remove Rosenstein as acting AG for the Russia investigations, so that would be the big conundrum. 
If any of this occurred in an attempt to end the investigation and there was not an impeachment vote brought for obstruction in Congress, I would be shocked. I would like to think that even our current batch of elected officials have enough integrity to not look past that. But then again, I know the Chair of the House Judiciary and he is a spineless weasel, so yeah.

So now Trump calls Sessions "beleaguered", some leaks appear... and your Senate will be in recess soon, allowing Trump to nominate a new AG after Sessions finally reads the memo like intended. A new AG that possibly can kill this Mueller thing. Doesn't it start to look like that?

A negative answer could only be "nah, too obvious". Trump always was pretty obvious, though.
Just a question: Would anyone still on "leave Trump alone, look at Hillary..."-train jump said train if that events were to occur as described?
