Attorney General Jeff Sessions won't "last out the year" since he's only been "partially" in charge because of his recusal from the Russian collusion investigation, according to political commentator and author Bill O'Reilly.
In an interview Wednesday on Newsmax TV's "Newsmax Now," O'Reilly also predicted Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Niesen is "going to go too."
The Department of Justice inspector general's investigation of the FBI's surveillance of the Trump campaign may give President Donald Trump an "excuse" to argue "'we need a leader. . . to oversee a total revamping of the [FBI].'"

"You can't have somebody who's partially there," O'Reilly said of Sessions, adding: "He's out anyway. He's not going to last out the year."
And of Nielsen — with whom Trump is reportedly unhappy because of the increase in illegal immigrant crossings on the nation's southern border — "she's gonna go too," O'Reilly predicted.
On the controversial suggestion from Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, that the United States will seek regime change in Iran, O'Reilly asserted he doesn't think that's being pursued "publicly," but that the CIA is undoubtedly focused on that outcome.
"Certainly the CIA is doing everything it can to undermine the mullahs in Iran and that's the way they should operate," he said, adding: "If we didn't try to undermine them we wouldn't be doing the right thing…"
According to O'Reilly, "the faster the better for an overthrow of Iran."
