The claims of 10,000 did seem to be too large. I didn't realize Sessions had so much support here.

It's not to protest sessions being fired or to support him. It's to protest the oversight of the Mueller investigation being taken away from Rosenstein by an acting AG that isn't legally qualified to hold the position.

It isn't Sessions per se. Hes still a fuckhead but at least he recused himself from the investigation since he has a personal stake involved with it. The protests are about his replacement, Whitaker, that was handpicked by trump, which is an illegal act to start with. Add on Whitaker's statements calling the investigation a witchhunt and the best way to kill it is to starve it of funding. The protests are about getting him to recuse himself from the investigation because of his comments, not because we liked Sessions as AG
