What Happens if Trump Fires Jeff Sessions?

On the heels of the FBI raid of Michael Cohen's office, is there a chance that Donald Trump will let his personal anger intercede in the investigations of our federal services resulting in the firing of his Attorney General and Deputy?

If he does indeed move in the direction of firing Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein, I have to ask how on earth that wouldn't become grounds for impeachment?  Firstly, because it is no secret the Michael Cohen has been Trump's personal and professional counsel for some time ("council" if Trump was actually writing this); Secondly, because for the FBI to have raided an office (and his residence, too), it requires search warrants approved by a federal judge.  No judge would approve such warrant(s) without probable cause.  The risk is too great for this to be simply partisan as those who wish to play politics might assume.  Thirdly, Cohen has already said he paid hush money for Trump to Stormy Daniels, which Trump avowed he knew nothing about, thus making Cohen's payment essentially an illegal campaign donation on behalf of a candidate.

If Trump removes Sessions for actually doing the job he's supposed to do, that is arresting people who have actually broken laws, or are under high suspicion of having done so, how can anyone declare that the President of the United States is acting in the country's best interest?  How could any voter, moron or not, take the position that Donald J. Trump fired Jeff Sessions because he wasn't doing his job right?

There is speculation in Trump's anger (which seems to be increasing by the day now) he might do just what I proposed.
