Abruzzo has not been fired yet. Best explanation I've seen as to why is after firing Abruzzo, you'd need to appoint an interim GC. But that interim GC must come from within the agency and perhaps they do not feel comfortable appointing anyone within the agency at the moment. So they are waiting until they can get closer to confirming a replacement in the Senate.

We're on borrowed time, so any days we get Abruzzo into the Trump presidency is a win. Thanks for the explanation Matt.
