This is a real dumb theory. You may read up on why Sessions was fired. He was under a big ethical cloud and Clinton basically was giving an opportunity to retire without being fired he didn't take that opportunity. From Wikipedia

Just before Bill Clinton was inaugurated as the 42nd President of the United States on January 20, 1993, allegations of ethical improprieties were made against Sessions. A report by outgoing Attorney General William P. Barr presented to the Justice Department that month by the Office of Professional Responsibility included criticisms that he had used an FBI plane to travel to visit his daughter on several occasions, and had a security system installed in his home at government expense. Janet Reno, the 78th Attorney General of the United States, announced that Sessions had exhibited "serious deficiencies in judgment." Although Sessions denied that he had acted improperly, he was pressured to resign in early July, with some suggesting that President Clinton was giving Sessions the chance to step down in a dignified manner. Sessions refused, saying that he had done nothing wrong, and insisted on staying in office until his successor was confirmed. As a result, President Clinton dismissed Sessions on July 19, 1993.

Clinton did not appoint a Clinton loyalist as his successor. He appointed a Republican close to Rudy Giuliani, Louis Freeh. The firing of Sessions had no effect on the Vince Foster case.

And Comey isn't under a big ethical cloud? Trump hasn't appointed a replacement yet so not sure what your point is
