WASHINGTON — Few Republicans were quicker to embrace President Trump’s campaign last year than Jeff Sessions, and his reward was one of the most prestigious jobs in America. But more than four months into his presidency, Mr. Trump has grown sour on Mr. Sessions, now his attorney general, blaming him for various troubles that have plagued the White House.
The discontent was on display on Monday in a series of stark early-morning postings on Twitter in which the president faulted his own Justice Department for its defense of his travel ban on visitors from certain predominantly Muslim countries. Mr. Trump accused Mr. Sessions’s department of devising a “politically correct” version of the ban — as if the president had nothing to do with it.
In private, the president’s exasperation has been even sharper. He has intermittently fumed for months over Mr. Sessions’s decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian meddling in last year’s election, according to people close to Mr. Trump who insisted on anonymity to describe internal conversations. In Mr. Trump’s view, they said, it was that recusal that eventually led to the appointment of a special counsel who took over the investigation.
Behind-the-scenes frustration would not be unprecedented in the Oval Office. Other presidents have become estranged from the Justice Department over time, notably President Bill Clinton, who bristled at Attorney General Janet Reno’s decisions to authorize investigations into him and his administration, among other things. But Mr. Trump’s tweets on Monday made his feelings evident for all to see and raised questions about how he is managing his own administration.
“They wholly undercut the idea that there is some rational process behind the president’s decisions,” said Walter E. Dellinger, who served as acting solicitor general under Mr. Clinton.

More faux news.
Right. They took a couple of tweets and a lot of speculation and turned it into....FAKE NEWS!
Fake shi!
“Blah blah blah”
Perfect. Lol.
“He has intermittently fumed for months over Mr. Sessions’s decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian meddling”
If this part isn’t true it should be.The lib deputy appointed Mueller who is keeps casting a wider and wider net. He’s out to get Trump and he’s Comey’s buddy. You can bet Mueller helped Comey prep for his Thursday show. Session’s recusal may yet prove to be one of the biggest blunders in history. A Rat would never have done it.Never.
LOL Fugazy
Just watch what they do, not what media outlets say they are doing.
How do they know that? Do they have a tap on Trump's brain? The story is speculative.
First reaction - Fake News.
1. President Trump is very happy with Sessions in the AG post.
2. Trump himself had this "source" in the White House leak this information to the New York Times to make it seem like Item #1 is not true.
A few weeks ago, there were all sorts of stories about Bannon being on the way out...then all of the sudden last week, there are stories about how he’s really the shadow president, making the big decision on the climate scam deal. I don’t believe any of these reports.
NYT trying to create chaos and doubt. Divide and conquer...
The Dept of INjustice is the bottom of the swamp. Gotta get some piranhas in there.
With the corruption so rampant in our in-justice system, it is going to take time to find constitutionally based lawyers who can and WANT to do the job.

I agree. All of that needs immediate prosecutions. But we need to bear in mind that Sessions may have bigger fish to fry. Read on.
FBI, DOJ Raid Huma Abedin Brother and Sisters Home

On June 1, 2017 a raid took place in a home in the 7200 Block of Jonathon Street in Dearborn, Michigan which is owned by a “shell company,” turns out it’s actually owned by Huma Abedin’s brother and sister. This shell company is the Journal of Muslim Affairs. Important to note, Huma worked as an Assistant Editor for this company at one time.
Several FBI and DOJ officers left Washington enroute to Dearborn……convoys of cars descended on the home located at 7246 Jonathon Street, assisted by other law enforcement officers from neighboring locals.
During the Clinton campaign last summer, if you recall, we didn’t see Huma Abedin for awhile, she had apparently made a trip to Dearborn, Michigan. A few months before she left to visit her brother, Hassan Abedin’s home in Dearborn, she was interviewed by the FBI about Hillary Clinton’s lost emails. Upon Abedin’s testimony to the FBI, it is reported that a laptop containing an archived copy, along with a thumb drive, were lost in the mail.
Apparently after it was reported that Huma and Anthony Weiner would be getting a divorce shortly after Weiner was convicted in May, the story takes a different turn, they moved back into their home in New York City. Hmmm, this begs the question, is Weiner still going to prison?
Only 24 hours after the Weiner’s moved back into their home the Raid in Dearborn took place. It is assumed that when Huma left during Hillary’s campaign last summer, she made that secret trip to Dearborn to hide the archived copies of the missing emails. Events now are falling into place.

Unless Sessions is working on all this crap behind the scenes Trump should be discontented. And I like Jeff Sessions.
And it's telling that it was published by Maggie Haberman who is THE notorious outlet for WH leaks.
The President's decision about the Comey firing was kept completely under wraps until after it was done. This tells me that the highest ranks of the Trump administration is perfectly capable of controlling the flow of information to the media when they want to ... which tells me that they're probably the "anonymous sources in the White House" that are behind most of the fake news that gets published in the media these days.
Donald Trump is going to go down as one of the best presidents in the history of this country -- and certainly the most entertaining, by a wide margin.
