President Donald Trump "has confidence" in Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the White House said Thursday, one day after Trump suggested that he should have picked someone else to lead the Department of Justice.

The Associated Press on Thursday afternoon reported the White House statement, which sought to allay a media uproar that followed comments Trump made to the New York Times

I told you folks. All Trump is doing is lighting a fire under Sessions.

You ‘have confidence’ in A.G. Sessions? Well, Mr. President, you could have fooled me, based on your remarks from yesterday.

Sessions responded that he was "honored" to hold the office of attorney general.

"We love this job, we love this department, and I plan to continue to do so as long as that is appropriate," he said.

"We?" Does Jeff think he's a king? Or maybe he has tapeworms? Who talks like that?

Time for Sessions to “Unrecuse” himself, fire Meuller and co., and clean house.

Of course
he does!

Look, he is a BUSINESSMAN. He doesn't fire people willy nilly. He knows Sessions knows his business. Doesn't mean he AGREES with everything Sessions does.

People (fake journalists, pundits, etc.) who have NO WORKING KNOWLEDGE of how the REAL WORLD works and have this STUPID caricature of Trump as a guy who just exudes emotion and has no cognitive sense.

He has been a New York real estate magnate with properties worldwide for the past 30 years.

He isn't stupid. He knows his business.

Sounds like the trip to the woodshed did a little good. Jeff Sessions is out there all over TV announcing the good deeds he has been engaged in recently, and putting a good face on how the various prosecutions are going.

The boy just needed a little encouragement, that’s all.

... President Donald Trump "has confidence" in Attorney General Jeff Sessions...

So the over/under is 8 days until we hear, "You're fired!".

He plans to continue as long as it's "appropriate"?

Sessions couldn't even bring himself to say, "I Serve at the Pleasure of the President".

I learned not to be surprised by anything Trump says after reading about the remarkable — and sometimes zany — approach Herb Brooks took when he coached the U.S. Olympic hockey team to its gold medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.

I concur and he is setting the table to fire Mueller with cause because of COI issues. There is enough evidence out there for DOJ to open investigations into OBozo and his cronies. Room for indictments and lots more. Mueller himself can face criminal troubles over this.

My concern with Mueller is that He/they are trolling Trump to even allegedly "Obstruct Justice".
Especially since they can't find any real crimes to force Him out.

Really. This situation confused me.

Is Sessions some kind of traitor? It’s a notion I’m getting,

Conway said that President Trump had full confidence in Michael Flynn, too.

After what Trump said in the interview there is no way Sessions can do that now without looking like a puppet

No, our President needed something to distract and this was good. Never look at where he points.
