President Trump is talking to Senator Ted Cruz and others about what they would do differently as Attorney General, should Jeff Sessions resign, as reports indicate.

White House sources also report President Trump was truthful when he made comments expressing buyer’s remorse over appointing Jeff Sessions to the role. Trump staffers believe Sessions, Donald Trump Jr, and Rohrabacher aide Paul Behrends were unfairly scapegoated due to the left-wing Russia narrative.

In addition, a replacement for special prosecutor Bob Mueller is being acitvely discussed as the President weighs the decision to fire the Rosenstein-appointed prosecutor. Many within the Trump camp see Mueller as acting in bad faith with the investigation due to partisanship, and are urging the appointment of a truly independent alternative.

Facing criticism as a political witch hunt by many, Bob Mueller has hired a who’s who of liberal activists as his team of prosecuting attorneys. Research on Muller’s prosecutors is being conducted for the administration by Chuck Johnson’s team. Finally, top Trump donors are funding their own research operation independent of the White House in order to push back against the media’s fake Russia narrative conspiracy theory.

Mueller has a strong appearance of conflict of interest for his collusion with Comey and partisanship with his hires.

He needs to be called out to resign or be fired.

You wrote, “He has the same issue as Obama, dual citizenship.”

You said that he *has* dual citizenship. As in *now*. As in his *currently* has dual citizenship.

That is ignorant. He does not have dual citizenship.

Cut the cynical hate toward a good Senator. Cruz-hating is so 2016. The primaries are over. Move on.

So I guess a Cruz vs. Harris 2024 race would be a birthers nightmare.

I don’t think the article says what the title says.

The title indicates that Cruz is the replacement.

The article indicates Trump is simply talking to Cruz for ideas on what to do.

Those are not the same thing.

Is Cruz a US citizen? Yeah?

Then he’s qualified. How many court decisions do you people need?

You’re right. A lot of people jumping off the cliff in this thread. He’s getting advice from Cruz, that’s it.

These e-celebs are cancer. Jack said Hannity was getting replaced too. Anything for the clicks.

That's how I read the headline, too.

Trump needs to ignore Mueller. Read up on the Saturday Night Massacre. That event was the final straw for Nixon. Trump must not even think of firing Mueller. It could lead to his demise.

Instead, Trump should nominate his own Special Investigator. One who will actively go after Bill, Hillary, Huma, Carlos Danger, Comey, Lynch, Podesta and of course, Obama.

And that man is Rudy Giuliani.

I see it differently. Mueller’s conflicts really diminish his ability to do anything but exonerate Trump.

I agree - New AG can get ride of Rosenstein, Mueller, McCabe, & end the Russia BS while keeping what Sessions started on ICE raids, Cartels, MS13 and Sanctuary cities nonsense.

It is juset the turmoil of Rosenstein in charge during the painful confirmation

Cruz would go after Hillary and Unmaskers too I bet. Sets Cruz up for another President run coming from within Trump camp this time in 2024

“The base likes him.”

I am / was part of that base but have been disenchanted with the revival / strengthening of the asset forfeiture law, FOIA requests still on being ignored for Judicial Watch / Tom Fitton,and finally, the marijuana debacle. I have NEVER in my life done any illegal substance but let the states take care of MJ. Also Sessions has assigned same prosecutors who are responsible for Bundy’s imprisonment to investigate the situation. For heaven’s sake!

All in all I am very disappointed in Sessions.

Also, Rod Rosenstein needs to go, I remember a portion of the FreshCamel hack of the encrypted chat with nefarious characters talking about getting rid of Trump. A line suggested RR (Rod Rosenstein was dirty and had placed Mueller in (to take down Trump).
I have tried to google the screenshot but can no longer find it. This was the FR post of the screenshot:
