Trump did disagree with Sessions without being disagreeable.
This is nothing but more Fake Outrage from the swamp.
TRUMP IS DOING MEDIA’S WORK
This attack on Sessions by Trump concerning Clintons conduct and dealings while Secretary of State HAS TRUMP DOING MEDIA’S WORK. And that’s the way it should be used and presented by conservatives as well the as so called party faithful including those posting here.
Instead FR’s are buying into the divisive direction the socialist globe-bullists are taking this which feeds into their impeachment meme.

Dedicated and honorable, yes, without question. Loyal? That’s where the problem lies...
It was Sessions who foolishly recused himself without consulting—or even notifying—the President who appointed him.
And that's not the only thing, as we all know.
Clearly, you're a big fan of Jeff Sessions. I used to be. No longer.
But is silly for you to suggest that Sessions should be above criticism, or that those who do so are helping the Media.
Sessions should do the right thing and resign...
I don’t think Trump should air “dirty laundry” on Twitter. If he has a problem with someone, then he should calmly and respectfully arrange a private meeting, try to work it out first. I think Mr Sessions did make big mistake recusing himself, no doubt.
The Dems don’t air their Laundry no matter what, they form a rigid lockstep, it seems to be effective.
Now with James Brennan calling for coup, I wonder if Trump will last out this year much less his full term I know I will be publically stoned for saying this.
Who are these republicans trying to fool? The majority of them don’t want to help Trump, they haven’t been helping him and they will look for any and every excuse not to help him. If they think we don’t see that they are fools and they will find out on their next election. Doing what the American people want and what’s best for this country should come before some good old boy’s club. I like Jeff Sessions but this should have no bearing on these republicans doing what they were elected to do instead of some petty childishness like this.
“While this pact of wimps are on vacation in August I would change the locks on the Senate building”
Yes, and the fact of the matter is that our government would actually get something done with them gone. Especially with respect to their “advise and consent” $hit with respect to appointments. Trump could flesh out his team, make “needed adjustments” ( i.e. fire Sessions), and roll through and appoint the entire list of 120 odd open Federal Judgeships. Because the “checks and balances” today are not driven by a selection process that is crafted to assure competency, but rather simply political ideology.
Their six year terms only serve to insulate them from the people’s will.
Trump shouldn't go on public record and say that the recusal was improper? Why?
It's important to set the record straight and that's what Trump is doing. To refrain from doing that is to perpetuate the lies, that the investigation is legitimate and that the recusal was appropriate.
This is about the country. This is about setting the record straight about a witch hunt that is designed to stop an agenda and to remove a president. This is not about Jeff Sessions personal fragile feelings.
I suspect that the Attorney General may very well have an investigation going on, right now, which addresses at least one of the major complaints. The reality is that the correct way to pursue such an investigation is not to prejudice the result by going public before your ducks are nicely lined up.
But even if I am wrong in my surmise, attacking Sessions, who was totally loyal--unwaveringly loyal--to the cause the last year, is unproductive, and plays into the hands of those who wish to divide us.
What do you think the press coverage would look like if Sessions somehow unilaterally spiked the investigations that Comey reported in March?
What do you think the press coverage would look like if Sessions announced it was HIS decision to indict Hillary?
Do you think those events would be a distraction to Trump's agenda, or would serve to advance it, or would just pass as "news for a week" and then be gone? Not to say those are the only options in this hypothetical universe.
-- If he actually did have conversations that required a recusal, contrary to his testimony ... --
That connection (some conversations are the basis for recusal) doesn't follow at all the reason Sessions gave in testimony. Maybe we are not reading the same testimony.
Basically Sessions pussed out, he reacted how a typical career politician would normally react. Trump wants fighters.
Everything would have been just fine if he had simply fired Comey and moved on. He had his Attorney General and Deputy AG prepare clear documentation to justify the firing, and that should have been the end of the story.
The problem arose when Trump insisted on doing that stupid interview on NBC a few days later where he told Lester Holt that he wanted to fire Comey anyway -- regardless of what his AG and Deputy AG had recommended. This put both of those guys in a very compromised position where they had every appearance of being used by the president to fabricate a case for terminating the FBI director under false pretenses.
Rosenstein had no choice but to appoint an independent counsel at that point.
I don't think President Trump even cares, despite all the idiocy he's been throwing out in the media over the last week. In fact, I think he considers the whole thing a great theater act and is thoroughly enjoying himself.
A "typical career politician" would have insisted on staying involved even if he knew damn well that he should not.
Interestingly, it seems like a lot of Freepers are sitting here posting messages suggesting that "a typical career politician" is exactly who they'd prefer in the AG post.
LOL.
Except it’s not Sessions job to deflect or guide investigatory inquiries and move things away from the CIC. It’s his job, ethically, to pursue all matters. Whether it favors or disfavors the CIC.
I would like to clone Trump x 50.

Since the Special Counsel has now turned it into a farce, a new response may well be appropriate. But that it would go in that direction was certainly not clear at the inception.
Sessions pussed out and recused himself from the Russia investigation faster than Hillary Clinton with a delete button. Sure he was professional, a professional politician.
We’ve had enough of “professionals”.
