"YOU said your administration would not pursue Hillary. And even though I personally disagree with Sessions recusing himself, you've no more loyal person. He was the first senator to endorse you. He campaigned for you. He left the Senate to serve you. Sessions is pursuing your agenda at DOJ. And if you think you'll do better, I believe you're wrong. Besides, the Senate has to confirm whomever you nominate."
If you have an employee that you believe is performing poorly, you fire him. Publicly slamming him and then leaving him twisting in the wind serves no one.
Or you make life miserable for them until they resign.
I know how the world works, and I’m pretty sure Trump and AG Jazzy Jeff do too.
Or.... you fire him. Are you telling me the President is too weak or afraid to fire his own AG?
Thanks for the heads. I didn't see his twitter.
Then Levin is wrong to characterize Trump's remarks as an attack. Trump simply criticized the Sessions recusal. Levin also criticized the recusal.
It looks to me like you are telling yourself that in the form of a question to me.
I don’t know what he’s doing, I’m not in his head.
My guess is that he, much like the rest of us, is sick and tired of his AG sitting there with his thumb in his ass.
No Mark you ignorant slut Sessions is not pursuing Trump’s agenda. Asset forfeiture and a war on marijuana is not Trump’s agenda. Thanks to Jeff Sessions weak kneed recusal Rod Rosenstein was able to appoint his good buddy Mueller as special counsel. Sessions has put Trump in a terrible spot. He has to go. You need a real Ahole in that AG position.
I don’t know but that scenario would make for a great movie!
You’re right and I agree.
Breitbart was critical of Trump over this and the commentators are defending Sessions mostly. Especially since after being inaugurated trump said he would not prosecute Hillary and then Kelly Anne Conway has come out today and said Trump was just speculating. Obviously, Breitbart is no fan of possible replacement Guliani.

“Unpopular here, but I agree with Levin.”
It is good to see at least some Freepers have not traded an ability to reason for a front row in some politician’s fan club - regardless how great that guy has been post-election in several respects.
Trump makes mistakes, some really bad ones.
Sessions makes mistakes, at least one really bad one.
Trump looks like a ninny with his behavior. He’s the damn boss. Just go ahead and fire whoever you need to in order to pursue whatever your agenda is today.
Just be a dang man about it. Quit whining to twit world about it. Admit Jeff is a great guy and an unusually loyal party mate. We already understand and are sympathetic to Trump’s problem with the AG recusing himself too easily and too early. He was trying to be honest, but it was the wrong thing to do - especially if he could read the future as well as folks here.
I see absolutely no need for Trump to act like a snowflake and try to make good Republicans sound bad.
And, yes, that goes double for faux-Freedom-lovers and their attitude about the fine man Mark Levin.
Some here are not so different from progressives on campus - advising Levin to shut up. When all Mark does is point to extremely obvious problems a man of reason, such as himself, can find with a Prez who stirs up the “Lock her up!” masses during the race, immediately flip-flops on that after winning, then six months later trash-talks his own fine man of an AG for supporting Trump’s fatal flop on the “crooked-Hillary” issue.
For Freepers like you, still clear-headed, still able to reason through all the winning and whining, consider this...
Who pulled the bigger opening drive boner here, really?
Jeff Sessions. Who was just trying to be honest and was also (in my opinion) naive about how things should proceed in a non-scandal with nothing to find ?
Or Trump. Who flopped over and put the brakes on the investigation of what EVERYBODY knows is real, nasty, long-term, swap-dweller corruption ?
Trump trashed several great people and institutions dear to me and I voted against him in the primary. And then voted for him in the general - the only mature option at that point. Despite him being a jerk in the primary, I can still support most of his agenda, to the extent anyone knows what that might be day to day.
I wish others could let go of their immature anger against any conservative or Republican who did not endorse Trump in the primaries.
Pettiness is blinding.
And rage-based purification of one’s environment is for progressive snowflakes.
Winning is false and temporal when absent from reason.
And we’ve come full circle....
Therefore, fire him. Publicly criticizing him and leaving him twisting in the wind serves no one and only takes attention from more important things.
This President has proved very good at derailing his own agenda by his own actions. It’s very difficult to focus on tax cuts and health care with these types of self-induced distractions.
Why doesn’t Trump just fire Sessions? Why must it be a public discourse for him?
Do you honestly see no benefit in having the media, deep state and elites think your AG is a toothless tiger? This is deception 101 and is used in every war, and trust me this is WAR! Did you see the interview where Sessions was asked about POTUS tweets. He was smiling the entire time, and said he would not step down. Does that sound like the comments from one of the most decent senators in our lifetime? Just 2 weeks ago 2 more countries named George Soros an enemy of the state. Since then, we find out that Sessions is tighting up asset forfeiture laws. I just don’t believe in coincidences like these. I honestly have no inside info, but this same game has been ongoing for over 2 years, and everybody keeps falling for it. I think we just have to wait for everything to play out.
There. Fixed it for you.
Your excuses are boring, and they only serve to enable the do-nothing GOP.
I'm done with excuses.
The President is the leader of the party. If he’s ping ponging all over the place and starting unnecessary twitter fights on all manner of subjects, it certainly doesn’t help things.
So this is just a big act, and Sessions is in on the con.... Got it.
There was a silent coup to overthrow the presidency and Sessions stood by and assisted with his recusal. The coup attempt is still in progress by moles in the FBI and Justice.
His focus on marijuana as a gateway drug is asinine. The Senate ruined him. He wants to play nice with everyone, even those that are trying to overthrow the government through a Special Council that was appointed because of an illegal leak by a Democratic Loyal FBI Director (that could find no fault) that worked actively against the President since day one. Replaced by another Democratic mole whose wife got 600,000 from Hillary.
The Russian investigation started with FISA Warrants, unmasking, leaks based on a fake dossier. What? Tell has Sessions done about this? Nada.
No, he’s not the leader of the party.
The party hates him, wants him impeached, and hates us for electing him.
Much of this problem emanates form us, because we keep electing them, we don’t hold them to account for their lies, and some defend them.
Our government has become the enemy of the people of this country.
All manner of fights need to be started, and they need to be won, hardcore.
“...Sessions stood by and assisted...”
Nobody is more responsible for the fact that nothing has been done about the injustice you correctly point out than Trump.
Donald’s the boss of Jeff.
Trump called off the dogs on the real scandal(s) before Sessions recused himself from the phony scandal. Many thought it was so Trump and the as yet unconfirmed AG could concentrate on immigration - and Sessions has been loyal and effective in that regard.
I don’t know of a law which prevents Trump from firing any of these people instead of firing twit-bombs.
And nothing to stop Trump from telling AG to start investigations into Hillary, etc. With or without another special fishing trip involved.
Who the hell is the Executive here for crying out loud?
( And, yes, of course you are correct and Jeff and lots of conservatives are wrong on the drugs -vs- Freedom and states’ rights problem. )
So this is just a big act, and Sessions is in on the con.... Got it.
More than likely. What other scenario fits? If the most respected senator is told that the guy he supported early on feels he is weak in his positions, why wouldn’t he step down?
Please realize, he and Trump go back years. Sessions asked Trump to speak to congress about the UN building being redone. It is an interesting video on you tube.
All Sessions would have to do is say that he feels he is not the pit bull that Trump needs right now, and perhaps it is a younger street fighter job. He saves face and can go into retirement and enjoy his life. Why would this gentlemanly above board man insist on holding onto this job? That makes no sense whatsoever.
Serious question, why would Sessions cling to this job at his age? Is he padding his resume? Needs the money? Of course not.
