On "Outnumbered" on Friday, Fox News contributor and former Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz slammed Attorney General Jeff Sessions and said it's time to "get rid of him."
Some lawmakers in recent weeks have called for Sessions to resign, criticizing his Justice Department for not cooperating with Congress and for leaks related to the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Sessions recused himself from the FBI's Russia probe in early March after acknowledging that he had had two previously undisclosed encounters with the Russian ambassador during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. He said it would be improper for him to oversee a probe into a campaign for which he was a vocal and prominent supporter.
That eventually led to the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which infuriated President Trump.
"He's conflicted himself out of his this," Chaffetz said. "He should resign or step down or the president should fire him. He's a worthless attorney general. ... Let's get rid of him. Have a real attorney general."

Bears repeating, for the "Trump can fire him anytime!" crowd.
Well spoken like a true liberal A$$Hat. Anyone disagreeing with the Sessions BS is a DRUNK. KMA. Just because you are either too stupid to understand or too cowardly to admit it. Sessions has rendered himself worthless. He is a deer in the headlights guy. Will take the credit after Trump fights and wins.
All good businessmen are pragmatists. If not, we would not be waffling on the wall and the removal of O care reconciliation. We just signed off on a TWO YEAR budget deal thereby losing whatever leverage the executive had over a Congress. This sham investigation tied up his hands and the one way to break the log jam is to get rid of Mule head and the DOJ goons. He needs to take it directly to the opposition by being up in their face. If he did, that would be the Trump I know. Right now, we are finessing around the edges and by letting this thing run its course he is doing nothing but buying time for the left by in effect dealing against himself through the extension of time allotted for this fiasco to continue right up into the mid terms.
Sessions is worthless as sin. Trump should have demanded his resignation as soon as he recused. It was a valid reason. If the AG can’t fulfill his full duties, he should not be AG.
The bogus Russia investigation has turned out to be the most important duty the AG had, and he has been completely MIA.
Fire him now!
Sessions is a very poor reflection of the Trump administration.
Chaffetz is not exactly a Trump ally and he did rather suddenly decide he didn’t want to be in Congress anymore, just saying. I wouldn’t put much store in his opinion on this matter, matter of fact I’d put more store in doing the opposite.
Grassley tells Attorney General Sessions his memo doesnt comply with law
Has Sessions memo been published? I cant fine it anywhere.
It was a DOJ internal memo to dept heads to knock off the leaks. Plain and simple. Grassley takes issue that the memo didnt include a proviso for the Whistleblower Protection Act. A silly complaint IMHO.
I’m not a big Chaffetz fangirl but he’s right about Sessions. The buy was a terrible choice.
Sessions is clearly NOT up to the job of AG. Yes, hes a nice, old southern gentleman, but so far he has been a complete failure as AG.
The longer Trump tolerates this obvious big weakness in the strategically key job, the weaker his administration will become.
Cant imagine that such an experienced businessman as Trump cant see the hand writing on the wall about this issue.
Agree.
Agree.
You would think that DonJr. and Eric would have a “comet Jesus “ moment with their dad. They must see and hear from others how awful Sessions has been.
If this is true, then the next third would administration we have (Obama's was the first) can just politicize all arms of the federal government with impunity (like the Obama administration did) with the knowledge that none of them will be in legal trouble for their misdeeds.
Excellent analysis. Not to mention, if a Democrat follows Trump, we should expect them to continue to harrass if not arrest him and his family, if they haven't already by then. Such is the state of our country right now.
Bingo! And the fact that Jeffy even said this, clearly indicates he is part of the swamp, and needs to be removed. Crime is Crime, and needs to be prosecuted! No free rides!!
If Sessions isnt lining up his ducks
What makes a man do that?
—
The prospect of having his name in the papers, and having everyone talking about him. Just plain inflated ego is all.
I am not sure that is the case or not. Mueller is still there. Rosenstein is still there along with a lot of others. But it is certainly an appropriate question. Either Trump is OK with Sessions or he is afraid and impotent to fire him. Trump can't have it both ways. We shall see.
