No need to second guess Trump. He made a statement, which can be found with even the most casual online search:
Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else.
Sessions screwed up beyond all belief. As to the Democrats, it’s not their decision whether or not a NON-crime gets investigated. Trump has defused their hysteria before and he could have done it then. But the backstabbing tag team of Sessions and Rosenstein pulled a fast one—and their perfidy will be the defining moment of both careers. And a shameful moment it was, too.
You and I are just going around in circles now.
We already discussed the fact that Trump’s public statements are more often than not strategic misdirections - it’s naive to simply take them at face value.
I’ve enjoyed our conversations, but it’s probably a safe bet that we’re never going to agree about Jeff Sessions.
