WASHINGTON Few Republicans were quicker to embrace President Trumps campaign last year than Jeff Sessions, and his reward was one of the most prestigious jobs in America. But more than four months into his presidency, Mr. Trump has grown sour on Mr. Sessions, now his attorney general, blaming him for various troubles that have plagued the White House.
The discontent was on display on Monday in a series of stark early-morning postings on Twitter in which the president faulted his own Justice Department for its defense of his travel ban on visitors from certain predominantly Muslim countries. Mr. Trump accused Mr. Sessionss department of devising a politically correct version of the ban as if the president had nothing to do with it.
In private, the presidents exasperation has been even sharper. He has intermittently fumed for months over Mr. Sessionss decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian meddling in last years election, according to people close to Mr. Trump who insisted on anonymity to describe internal conversations. In Mr. Trumps view, they said, it was that recusal that eventually led to the appointment of a special counsel who took over the investigation.
Behind-the-scenes frustration would not be unprecedented in the Oval Office. Other presidents have become estranged from the Justice Department over time, notably President Bill Clinton, who bristled at Attorney General Janet Renos decisions to authorize investigations into him and his administration, among other things. But Mr. Trumps tweets on Monday made his feelings evident for all to see and raised questions about how he is managing his own administration.
They wholly undercut the idea that there is some rational process behind the presidents decisions, said Walter E. Dellinger, who served as acting solicitor general under Mr. Clinton.

Blah blah blah
If the NYT says it...it must be the opposite.
Sounds like more fake news to meet democrat objectives to hurt Trump or discredit the administration.
More foul kvetch from the fetid swamp.
More fake NYT. That said, we better start pounding that traitorous do nothing Congress. They have done NOTHING to further the agenda we voted for.
The fear of Gawd needs to be put into them!
“He has intermittently fumed for months over Mr. Sessionss decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian meddling”
Me too. Sessions caved. His lib deputy is calling the shots.
“...In private....”
NY Slimes gossip. How would the NYT have any knowledge of “in private?”
Fake news.
Well, everyone already took the words out of my mouth.
New York Slimes.
This is so fake you can see the partially tightened nuts and bolts on it.
New York Times. Enough said.

Oh please. Reno would do that to block real investigations while she sat on her own investigations forever.
Are we to believe anything the NYT Wits produce from their keyboards as fact?......................
No.......................
If the NYT says it...it must be the opposite.
Agreed... this is the fake MSM intent, but I fail to see how Sessions has done anything to address the Seth Rich, Clinton Foundation, Wasserman shultz scandle, ETC, illegal activities. He may be a good man, but seems to be totally ineffective. The latest charges on the Winner leak is a penny on the dollar compared to whats available on the real players. I have no confidence in Sessions, and I cannot see how President Trump would too.
This is so fake you can see the “Made In China” label....................
About time. I’ve been discontented with him for weeks.
When Sessions first spoke as AG, he seemed weak to me. I could see how if he doesn’t produce soon, Trump could dump him.
Just throwing SCAT on the wall to see what sticks
