If he really the twitter comments from earlier expressing upset at there being no prosecution of Hillary, the President himself openly called for that so that is an absurd criticism...if he meant that and it wasn’t a ruse with another meaning.
However, when Sessions recused himself he should have appointed a special counsel himself setting narrow and specific parameters of what would be investigated. Now he can’t intervene to stop the mission creep because of the recusal and not appointing the counsel beforehand.
This kind of sensationalism is worse than the sort of tabloid coverage that Princess Diana got.
Donald Trump has a way of cycling through assistants when they aren’t willing to see things the way he does. He generally tries to make it amicable. This looks like a teapot tempest to me. I don’t even think Sessions will exit as an enemy, just as disagreeing.

Sessions is Ned Stark?
Says a guy named Sundance. Please. Use a real name or don’t bother.
... says a guy named InvisibleChurch?
Great commentary. Thanks for posting.
My guess is Sessions doesn’t see it. Too ingrained in the DC echo chamber. If you don’t see it you can’t fix it.
Very shallow 'analysis'. If this keeps up, many will discover that the dissatisfaction with Trump's tactics here will be deeper than that. Evangelicals and other groups of conservatives don't like this sort of public humiliation and trashing of a well respected conservative of longstanding.
You are wrong. The great majority wants a fight. Not cowardly words with no action. How many times do you have to lose before you finally get it.
Could someone please explain to me why Sessions didn’t tell Trump that he was going to recuse himself.
Lynch and Holder wouldn’t sneeze without asking Obama if it was OK to do so.
This useless guy cracks me up.
Makes good money though I bet.
“However, the subsequent POTUS tweets and comments do not indicate any joint strategy at all.”
Why, then, are the criticisms public? It looks to me like he’s putting on a show, WWE style.
I think the author here is speculating wildly. The whole charade between Trump and Sessions had an immediate false smell about it because it came from an interview that Trump gave to the NY Times — a media outlet that Trump has constantly ridiculed as “failing” and “fake news.”
Can you answer my question on post #12?
This is just tunneled-visioned nonsense, as if all the other executive branch heads have totally cleaned out all vestiges of Obamaism and liberalism in general that have accumulated over many years. I think a case can be made that Sessions has done more to turn the policies of the DOJ around than several other cabinet members.
Sundance got way ahead of himself on this one.
The great majority includes Trump supporters in the entire nation and you have no indication of what they think. And Trump only has put off a small percentage of supporters and his margin of victory is gone.
Can you tell me why, while the recuse issues swirled around the media from late January until Sessions recused on March 2, Trump or Preibus or the WH counsel didn't call those involved together to analyzed the legal issues and make a team decision?
That's how good managers and executives operate.
Wrong. His margin hasn’t changed a single tick. You are fooled. Do not mess with the Americans. We are done playing around.
