Special counsel Robert Mueller is now investigating whether President Trump attempted to oust Attorney General Jeff Sessions from his role last summer, according to a new report.
The Washington Post reports that Mueller’s team is now focusing on Trump’s private remarks and state of mind over the summer, when Trump was publicly slamming Sessions as “beleaguered” for not “looking into Crooked Hillary’s crimes.”
In a July interview, Trump blasted Sessions for his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation, saying it was "unfair" to him and that he would've likely picked another person to lead the Justice Department if he had known Sessions would recuse himself.
At the time, it was reported Trump was floating the possibility of replacing Sessions with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R).
The Post reports that Trump was considering firing Sessions at the time,

Fake news.
>>How did an action Trump did not take, dealing with someone who is recused from the whole Russia matter, of any conceivable legitimate interest to Mueller?
ORDER!
ORDER!
ORDER IN THE KANGAROO COURT!
“We” don’t have time for such questions!
Sessions is compromised.
Amen. Mueller has found nothing on Trump, this is a political distraction and nothing less. The people that SHOULD be investigated are getting to walk as usual!
Well kiss my ....... Mr. Mueller.
Regardless of whether this is hype or truth or somewhere in the between Sessions is absolutely deserving of getting his walking papers.
I guess we should all report to prison for lusting in our hearts.
In other breaking news democrats are demanding Mueller investigate reports that wealthy Russians once stayed at a Trump hotel.
this just shows that he has nothing, and is grasping at straws. What a POS this guy is.
when does the investigation of Mueller begin ????
Mueller must have overdosed on suppositories - I think his brains fell out...
Should have picked Rudy?
(IMHO) I don’t think Rudy really was that enthusiastic about working hard. He has situated himself nicely on the lecture circut, advising, and writing. For better or worse Rudy knows his wants, needs, and desires. The fray of another public position wasn’t worth his blood, sweat, and tears.
And that is this whole thing in a nutshell. If Trump wants Sessions gone, he's gone.
Trump has committed a “Thought Crime”!
I think you are the THREAD WINNER.
The Mueller Gestapo is completely out of control. Insanity! Will this crap never end?!?
(p.s. Do the Qooks still believe Mueller is a White Hat?)
Sessions serves at the pleasure of Trump. Even Mueller knows this. I call fake news.
Mueller’s running out of suspects...
Mueller is not making a legal case but a political one
I have come to believe that Mueller was appointed for one reason: so that the DC Establishment could keep Trump in line. For this reason, I expect his investigation to drag on into the 2020 elections. He may or may not indict Trump on anything, but the Establishment believes the threat is enough to make Trump nominally behave himself (in their eyes).
Damn that Trump! Thinking about doing something perfectly legal! DAMN HIM TO HELL!
When the hammer falls. Major prosecution cases are not built overnight. Especially with the complexity and level of the people involved at senior levels of government as here.
But too many of our FRiends here don’t understand anything about criminal prosecutions let alone an investigation of this magnitude. It’s never happened before and not in our nation’s history.
Just on one front, leaking classified intel; there are dozens of cases under review and investigation.
AG Sessions has announced a triple level sandwich of investigations into the Clinton Foundation, Classified Leaking, Hezbollah Drug dealing and FISA abuse most recently, etc.
Do people honestly think all of this is leading to a dead end? SMH.
The Hon. AG Jeff Sessions has been in the job for only a little over a year. The Kabuki Theater is almost over and the curtain will be coming down.
2018 will be a landmark year and there won’t be enough hankies to wipe all the egg off many faces including here.
If MAGA things are happening (Some are of course) why would they want to distract from it? Not sure I’m down with the whole “3D chess” thing. These our supposed to be professional government officials not entertainers for our drama needs. I for one, am no longer amused at all the shenanigans.
