Trump wishes he hadn't picked Jeff Sessions for attorney general
CNN ^ | May 30, 2018 | Veronica Stracqualursi and Allie Malloy

Posted on 05/30/2018 7:43:40 AM PDT by EdnaMode

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he regretted choosing Jeff Sessions as attorney general, a continuation of the President's frustrations over Sessions' decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.

Quoting Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-South Carolina, who noted on CBS earlier Wednesday that Trump "could have picked somebody else" for the position, Trump tweeted, "I wish I did!"

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump ....There are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else!” And I wish I did! 8:47 AM - May 30, 2018

No disrespect, but when it comes to Trump and Sessions your analysis is illogical at best. I’ve read your comments and in all honesty they leave common sense and facts in the dust.

Jmo.

Hah! 24,000 sealed indictments, even if they exist, have no names attached and will never be processed. 24,000 parking tickets would have more significance.

I can’t imagine Trump would fire someone who is otherwise doing a good job, but it’s clear, this man runs the show like any good business manager or company owner would run what he owns.

I hate to see him bad mouth Sessions esp when Sessions supported Trump at the beginning and should be given credit. The man also left his Senate seat. Looking back it would have been better to have Sessions keep his seat, and a different AG picked.

Trump is not there to make friends. He is no respecter of persons. He treats everyone the same. You do a good job, he rewards you. You mess up, he tells you.

Sessions was too naïve and clearly didn’t understand that much what a good AG does is to protect the president’s back.

The DOJ is the political brain and nervous system of the Federal Government. An absolute ally is critical for all “successful” Presidents, if for nothing else than to protect their flanks from exactly the sort of crap we are seeing with Mueller and Comey

Kennedy had his own brother, Reagan had Long time friend Meese. Clinton had Reno, and Obama had fellow travelers and loyal ideologues Holder and Lynch. He even made sure his AGs were black

I’m surprised Trump missed this, or no one told him

OK.

So the narrative I should accept is that Donald Trump is a weak, pathetic leader who whines about his senior staff but doesn't do anything to replace them?

I'm sorry, but I've seen this guy in action for more than 30 years and that narrative doesn't fit any notion I've had of him.

Man! You are as dense as they come. Donald Trump was a political neophyte who depended on seasoned DC people like Sessions, Priebus, etc., to help him navigated “The Swamp.” They failed him about as badly as it is possible to fail someone. McConnell, Ryan and others in Congress also failed him. Are you even capable of being fair to President Trump? I doubt it.

Isn’t it time for you to announce you no longer support President Trump, because he’s attacking Sessions?

The howling Sessions bashers don’t care and are already threatening to split their wrists.

He’s also probably used to a LOT more flexibility in hiring and firing.

Yup. You didn't fail us. You backed Sessions, over Trump.

Nice to meet you, Jeff.

That is the reasoning of a grade schooler. But you’re welcome to it. Anyone who tried to engage could waste hours without moving the dial—a Sisyphian task few have the time or patience for.

“Grassley is the blimp-sized fly in the ointment. He is swamp from head to toe.”

Yes, that old fool is 84 and has been in the Senate for THIRTY-SEVEN (37) YEARS!
Now that Mother Nature has “purged the Senate” of the Old RATs, only the octogenarian GOPers are left. There are only two RATs ( Feinstein and Leahy) in “the Senate Top Ten.” Hatch is retiring, McCain will “be leaving soon,” and Cochran has retired already. That leaves Grassley, Shelby, Inhofe, & Roberts. The Senate is a mess!

It will be a laughingstock.

The AG personnel decision has already cost a key senate seat.

How exactly where they going to do that? They were both Washington fixtures for years.

“...which essentially leaves Rosenstein as AG.”

You mean, like NOW.

Impossible. The Qtards have pronounced that Sessions, the “silent assassin”, is key to Trump’s super duper secret plan that will be revealed shortly, or perhaps not so shortly, but definitely for sure pretty soon.

Trump must be lying just to keep people from figuring out the secret plan, since that is much more likely than the idea that an anonymous poster on 4chan is full of ****.

Thank you for the succinct summary. Bottom line: there are swamp monsters who have been in the Senate way, WAY too long.

Squirrel!

Wonder what topic Trump is distracting the Swamp from?

Right.

Maybe Trump should have nominated an "absolute ally" like Michael Cohen as AG.

:-P

Trump, the howling Sessions basher is ready to split his wrists? Should we call someone?
