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

Trump’s not alone in his sentiments. Sessions is a complete disaster because of his handling of the Russia thing and he will be remembered as a failure because of it.
“McConnell has said he will not confirm anyone else unless Sessions resigns.”
Trump still has a way to appoint interim AGs without confirmation. Sure, they can only serve maybe six months at a time, but an AG that will do his job for six months is better than an AG that sits on his hands for a year and a half.
If Sessions had any honor he would resign.
‘Trump must be lying just to keep people from figuring out the secret plan’
I think, “head faking,” is the new Q-hotness. But it comes down to the same thing: a semantical sleight of hand used to avoid the truth.
“If he fires him they will not confirm another which essentially leaves Rosenstein as AG.”
Not necessarily. Trump can appoint an interim AG and they can start the job immediately, as long as the nominee has already been confirmed by the Senate for some other Executive branch position. This is the loophole Trump needs to use to pull the rug out from under the Senate’s threats.
An AG’s job is to enforce the laws, not to have the president’s back. The President is not above the law and should be subject to it just as much as any common citizen. The AG is there to be the speartip of the executive branch in executing the policies of the administration in accordance with the Constitution.
If he had any honor or decency he wouldn’t be in favor of Civil Asset Forfeiture.
Is Sessions sitting on his hands...or is he collaborating with Mueller?

Which I guess doesn't mean jack squat, because President Trump (I never tire of saying that) can still appoint an interim AG, correct?
I guess the general idea is that if President Trump wants the Senate to pass his policy priorities, he'd be ill advised to go to war with the GOPe Senate.
Basically, the GOPe Senate is engaging in political extortion, so Sessions remains for now.
I'm confidently predicting that if something significant doesn't come out of the Justice Department regarding Hillary/the Coup/FBI shenanigans before the midterms, President Trump will fire AG Sessions—in a New York minute—immediately afterwards...
Sessions has Trump’s back...in the sense of having stuck a dagger in it.
I’ll bet there are days when Sessions wishes Trump hadn’t picked him for attorney general. Regardless, Sessions isn’t going to quit. He’s going to make Trump fire him, and for whatever reason Trump seems reluctant to do it.
Bingo!! The notion of these many tens of thousands indictments sitting idle, also flies in the face of the right to speedy trials. It would be far more advantageous to parse out or group those that can be prosecuted now, and leave the sensitive ones for an appointed time or until all parties have been identified. Right now, we are seeing nothing but numbers, which mean nothing.
Sessions recused himself from the biggest justice department issue in the administration. He did not even bother to inform the President before doing so. He should not have taken the job if he could not perform 100% of his duties, and he should have resigned as soon as this issue came up. He should resign now.
I don’t know whether he maneuvered himself into the administration on behalf of the anti-Trumpers to cause all this trouble, but he for sure is a douchebag.
The TRUST SESSIONS narrative is dead. One of the original Q-team chan members/bakers has explained the whole thing. Bottom line: they LIED.
Dangling boar tit.
Ludicrous. Next you are going to tell me that Hillary and Huma and John Podesta weren’t really arrested and locked in Guantanamo Bay and replaced with lookalikes to keep anyone from being suspicious!
/sarc
I no longer trust all those trust sessions Q conspiracy stuff. I only believe when I see it. Sessions is incompetent and must go
And how do you know about them?
And they have led to exactly what result?
It doesn’t really matter, because the dangling boar tit wasn’t doing anything there either.
In the end it will be FNN and the Democrats who wish Trump had not selected Sessions. Take it to the bank.
