President Trump on Wednesday said he regrets his decision to pick Jeff Sessions as attorney general, the latest sign of his growing anger over the Russia investigation.
Citing Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), who said earlier on CBS that Trump could have picked somebody else to lead the Justice Department, the president responded, I wish I did!
Gowdy was asked whether Trump obstructed justice when he reportedly asked Sessions early last year to reverse his decision to rescue himself from the Russia probe, an interaction reported Tuesday by The New York Times.
In comments later quoted by Trump, Gowdy said Trump was merely expressing frustration that Attorney General Sessions should have shared these reasons for recusal before he took the job, not afterward.
There are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else! Trump wrote, quoting Gowdy.
The president has lashed out at a variety of targets as the Russia investigation has moved closer to his inner circle, including special counsel Robert Mueller and now Sessions.
Etc...

Mr. Trump, YOU can do something about your deep state plant A. G., Jeff Sessions. Either take action or quit complaining! He’s your tar baby.
Just step down already, sessions. In two-and-half-years you can go back to doing absolutely nothing in the senate.
Secret Sessions plan?
LOL. Those who believe this nonsense are delutional.
Including Q and the Q-ooks.
Legally and Constitutionally the answer is yes.
But in the current political environment it would be difficult.
The democrats and RINOs know that Sessions is protecting Hillary and the wrong-doers in the DOJ and FBI and don't want him removed.
And that is how the Deep Staters want it.
So they have arrogantly decided that the President should not exercise his prerogative.
That he should not go against their wishes, the Constitution be damned.
And they are lurking in the wings, ready to pounce if he does.
If (when) the President did fire Sessions there would be an uproar in the Senate and the House accompanied by all sorts of public preening,
posturing, peacock strutting and threats of impeachment.
Even if it all came to nothing it would disrupt progress on every other issue before congress.
If Sessions was as honorable as he thinks he is he would have tendered his resignation at the same time he decided to recuse himself.
And even now, knowing that he is not doing an acceptable job as Attorney General, he would resign for the good of the nation.
If he was an honorable man.
His ears stick out but he hears nothing.
It does keep his critics occupied on the subject while, perhaps, providing cover.
But that's kabuki speculation.
I'm taking a wait and see position.
effJ Sessions. I take Trump at his word.
Ugh, plus we lost a Senate seat.
What a cluster.
That is the first admission of an error that I’ve ever heard Trump make.
The whole thing is based on a lie.
Or several lies.
So why not fire Sessions?
“A traitorous rat bastard that stabbed Trump in the back the very day he was confirmed. Now the rat bastard is going to testify that Trump obstructed justice, what a POS.”
Exactly. That’s why Trump was/is forced to communicate with his DOJ via twitter because of that POS Goober Magoo—Mueller’s little step n fetch it boy.
And what, practically agree that he WANTS to be impeached? Rock and hard place here.
I’m waiting for them to explain it too. I knew (Sessions) was baddie a long time ago. Your gut instincts ate more than often correct. That goes for Trey Gowdy as well.
LOL Regarding the Qcooks...everything they say is going to happen next month which never comes. Reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn and the dog.
“So why not fire Sessions?”
Because the GOP, the party of bush, is compromised of rinos and neverTrumpers still itching to get rid of Trump. The fakestream media would turn a firing of an AG or DAG into a nixion saturday night massacre giving complete cover to the repubikans for impeachment.
Ultimately, Trump is going to have to damn the impeachment torpedoes and fire that rat bastard Jeff Sessions...then Rosenstein and Mueller. He’s not going to be able to wait them out...A possible work around is for Trump to appoint a second special counsel to look into this massive conspiracy.
He could replace him but Mitch McConnell said he would not allow another AG to be confirmed.
So who is really running the country?
Sessions did a grave disservice, and his Russian conversations as the basis for the recusal, were de minimus. Secondly, Russia is not guilty of espionage, or Mueller could not prove it. His indictment sucked. So what has Sessions recused himself from? There is no crime.
He could unrecuse himself, if he thought the Constitution was worth fighting for.
