Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” President Donald Trump said given another chance he would not appoint former Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as attorney general.
Host Chuck Todd asked, “If you could have one do-over as president, what would it be?”
Trump replied, “It would be personnel.”
He continued, “I would say if I had one do-over, it would be, I would not have appointed Jeff Sessions to be attorney general. That would be my one.”
Sessions’ recusal in the 2016 Russian interference probe led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.

Pompeo and Barr stand out but to be honest there should be others to make note of when you look at the cabinet.
When you review the facts in this Wikipedia article the Trump Administration has a lot fewer problems than the lamestream would like for you to believe. What a shock.
Note the average time to approval for members. I guess having both houses helped.

Sessions sold out the Nation so he could keep his dream job.
Sessions was the one who selected Rod Rosenweasel
Trump let Sessions choose his deputy
Initially, Sessions damaged Trump but may have helped him in the long run by dragging out the Russia Hoax which exposed massive government and media corruption. As Trump says, “We’ll see what happens”.
Scott Pruitt, Steve Brannon, Michael Flynn...
Exposing the corruption within the dem party has been a delicious aftertaste of the Mueller investigation.
Good point!
Well, not like he wasn’t warned about Sleepy Sessions before he hired him.
For all his flaws, Chris Christie had the Senate pegged perfectly a few years ago. He could only serve two terms as governor of New Jersey, and during his second term he was asked by a reporter if he would next run for the Senate. He said — and this is close to an exact quote — that he would rather drown himself in the Potomac River than serve as a U.S. Senator.
Close.
U.S. Senators, as well as everybody else in D.C., are entirely self-serving. They believe in nothing but accumulating wealth and power. Most of these schlubs are also total perverts, and going against the Deep State puts them at risk for exposure. Any stance or display of leadership is just for show; strategized and calculated.
Sessions probably calculated his support for Trump's election was worth the risk, but his support for Trump's presidency was not.
from day 1..when Trump introduced him, i could see on that guys face...had “swamp” written all over it. This is one area Trump really wasn’t ready...personnel. You gotta have YOUR people in there and ready to go...the swamp were madder than hornets that he won and really went after him.
Bannon and Flynn are not there anymore, are they?
Fortunately M Flynn got an excellent attorney Sidney Powell I believe. Flynn should be pardoned I think.
The other one I don’t know about.
Still, the vast majority are either not supportive or actively work against the President, and thereby We the People.
"YOUR person" would have recused himself/herself if they happened to have had a conversation with a Russian ambassador. Or if "YOUR person" didn't recuse, you wouldn't hear the end of it from the media. Sessions was as much Trump's person as anybody in Washington was likely to be. Somebody who was more Trump's person than Sessions was might have had trouble getting confirmed.
Pop goes the Q. Lol.
I don’t care for the left wing Javanka twins. They both are muddying-the-waters of the Trump agenda. Trump should let the Heritage Foundation make all the hiring decisions.
President Trump couldn’t possibly be telling us what we already know about Jeff.
After all, “Trust Sessions” and “Trust Wray” was ordered by the Qult long ago.
LMAO! Shoot, I had the highest of hopes for Jeff Sessions but he abdicated. Done.
“Sessions damaged Trump but may have helped him in the long run by dragging out the Russia Hoax...”
That does not help, that’s called attempted coup enlargement. It didn’t help President Trump t empower the seditionists; not at all.
I think Trump would like to do a lot of do overs including his first Secretary of State, first Chief of Staff, some of his responses to the press etc. As much as I enjoy him, he can be his own worse enemy at times. But yes, having Sessions recuse himself and bring part of the group that set up the special counsel was really bad.
I’m only half kidding about that. How many of HIS people would you even want in these cabinet roles?
If he rules the way you want, we hear nothing from the same people that swear he is some “compromised plant”.
Add Rex Tillerson, Mad dog Mattie, Kavenaugh, Ammarosa, and a dozen others that have been serious character misjudgements. Needs to start deep state prescreening
During the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings there was an article posted here that summarized the Supreme Court decisions from the prior term. Remarkably, the two justices who voted together more than any other pair during that term were THOMAS and GINSBURG. Go figure. It’s impossible — and unfair — to assess a Supreme Court Justice without compiling a lot of decisions and then looking at their concurring or dissenting opinions in detail.
