Trump slams Sessions: 'You had no courage & ruined many lives'

President Trump lashed out at former Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Twitter Saturday evening, accusing the GOP Alabama Senate candidate of 'ruining lives' when he decided to recuse himself from the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Russia probe.

The tweet from Trump slamming Sessions is the latest installment in a back-and-forth between the two over Memorial Day Weekend.

“Jeff, you had your chance & you blew it. Recused yourself ON DAY ONE (you never told me of a problem), and ran for the hills. You had no courage, & ruined many lives,” Trump shared, retweeting Sessions’s earlier rebuke.

“The dirty cops, & others, got caught by better & stronger people than you. Hopefully this slime will pay a big price. You should drop out of the race & pray that super liberal @DougJones, a weak & pathetic puppet for Crazy Nancy Pelosi & Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, gets beaten badly. He voted for impeachment based on “ZERO”. Disgraced Alabama. Coach @TTuberville will be a GREAT Senator!” Trump continued.

Jeff should hang his head in shame, instead he ran for Senator.

The President is a lion, if anyone can call out a coward he can. He has the cred.

Sessions is a well-intentioned idiot, which makes him dangerous in any position, including fry chef.

He eagerly listened to 0bama’s lawyers and followed their advice.

Honestly I wish they’d both give it a break. Sessions was an early
Trump supporter. A honorable man. His fault was having been marinated in the “gentlemanly” Senate for too long. When the baying hounds started calling for his refusal, instead of realizing that these were cutthroat bastards who wanted him out of the way so they could run wild, he did the “noble” and “honorable” thing, as he mistakenly saw it.

“I really, really don’t understand what happened to Sessions.”

Events exposed his core cowardice, meekness and submissiveness.

Yet Trump gives Rosenstein, whom he nominated.

Trump only has himself to blame. He is pissed because Sessions wouldn’t be a fixer.

Yo Trump, the AG isn’t your consigliere.

Jeff's world was the Senate Club. He was totally unprepared for the shark tank at DOJ and let himself get rolled by the holdover staff.

He should have had the sense to tell them he would take the matter under consideration, informed the President and sought the counsel of wise men outside the orbit of DOJ and Washington, men like, well, Bill Barr. He had no conflict of interest and there was no need for him to recuse.

But he didn't and Rosenstein's coup was in motion with no adult supervision from day one.

Have the grace to pull out of the race and leave politics, Jeff.

I think, like many other Senators and Representatives, he is in hock to the derp state through favors owed or blackmail.

Read Trump’s tweet. Yellow bellied Sessions ran for the hills rather than face down rampaging coupists at DOJ. And because of that supporters of POTUS were bankrupted, assaulted and jailed by the DOJ while Silent Jeff stayed mute for two years.

Trump has nobody to blame but himself for this fiasco. In his recent interview on Fox News, his explanation for hiring Sessions was pathetic: “He was loyal to me from the start of the campaign and he begged me for the job three times!” If that’s what gets you hired into the Trump cabinet, then no wonder the place was filled with misfits and losers from the first day.

Rosenstein worked for Trump. Looks like Trump was the weak one here.
