NObody asked me, but I'll bet the mortgage that the President and AG Sessions had a long talk before the President made the remarks that he did.
just cuz it was a surprise to us, does not mean it was a surprise to AG Sessions.

The glaring question, however, is why the NYT? Are we to believe that Trump really is impulsive, that he grabs his phone and shoots off random tweets in the early morning hours? Likewise, are we to believe that Trump cannot exercise self control and vents/complains to reporters from a deep state propaganda organ? One that he has personally labeled 'fake news'?
None of this makes any sense. There are really only two alternatives: (a) it's a 3D chess move; or (b) everything the MSM has said about Trump being unsuited is true.
We all would like to believe it's a 3D maneuver, but if he really did have an emotional outburst in front of sworn enemies, then we're in deeper trouble than we think.

On the surface it appears that way, but you never know. I grew up surrounded by dozens of ministers - friend and family. Some appeared to be pure as the driven snow but the secrets they kept were dreadful.
If there’s anything in Sessions’ background we can be certain the opposition has dug it up and using it against him.

“I’m wondering if Sessions could unrecuse himself since he’s already testified.”.......
Yes, recusals are voluntary & revocable.

Trump hired DAG Rosenstein who works for him in the Executive Branch and Rosenstein hired Mueller. Yeah Trump can fire Mueller and fire Rosenstein. No doubt about it.
Here on today’s CNN broadcast watch forehead and nutbag Begala cringe and shake at the thought as Jeffery Lord who said it on CNN. Forehead Begala knows he can while says it would be a “constitutional crises” [LoL] among other nonsense if Trump fires Mueller.
CNN: “Lord: Trump May Fire Mueller; 7-20-2017” Min 1:35.

Sessions has close to an open and shut case against the criminal Hillary and her DemBot crew and he recuses himself thinking it is some lofty ideal There is a good case for conspiracy to commit and cover up mishandling. But not open and shut. Sessions did not recuse himself from anything to do with Hillary, so if there is a case to be made he'll make it.

There are really only two alternatives: (a) it's a 3D chess move; or (b) everything the MSM has said about Trump being unsuited is true. Possibility three is that Trump is President, thank God, and that's because Trump wins. Trump is still winning as best he can despite the completely unprecedented obstruction in Congress, mostly in the Senate.

Mueller is likely going to get fired in the next 2 to 3 months. Probably not before he has had time to destroy all the incriminating evidence they hold on Hillary and Obama, which is the real goal, destroying Trump is a bonus.

And where are those indictments? Last I checked Bill, Hillary, Huma, Podesta, Comey, Lynch and Obama are still free.
During the campaign Trump specifically promised that he would direct his Attorney General to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate Clinton.

At the time, I thought AG Sessions did the correct thing, recusing himself. The dems are striving to set up win/win situations in everything. If AG Sessions had stayed on, the evil ones would have kept him in hearings and filling out forms about "Russia" forever. He got a late start because the 'pubs let his confirmation be slow walked. But since then, he seems to have prioritized stopping and reversing the invasion of the US. That seems to be going quite well.
At this point, it would be nice if he "unrecused" himself. Mueller is setting up a beyond bizarre fishing expedition and seems to be avoiding anything that touches on the misdeeds of the Obama administration.
I wish President Trump would think this through. I can't imagine who he could get confirmed that we could trust. And without an AG, the swampthings are running that swamp.

Another crime. Hillary while as SoS approved the sale of 20% of US uranium ore, a strategic ore, to the Russians, and got millions $$ in kickbacks. So what federal statute did Hillary violated here?

At the very least most of the donations from the Russians were undisclosed violating NY and federal law. The quid pro quo seems obvious but will be hard to prove.

Conservatives thought Jeff Sessions would be a great AG; they thought the same at first of Chester Trent Lott, Jr., of MS becoming majority leader.
