Yes. I am aware that trump likes to deflect attention. Have you ever considered that trump actually is sending a message to Sleeping Jeff Sessions when he gives news interviews that he wouldnt have chosen him if he had known certain facts, and then follows it up with another set of tweets demanding to know why various clinton obama people havent been investigated and prosecuted.?

Do you really think all these comments by trump about sessions and the lack of DOJ action are merely trump liking to hear himself talk?

Here's a exact quote from President Trump's interview with the New York Times last week (he's discussing Sessions' decision to recuse himself) ...

"It's extremely unfair, and that’s a mild word, to the president. So he recuses himself. I then end up with a second man [Rosenstein], who’s a deputy. Who is he? And Jeff hardly knew. He’s from Baltimore."

That statement is either deliberately misleading or is totally incoherent in light of the following:

1. President Donald Trump nominated Rod Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General in January. Up to that point, he was serving as the U.S. Attorney for the Maryland District -- a post he held since his appointment by George W. Bush in 2007.

2. Rosenstein was eventually confirmed for this post in late April.

3. While this was all going on (from January to April), Rosenstein remained in his U.S. Attorney post in Maryland and was included in the group of 46 U.S. Attorneys whose resignations Jeff Sessions demanded in early March. President Trump refused to accept his resignation.

Does anyone here really think President Trump doesn't know who Rod Rosenstein was? LMAO.
