President Donald Trump said Tuesday he was "disappointed" with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, but declined to say whether he would fire him or if he believed Sessions should resign.
"I am disappointed in the attorney general. He should not have recused himself," Trump said during a joint news conference with the Lebanese prime minister, hours after firing off his latest missive targeting Sessions. "If he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me prior to taking office and I would have quite simply picked someone else."
Pressed repeatedly about whether he wants Sessions out of his administration, the president simply added that he is "very disappointed" in Sessions but declined to go further.

Or, he may be plotting some really big sting with Sessions.
Time will tell.
(1) Sessions is NOT going to get fired or resign
(2) Sessions recusal was BRILLIANT because it allowed Trump to show America how he was being targeted by the Deep State, and exposed the Republicans as well
(3) Think of Sessions as Police Chief "Moose" during the DC Sniper. He was brought out as a figurehead while the real people did work in the background.
Exactly. the NYT hahahahah I forgot about that.
I can’t believe all the people falling for this. Just a short year and a half ago, the Sessions endorsement was the one every conservative wanted. Now, we are to believe that somehow he is clinging to this job like some kind of power mad politico?
The presidents open hostility toward his own AG does not advance building the wall, repealing Obamacare, reducing taxes and regulations, or MAGA.
It’s stupid. It hurts his administration. C’mon man!
Two years later and most people STILL don’t get Trump.
It’s almost scary isn’t it? How many times does he have to do the same exact thing, and they don’t get it.
Boy! The Left sure are nimble. They can turn on a dime.
One minute they hate Comey, the next minute they love Comey.
Maybe the Comey situation gave him the idea on how to play the Left with Sessions.
Outrageous act by Sessions.
Turned over control of DOJ to the ENEMY.
Now the scumbag won’t leave!!!
Indescribably ticked.
I opine that Sessions is a swamp creature confirmed so as to become an immediate monkey wrench.
Clinton conspiracy? No?
Criminal leaks? No?
Asset forfeiture? Yes!
Rosenstein started working at the DOJ in 1990, and has been working his way up ever since. I’d guess more of a Deep Stater than an Obama guy.
Trumps comments baffle me. If he doesn’t like Sessions then why trash him? Just fire him. And the idea that he’s derelict in prosecuting Hillary is nuts. Trump himself said his administration would not prosecute Hillary.
If he fires Sessions then he’ll probably be stuck with Rosenstein as an acting AG for the rest of his term.
Sessions is fearlessly prosecuting the “little people”,
by asset forfeiture and drug crimes.
Sessions allows the “big people” crimes to go free.
His only success is immigration.
I will say it for y’all, Sessions is a COWARD!
... like all big govt losers.
The problem is that there is always someone under the guy you fire who will take his place and the farther you go into the Deep State the more likely it is you won’t like him.
