President Trump’s decision Tuesday to attack Attorney General Jeff Sessions over Sessions’ “position” on Hillary Clinton’s various scandals only serves to highlight Trump’s own hypocrisy on the issue — and is likely to fuel concerns from his base who see Sessions at the best hope to fulfill Trump’s immigration policies.
Trump’s attack is the latest in a series of shots Trump has launched at Sessions in recent days, annoyed still over Sessions’ decision to recuse himself from Russia investigations in March. But Trump himself was the one who flip-flopped on whether to prosecute Clinton.

It isn’t Trump’s job to prosecute felons.
It’s Session’s job.
Trump has not cleaned house of the Obama loyalists. He is instead attacking Republicans.
He works for President Trump.
True enough. Trump said it shortly after the election. That he wouldn’t pursue “locking her up”.
I was disappointed at the time.
I cringed at what he’s doing to Sessions. Call him in for a talk, don’t keep doing this.
The sad thing is, the deep state has boxed Trump in to such an extent that he can’t have a conversation with his AG without someone screaming that it is obstruction and wanting a transcript of the conversation.
Trump is feeling trapped and when he feels trapped he lashes out.
Folks you can read my prior posts to know I am a 100% even rabid Trump supporter. IMHO the president ultimately is hiding something, and we are going to lose him because he has no allies in Congress. I’m sorry to say this, believe me.
It doesn’t look to me like he works at all.
Trump shouldn’t be castigating Sessions publicly like this. If he has a problem with Sessions’ job performance, he should address it privately.
Wow this thread brought out the never Trumpers and Trump mind readers in force! Let’s criticize Trump because Hillary would have been so much better is that right? Grief!
Trump supporter and Sessions supporter.
Trump is prodding Sessions to get his ass in gear or be gone.
Good advice. Many here are concerned about no action on many issues.
What I have read about Sessions are:
Marijuana laws
Asset forfeiture
Praising Bundy prosecutors
Maybe the asset forfeiture is tied to MS-13 and illegal aliens, but these are not why Trump was elected.
He needs to get his priorities straight.
Praising Bundy prosecutors? Seriously, Jeff?
Presidents have always set priorities for the executive departments including the DOJ. Trump decided that his DOJ should not pursue a further investigation of the Clintons.
Trump decided that!
Trump is a Second Amendment president but Sessions does not defend the 2A because he won’t let defendants in criminal trials use it like the folks in Nevada being tried over the standoff near Bundy Ranch in 2014.
FIRE THE ACTING US ATTORNEY IN VEGAS STEVEN MYHRE, FIRE JEFF SESSIONS FOR PRAISING THIS FASCIST PROSECUTOR
I hope you are wrong.
I want to say this is all 3D chess before our very eyes but attacking Sessions, new communications director, new legal team does not seem like being ahead of the curve. He’s very smart I believe he will turn it around.
I keep thinking this Sessions tension is intended to somehow flush out a secret Hillary pardon, laying groundwork for don jr to take fall and get pardoned.
Must be wonderful to be able to assign motives to the presidents actions. You must know much we don’t. Perhaps you should applie for a position inside the Administration?
I’m not going to make the mistake of second-guessing Trump’s political instincts. If he thinks that publicly slamming someone is a good idea, then I say he should run with it.
What frustrates me is that Sessions was require BY LAW to recuse himself from anything involving the campaign. Trump should not be attacking him for something he had no choice over.
Trump decided that!He tried playing nice. It didn't work...He changed his mind.
I disagree with this article on the grounds that Sessions KNEW recusing himself would piss Trump off but he did it anyway then allowed a known Hillary supporter, bought and paid for, to appoint Mueller. In short, he blundered his way through the whole episode.
Sessions should resign immediately.
Sessions sold out. Being a creature of the Swamp, he did not want to prosecute or otherwise investigate Clinton. Thus the recusal from all things Russia.
I’ve got no problem with Trump questioning Sessions commitment and I’m suspicious of most people that are questioning Trump at this point.
President Trump has legitimate gripe with Sessions. If not over his recusal than his refusal to reign in the witch hunt and put a legal stop and put DOJ pressure on the seditionists.
