Trump: Wish I picked someone other than Sessions to head DOJ
The Hill ^ | 05/30/18 | Jordan Fabian and Mallory Shelbourne

President Trump on Wednesday said he regrets his decision to pick Jeff Sessions as attorney general, the latest sign of his growing anger over the Russia investigation.

Citing Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), who said earlier on CBS that Trump “could have picked somebody else” to lead the Justice Department, the president responded, “I wish I did!”

Gowdy was asked whether Trump obstructed justice when he reportedly asked Sessions early last year to reverse his decision to rescue himself from the Russia probe, an interaction reported Tuesday by The New York Times.

In comments later quoted by Trump, Gowdy said Trump was merely “expressing frustration that Attorney General Sessions should have shared these reasons for recusal before he took the job, not afterward.”

“There are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else!” Trump wrote, quoting Gowdy.

The president has lashed out at a variety of targets as the Russia investigation has moved closer to his inner circle, including special counsel Robert Mueller and now Sessions.

Why does he keep beating up on Sessions? If you don’t like him, fire him, like Tillerson.

.

If Sessions was as honorable as he thinks he is he would have tendered his resignation at the same time he decided to recuse himself.

And even now, knowing that he is not doing an acceptable job as Attorney General, he would resign for the good of the nation.

If he was an honorable man.

Just step down already, Sessions.

Just the fact he hasn't done that, clearly seems to indicate he's part of the corrupt machine to frame and overthrow Trump.

And we all know how lily white innocent and pure democrats are, surely the most sweetest people on earth. They would never, no never utter an unkind word, or utter anything vulgar or derogatory. Oh no, never, never, never.

Replacing lawyers is not obstruction. Lawyers are a dime a dozen. Lawyers have no tenure.

Over? Hell he needs to wait until September and fire all of them and then make the swamp run for re-election on impeaching a President by his use of his constitutional authority. Dare them!
