President Trump Slams AWOL Jeff Sessions: “I Wish” I Would Have Hired Somebody Else for Attorney General
President Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to once again attack his AWOL Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Sessions recused himself from the Russia collusion witch hunt the day after he was sworn in as Attorney General.
Sessions has been a disgrace as Attorney General. His behavior is out of character.
President Trump: Rep.Trey Gowdy, “I don’t think so, I think what the President is doing is expressing frustration that Attorney General Sessions should have shared these reasons for recusal before he took the job, not afterward. If I were the President and I picked someone to be the country’s chief law enforcement officer, and they told me later, ‘oh by the way I’m not going to be able to participate in the most important case in the office, I would be frustrated too…and that’s how I read that – Senator Sessions, why didn’t you tell me before I picked you. There are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else!” And I wish I did!
