Trump blames Sessions for 'Russian Witch Hunt Hoax'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Trump blamed Attorney General Jeff Sessions Tuesday for the ongoing “Russian Witch Hunt Hoax,” noting that he “would have quickly picked someone else” as the nation's chief law officer if he knew of Sessions’ decision to “recuse himself.”
The president suggested that Sessions, who was involved in the Trump campaign, “knew better than most that there was No Collusion.”
“The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself…I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined…and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion!” Trump tweeted early Tuesday.The president’s tweet is just the latest blow to Sessions. Last week, Trump said he wished he had appointed someone else to lead the Justice Department, following comments made by House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who suggested there “are lots of really good lawyers in the country. He could have picked someone else.”
Trump quoted Gowdy’s remarks, and concluded: “And I wish I did!”Trump has been highly critical of Sessions ever since his recusal, blasting the former senator for not launching full-blown investigations into Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and officials like fired FBI Director James Comey and fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
Upon Sessions’ recusal, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein took control of the Russia probe, ultimately appointing Mueller to investigate allegations of potential collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia during the 2016 presidential election.
Last month, the president demanded that the Justice Department investigate allegations that an FBI informant was in communication with at least three Trump campaign associates — George Papadopoulos, Sam Clovis, and Carter Page. The president has dubbed these new revelations as “Spygate.”
Rosenstein instructed the Justice Department inspector general to investigate any alleged “impropriety or political motivation” in the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates.

Trump still thinks the Attorney General is suppose to protect HIM from prosecution instead of enforcing our nations laws. He is totally unfit for POTUS.
I have followed Donald J. Trump off and on for about thirty years. In all of that time there has never been a day when Donald J. Trump did not blame or falsely accuse somebody of something. This man was born with a tiki torch in one hand and a fistful of cash in the other.
One thing Trump values highly is loyalty. People who are "loyal" to him. But ironically, while he wants them to be loyal to him, he himself has zero loyalty to them!
And t only does Sessions have impeccable credentials as a hard line conservative-- he was the first Senator to endorse Trump!!!
Jeff Sessions on Sunday became the first U.S. senator to endorse Donald Trump for president.
"We need to make America great again," the Alabama Republican announced here at a Trump rally, citing Trump's campaign slogan. "I am pleased to endorse Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States."
Trump pointed out at the rally that Sunday's announcement was the first time that Sessions has endorsed a candidate in a presidential campaign.
He's married to a super model, and he can't even loyal to her when a porn star is in the room.
Yeah, but, ya gotta look at things from his POV. He has been married to his wife for 10 years or so, and she is 48 y/o now, so she is no longer a young woman. And young women is what Trump prefers. While the First Lady is still lovely and svelte, she is nearing 50 y/o. So naturally Trump is looking for someone young who will make him feel young and stoke his ego as well.
It is doubtful that the First Lady will hang around with Trump after he is no longer President. And if Trump makes the mistake of messing with another hottie while he is still President, she may chose to simply walk away before the game is over.
Where is Melania and is she ok?
Hal, and, RW as well, the FLOTUS isn't a part of this seed, that is Johns seed, let's stay on topic.
Toddler in chief is at it again.
Hard to come up with the basis for people saying Trump is intelligent. Everyone (other than Trump evidently) knew that Sessions would have to recuse himself from the Russia case if he was named attorney general. He was part of Trump's campaign (I think he was some sort of foreign policy adviser to the campaign) and could not lead an investigation into "himself".
Trump does not have the level of intelligence required to think of that, and he refuses to listen to anyone who does, thinking that he, Trump the Deal Maker, knows all there is to know about everything. Even Google does not have near the knowledge as he does as far s Trump is concerned. And when he is proved wrong he blames someone else for his own mistakes and gross stupidity.
Of course he will blame everyone but himself and the bad staff selections he made. I want Sessions gone, but it gives me some satisfaction that trump is disappointed in him.
I don't agree with much that Sessions has done in his job but, I don't want to see what Trump puts in his place, hell, the way things are going right now he might replace Sessions with himself.
I feel the same way - Sessions would be dead last in my choice for AG but at least he's behaved somewhat ethically on this one key issue.
May I introduce Attorney General Rudy Giuliani.
Oh please......don't scare me that way.
Oh, hell, the fuck, no.
Having Trump in the Oval office totally messing things up is bad enough.
Oiy... LOL
Ozzy, good to see you, and I am glad your voice is here. Thanks so much.
Not to do so would have been the end of him, congress would have had to step in. Russia meddling is just to important to totally ignore.
Trump Blames Sessions For 'Russian Witch Hunt Hoax'
I wonder if America has ever had a more childlike President ?
I have little doubt this guy has a temper tantrum daily.
I guess that's what happens when you get your way all your life.
sad
Well we dodged a bullet on that one. Clinton was beaten in the l ast election .
Sorry that doesn't that negate trump's childish qualities.
But we could have gotten hillary and it would have been so much worse. I am goid with how things are when i think of the alternative .
It is only your opinion on how things would be under a Hillary Clinton presidency, I remember Bill Clinton as president and, it was better than any of the last two Republican presidency's and, is better than this one.
This was another election where I saw NO candidate even running that I wanted as president so I certainly can't disagree with you 100%.
However under the last president I watched the stock market, housing and the job market all slowly But steadily increase constantly. IF hildabeast could have at least kept that going for 4 years instead of what we currently have and are facing I seriously start to question which way we actually would have been better especially a few more years down the road. considering,
trump's "win at all costs" and his "bulling" style and the loyalty and nepotism and doing away with any opposition in any way possible, presidents trump's constantly using of manipulating tools like insults, grand promises, intimidation and threats to gain what he wants, along with all that, this presidents non adherence to the truth and his manipulation of wording as a "negotiation" tactic 24/7/365 way of living seems extremely dangerous to a 241 year old constitutional federal republic.
IMO: Freedom fails without honesty to back it up.
PS: I'm not saying hilldabeast is more honest, I already stated I didn't want either.
Time will tell.
And under Trump the stock market is up, the job market is improving, the GDP is better than before. The Korea's are discussing peace, isis is dead or almost so .
And I thank God each and everyday that she is not in office to show just how correct my opinion is
And got a totally destructive H-bomb instead.
You really need to pay better attention, I understand that you were busy trashing everything Obama but, damn how did you miss this?
Well, this is true but, it's not because of anything Trump has done.
They always do this when a new administration comes into office and, then back to square one.
Thanks to Obama.
Ah no i just commented that things are even better than they were under obama .Do keep up.
In what way? How is the USA better now than it was when Obama was president? Keep in mind that trump is riding the coat tails a LOT..
Do you REALLY think God is on the side of trump? Yes or no...
True and housing is up as well. Considering businessman turned president promised a great deal of good intentions towards business I doubt many are surprised. I 'm not. (I will be kind of surprised if trump himself doesn't upset the apple cart in some way soon though) However, my concern about president trump is mainly about his means and ways of accomplishment. Regaudless of policy differences.
Not that I always agree with his policy either, but to me that is a separate set of issues.
And, I commented that things are better because of Obama and, in spite of Trump. "Do keep up."
Maybe Loki?
The saddest thing about Trump's reaction to Sessions' recusing himself, is that this was one of the very few displays of integrity the Trump administration ever demonstrated. Jeff HAD to recuse himself given the circumstances; it was definitely the RIGHT thing to do.
Agreed!!
And, that is the point Jeff Sessions was involved in the campaign, as AG he had no choice in the matter, he had to recuse himself. Any first year law student would tell you the same thing.
Trump is like a cat playing with yarn, taking a perfectly good ball of yarn and tangling it up into chaos and confusion.
Only the steadfast followers of the story know that Trump is a con man and has associated himself with con men just like himself. When you look at the fact his closest appointees and advisors on the campaign have been the first ones caught.
They are flipping, getting subpoenas, some indictments and surely more to come as they go after the money and money laundering.
Trump and his son and son-in-law, have lied about their connections to the very people who are getting bail revoked for jury tampering, money laundering, and other crimes.
Add all of Trump's public tweets as part of the Presidential record, which frequently lie and contradict each other in every tweet, you have a solid case of obstruction.
Sessions is pretty much irrelevant at this stage and going forward, but Sessions is himself scum for implementing various harsh Trump policies
Well stated freepress.
