Trump angry and frustrated at staff over Sessions fallout

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is extremely frustrated with his senior staff and communications team for allowing the firestorm surrounding Attorney General Jeff Sessions to steal his thunder in the wake of his address to Congress, sources tell CNN.

"Nobody has seen him that upset," one source said, adding the feeling was the communications team allowed the Sessions news, which the administration deemed a nonstory, to overtake the narrative.

On Thursday, Sessions recused himself from any current or future investigations into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign after it was reported he had met with the Russian ambassador to the US, something he had previously failed to disclose.

In particular, the renewed focus on Russia is seen as a major letdown after Tuesday when top officials were riding high, congratulating one another on Trump's speech to Congress.

And when he can't, he explodes. Since his accomplishments are so shallow, he has to keep running ahead of his shadow-- one step ahead of mass realization that he's nothing but a fraud. And the only way he can accomplish this task is to control the narrative of every news cycle. That's what makes him so nervous right now. He can't control the leaking and the reporting of his Russia connection.

The letter from Russia handed delivered to the White House by Michael Flynn suggests that Trump was/is working for Putin:
