Trump: I never would have hired Sessions if I knew he'd recuse






Great comments:

"I never would've have lied about that thing if I knew the liar I hired was going to get caught lying."
"Because my whole stupid plan hinged on a pliant lackey in the Justice Department to protect me from consequences."
Admitting he appointed Sessions so he would help him. Oh my!
So @realDonaldTrump knew the investigation was coming down? He had confidence he'd lie for him? #Sessions got caught & had to recuse! #Lies
If I knew he was going to follow the ethical rules that attorneys obey requiring him to recuse himself I would have never hired him.
You were supposed to make sure I was never charged w all those crimes we committed w Russia!!!

Pissed that once again Sessions recusal is screwing up his love affair with Vlad.

Rosenstein is not going to agree to release the compounds...

So *45 needs a new... non-recused... AG
that will go along with the SoS & Sec of Treasury about releasing the compounds.

Trump actually blames sessions for screwing things up by volunteering a lie at his hearing and having to recuse as a consequence of running his mouth and committing perjury.

The compounds are a nothing burger in comparison to Trump's problems.

Sessions knew, and he said, that he would be ruined if Trump goes down.

So sad.
