After publicly admitting that he wishes he had picked someone else to be his attorney general on Wednesday, President Donald Trump continued his months-long diatribe against Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation.
Late Wednesday, Trump tweeted a quote from attorney Joe diGenova calling “the recusal of Jeff Sessions” an “unforced betrayal” of Trump. diGenova made the comments during an appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show Wednesday.
“The recusal of Jeff Sessions was an unforced betrayal of the President of the United States.” JOE DIGENOVA, former U.S. Attorney.

The White House announced earlier this year that diGenova had been hired along with his wife, Victoria Toensing, to work on Trump’s legal team, but the new gigs never materialized because both attorneys had conflicts associated with representing Trump in the Russia investigation.
Donald Trump, unsure if he’s done enough for an obstruction of justice charge, pushes hard just to make certain Mueller has enough evidence.
Indeed. I can’t figure out if all this whining is AG termination being restrained, or a general sense that his desire to control the investigation, writ-large, is lost. Either way, spanky is making one sweet bed to lay in later!
My two cents.
Sessions apparently didn’t pinkie swear unending fealty and obedience to the master so what’s the surprise?
Alberto Gonzalez was on NPR this morning. He said all this public hand-wringing about Sessions is making the President look weak and ineffective. If he was displeased with Sessions, he should have had a meeting with him and /or fired him already.
Again, this is Alberto Gonzalez talking, formerly the worst AG in America…
Beat me to that. I tuned in just in time to hear the end of the Gonzalez bit.
