President Donald Trump on Thursday morning said he wasn’t planning to replace his attorney general, at least not right now.

Durning an interview with “Fox and Friends” Thursday morning, Trump addressed a report in The Washington Post that he discussed replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with Sessions’s own Chief of Staff Matthew Whitaker. Trump said he “never” talks about private conversations, but said “I can tell you, Matt Whitaker is a great guy, I know Matt Whitaker, but I never talk about conversations I had.”

When pressed further about whether he’s considering ousting Sessions Trump lamented: “I’m not doing anything, I want to get the elections over with. We’ll see what happens,” he said before launching into an diatribe about the “witch hunt” and Sessions’s failure to oversee it.

  1. I’d say the Russia investigation obviously keeps Trump awake at night. Then again, he may be merely fretting over whether the door knobs at the Oval Office entrance are getting cleaned once an hour as he’s requested.

  2. I wonder what kind of dirt Sessions has on Spanky. If it is something he can release without implicating himself, you can bet the evil elf will get even. Meanwhile, Miss Lindsey is like the wallflower waiting for that call asking for a date to the prom.

  3. Meanwhile, the WH staff is spitting on his burgers as they go through the kitchen.

  4. Ah Yes , Mr. Trump’s “Fireside Chat” every morning with his fans at Faux
    What a statesman

  5. Has Sessions come to the conclusion yet that karma is a bitch? He backed Trump from the beginning. He wanted to be AG so bad he could actually taste it. He got the appointment, then he followed the law and recused himself. Trump immediately started the bad mouthing campaign against Sessions. Sessions chicken sh*t republican senators couldn’t desert Sessions fast enough. More republican profiles in courage to NOT see.
