more from the John Solomon interview w President Trump

President Trump in an Oval Office interview with Hill.TV launched one of his most ferocious broadsides to date against Jeff Sessions, suggesting the attorney general was essentially AWOL and performing badly on a variety of issues.

“I don’t have an attorney general. It’s very sad,” Trump told Hill.TV in an extensive and freewheeling interview Tuesday from the Oval Office.

The president has long excoriated Sessions for his March 2017 decision to recuse himself from the Russia collusion investigation. But on Tuesday he suggested he is frustrated by Sessions's performance on far more than that.

“I’m not happy at the border, I’m not happy with numerous things, not just this,” he said.

Trump suggested he had a personal blind spot when it came to nominating Sessions as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.

“I’m so sad over Jeff Sessions because he came to me. He was the first senator that endorsed me. And he wanted to be attorney general, and I didn’t see it,” he said.

“And then he went through the nominating process and he did very poorly. I mean, he was mixed up and confused, and people that worked with him for, you know, a long time in the Senate were not nice to him, but he was giving very confusing answers. Answers that should have been easily answered. And that was a rough time for him.”

Sessions recused himself under pressure from congressional Democrats and after some Republicans said he should not take part in overseeing the Russian investigation at Justice. During his confirmation hearings, he failed to mention two meetings with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.

In announcing his recusal, Sessions said that he had consulted with Justice Department officials over the decision and that he had not meant to mislead members of the Senate over the meetings.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein became the lead Justice official on the Russia investigation because of the Sessions recusal. Rosenstein also appointed special counsel Robert Mueller after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.

The president suggested Sessions's experience going through the nominating process in the Senate may have impacted his performance as attorney general.

“He gets in and probably because of the experience that he had going through the nominating when somebody asked him the first question about Hillary Clinton or something he said ‘I recuse myself, I recuse myself,’" Trump said.

“And now it turned out he didn’t have to recuse himself. Actually, the FBI reported shortly thereafter any reason for him to recuse himself. And it’s very sad what happened.”

The FBI in an early 2017 email to a Sessions aide, made public last December, concluded that Sessions did not need to reveal contacts with foreign government officials that were made in the course of his work as a senator.

“I recused myself not because of any asserted wrongdoing on my part during the campaign,” Sessions told the Senate Intelligence Committee last April. “But because a Department of Justice regulation, 28 CFR 45.2, required it.”

Trump’s broader criticisms of Sessions may be a surprise to some lawmakers and other observers given the attorney general’s efforts to impose tougher policies on immigration. Sessions has been credited in conservative quarters for his handling of policy issues even as he has been lambasted by some on the right over the Russian probe.

At the same time, speculation that Trump could decide to fire Sessions has been growing.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who speaks frequently with Trump, in August said the president deserved to have an attorney general he had faith in.

“The president's entitled to having an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that is qualified for the job, and I think there will come a time sooner rather than later where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice. Clearly, Attorney General Sessions doesn't have the confidence of the president,” Graham said.

Trump demurred on whether he might one day fire the attorney general.

“We’ll see what happens. A lot of people have asked me to do that. And I guess I study history, and I say I just want to leave things alone, but it was very unfair what he did,” he said, referring to the recusal decision.

“And my worst enemies, I mean, people that, you know, are on the other side of me in a lot of ways, including politically, have said that was a very unfair thing he did.”

He concluded: "We’ll see how it goes with Jeff. I’m very disappointed in Jeff. Very disappointed."

"The president suggested Sessions's experience going through the nominating process in the Senate may have impacted his performance as attorney general."

I think that is very true.

Unless we are seeing the most elaborate and well executed game of Good Cop/Bad Cop with Sessions and Trump ever here, I have to agree with the President that this AG has been a huge disappointment.

Sessions is an unmitigated, total, 100% disaster.

CA Governor Brown said during a recent interview "something's got to happen to this guy" in reference to Trump. Fox news has it at the top of their page right now.

I'm sure the secret service just loves having their job made more difficult when idiots like this spew this kind of rhetoric

Well if they would drag some of these people in and make them uncomfortable with a very serious and very long question and answer session they may hesitate before saying these things that are borderline suggesting violence against the POTUS.

with all of the opportunities he had on his plate, he has squandered every single one of them that were most important

Susan Rice
Lois (Slow) Lerner

just to name two...there are almost 100 people that should be the targets (they made us targets) and yet nothing has been done

and we're not even talking about Hillary - which should be a special prosecutor's dream

yeah, Sessions has been a huge disappointment

I predict that he's got less than two months left on the job.

Yeah, after the midterms he will either tender his resignation (hopefully) or be fired. It would be sad if he refused to resign if asked.

I would suspect the left would then accuse Trump of using his Secret Police to silence his enemies.

But you are correct. It's high time these threats stop.

Round up your voter block and kick him out on the next election cycle. Go for it and have the balls to do it the correct way. Stop trying to rile up the mental midgets in an attempt to convince one or two to take a shot at him. Cowards.

At lunch time, on FOX, I saw President Trump talking to North Carolinians as meals were being distributed to hurricane refugees.

Just to be sure, I briefly turned on MSNBC to verify that they were being ugly … it took about six seconds " it looks like its been staged " …

Brahahahahah … in today's uncertain world, its nice to know I can count on MSNBC. hahahahahaha.

Yeah, Moonbeam says that Trump is "sabotaging the world order". I'd say Trump is doing his job, asswipe.

When the Mueller persecution is finished, and President Trump can pardon Flynn without incurring an obstruction of justice charge, he’ll do so.

Weren't several Iran-Contra guys pardoned before the investigation was over?

This witch hunt needs to end.
