President Donald Trump made his dissatisfaction with his Attorney General known (again) Monday morning, slamming his Cabinet appointee for not investigating Hillary Clinton.

In a Tweet published just prior to 9:00 a.m. ET, the President questioned why “beleaguered” Attorney General Jeff Sessions isn’t “looking into Crooked Hillarys (sic) crimes & Russia relations.”

The tweet is just the latest public statement from Trump expressing his displeasure with Sessions. Last week, in an interview with The New York Times, Trump appeared to admit to some buyer’s remorse for having made Sessions his pick for Attorney General in the first place, given that Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe.

“Sessions should have never recused himself and if he was going to recuse himself he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else,” Trump said.

1. His strategy is showing

If you can call it a strategy.

[TomCADem]

6. Sessions Needs To Resign So He Can Hire a New AG to Fire Mueller...

...otherwise he has to start firing people down the line to get them to fire Mueller.

[grantcart]

11. and Sessions doesn't want to play along

[Eyeball_Kid]

13. Sessions is becoming Trumpy's Little Whipping Boy.

[Sunlei]

28. He can use the health reasons to resign, that excuse hasn't been used recently.

ohhhh I have a headache and vision flashes

[WhiteTara]

2. He is really really scared. And well he should be.

Go Bobby Three Sticks!

[Sunlei]

29. "Bobby Three Sticks"

[Docreed2003]

3. I mean, I'd say "WTF" but it's lost its impact...

It's clearly that Ol' Scrotum Chin isn't happy that this investigation is getting so close to home.

[Still In Wisconsin]

14. Scrotum chin! Excellent! I have been calling him "Donny Four-chins" which sounds more

like a mob name. He does look like a big scrod when you think about it!

[Docreed2003]

15. Lol...it's my favorite

Mainly because I can't look at him without seeing that!

[RKP5637]

27. "Scrotum Chin" Perfect!!! n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. In other words.....

....."Jeff, please quit so I can replace you with someone who can fire Robert Mueller."

I see he's going with the Seinfeld Play Now/George Costanza strategy.

[Achilleaze]

5. Will the republican Perjurer General let the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

talk to him that way?

Probably, since republicans go all submissive in the face of Comrade Casino and his support network of KGOP Colluders and their russian mob buddies.

It's enough to PISS anyone off.

[yallerdawg]

7. Hillary and all things Clinton have been investigated for years!

Not even a single "unreasonable" rightwing conservative Republican prosecutor has brought charges.

Trump has an obvious disconnect with American values, our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our 'Rule of Law.'

All he knows is hate and discord - and weekends and HIS holidays promoting his personal brand.

[KRISITNA]

8. NOVEMBER 2016--

"I want to move forward, I don’t want to move back." Trump told the New York Times. "I don't want to hurt the Clintons, I really don't. She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways, and I am not looking to hurt them at all. The campaign was vicious."

[BumRushDaShow]

10. He changes position every 5 minutes.

November 2016 was an eternity ago.

[Dave Starsky]

22. I don't think he wrote that.

It has an SAT word in it, for one thing.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. If it's a speech or statement, he didn't write it

but guaranteed he would eventually go off-script in order to mangle the meaning, and then later take to twitter to reverse his mangling with a new mangling.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire......

So all this time, that fat arrogant prick in the White House did indeed want Hillary Clinton to go to prison.

Russiagate getting to you, Donnie Boy? Suck it up, bucko! Your ride is about to get rougher. BELEIVE ME!

[FakeNoose]

20. Cheeto called off the Hillary-hunt, remember?

I guess it's back on again, but Cheeto forgot to tell Jeffy-boy.

I don't think Cheeto even talks to Sessions any more, other than sending out tweets to the whole world that are really addressed to him. (Do we even care?)

Hopefully Sessions will drag this out as long as possible while Mueller keeps digging deeper. Something tells me that's what Sessions wanted all along.

[riversedge]

31. Trump has been publicly harassing Hillary for months now via his tweets and in a some of

his comments. It is harassment, pure harassment.

[FakeNoose]

32. His tweets get more "likes" every time he mentions her

The guy is so obvious.

Just stop liking him, and he won't do it any more.

[Eyeball_Kid]

12. Firing Mueller has its own dangers for Trumpy...

But he can't fire Schneiderman, who also has the RICO power. Trumpy could lose his hotels, all of his property, AND his shirt to the courts in New York, and Trumpy can't do a thing about it. Reportedly, three investigations are being conducted in New York, all of them targeting Trumpy. Two investigations are Organized Crime-related and also target around 70 people; the Financial Crimes unit is targeting 30-40 people.

[IronLionZion]

16. He sounds so guilty!

I hope Mueller takes him down soon. The suspense is killing me.

[DallasNE]

17. Tump Looks Like A Great White Shark

And there is blood in the water. Need say what comes next?

[Initech]

18. STFU Donnie!!!!

[secondwind]

19. omg.

[Dave Starsky]

21. "Beleaguered"?

Am I REALLY supposed to pretend that he came up with that, let alone texted that into his phone?

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. In the UK, Trump would just have guaranteed no conviction, by prejudicing any possible jury

When the head of state or government talks about someone's "crimes" in public, they have destroyed the chance of a fair trial. It's bad enough that he talked that way as a candidate, but as the "leader of the country", you just can't talk about the "crimes" of someone who has not been convicted.

Not that I think there were any crimes by Hillary or other Democrats; it's just another example of Trump screwing his own plans because he's an idiot. Or he knows no one will ever start investigating, so he's decided to just libel her, because he thinks he can get away with it.

[Kleveland]

24. So, there is apprently more than one Hillary?

Judging from the lack of apostrophe.... "Hillarys"?

What an ignoramus, paranoid idiot.

So maybe Cheeto did write this outrageous short-bus mentality tweet.... as we all know he seriously must have gotten a failing grade in English in school.

He probably got out the dictionary, or let his iPhone correct the spelling for "beleaguered".

[Sunlei]

26. Sessions allows himself to be bullied more each day!WIMP of an AG! he must be afraid of Russia too!

bring Yates back, she wasn't afraid to speak up for AMERICA!

[FakeNoose]

35. My take on this - Jeffy-boy is doing it on purpose

Jeff Sessions knows he'll be fired sooner or later, but he's dragging this out as long as possible.
Call him passive-aggressive maybe, I don't know.

He knows that Trump can't fire Mueller, and he won't do it. Neither will Rosenstein (probably). So it's going to take a long time to replace these guys with somebody who will fire Mueller. Meanwhile the investigation is on-going and they're getting closer every day.

Why should Jeffy-boy care? He's a dead man anyway. His career is ruined and he's probably going to jail.

[Sunlei]

36. Comey reported exactly what Sessions was "like". The mans another lia(R) for position.

[yallerdawg]

30. And just who is beleaguering the AG?

[Glimmer of Hope]

33. I guess they are not friends anymore.

[California_Republic]

34. "beleaguered"

He called his own AG "beleaguered".

Till (Sec of State) didn't like that.

[Sunlei]

37. trump got the word here from this he read. he reads "everything" about him and family.

ProPublica-May 23, 2017

[Juliusseizure]

38. Fascist will fire everybody/Replace w/loyalists

Of course that's the end game. Get rid of Sessions, replace with loyalist, fire Mueller, replace with loyalist.

And the few Republicans who question it are attacked by Trump supporters. Even radical partisans like Gowdy.

The GOP can't be relied on to fight Trump on this.

We have to get that POS out of power sooner rather than later. Pence is bad but he's not a malignant narcissist with mass popular people whose goal is to skirt laws and end game is a Putin like dictatorship.

[truthisfreedom]

39. Our "president" doesn't know how to use apostrophes.

He's a shitty low-intelligence joke, and everybody everywhere knows it. He's a petty bully who is running scared.
