Trump slams Sessions as not a 'real' attorney general
Source: Politico
President Donald Trump wrote online Tuesday that Jeff Sessions is not a real attorney general, heaping fresh blame onto him for the Russia investigation that has served as a drag on Trump's time in the White House.
It was the latest attack from Trump, who has long harassed Sessions for recusing himself from the Justice Departments probe into whether Trump campaign officials colluded with the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election. On Saturday, the president accused Sessions of being scared stiff and missing in action.
On Tuesday morning, Trump quoted Fox News analyst Gregg Jarrett and added a swipe at Sessions.
They were all in on it, clear Hillary Clinton and FRAME Donald Trump for things he didnt do. Gregg Jarrett on @foxandfriends," Trump wrote on Twitter. "If we had a real Attorney General, this Witch Hunt would never have been started! Looking at the wrong people."

(16,104 posts)Can a fake Non-Disclosure Agreement hold up in court when Sessions has to testify about "obstruction of justice?"
And testify he will! He's likely to be the 'Southern White Version' of Omarosa! Just biding his time.

NBC, not Donald Trump, decided who got fired on The Apprentice, says Clay Aiken

Donald Trump probably won his shot at the presidency by starring on the reality TV show, The Apprentice, where he expanded his brand as the frank businessman able to make tough decisions by decisively eliminating contestants with his signature catchphrase Youre fired.
But this news may come as no surprise to many: much of what was depicted on this reality show wasnt, well, real. Those dramatic corporate boardroom scenes at the end of each episode were staged, and Trump didnt actually decide who and when to fire, according to former Celebrity Apprentice contestant Clay Aiken.
He didnt make those decisions, he didnt fire those people, said Clay Aiken, 38, who competed on the show in 2012 and was also a contestant on American Idol.
Aikens takeaway on Trump and the show? The future leader of the free world wasnt the businessman he was perceived to be on TV. In fact, he pretty much a puppet, and the producers called the shots.
Trump didnt decide who got fired on Apprentice, I mean, NBC made those decisions, Aiken said.
Aiken says Trump was fed lines and notes by producers through a dummy phone.
There used to be a little thing right on his desk that looked like a phone he pretended it was a phone but it was actually a teleprompter where the producers were sending him notes, said Aiken. He didnt know that people were getting in fights during the week while we were doing these tasks, the producers did. And theyd send him notes and hed say, Oh you two didnt get along.

(9,893 posts)that Trump is not "crazy like a fox" as some people still believe is his willingness to smear people who could crush him. He's either sooo narcissistic as to believe that he's uncrushable, or too stupid to understand how they could do it. Or both. He lacks a very basic self-preservation skill. Although he IS still President, so what do I know.

(12,586 posts)He'll have someone else do it for him. Maybe it will be Kelly. Can you think of a single member of his Cabinet or staff that he's let go face-to-face? Firing his Secretary of State by TWEET was the low point, inasmuch is termination is concerned. (There are so many other low points it's hard to keep track.)

(4,035 posts)This idiot displays his guilt to the American public every single day. Innocent men would not have the blood curdling fear that he holds. Between his third grade tweets and proclamations of innocence, he exposes himself daily as the Russian plant. Guilt by denial. As the old expression goes, Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.
The Russians and god knows how many other countries, own him lock, stock and barrel. His moronic defense is amateur at best.
The fool should own up to his own stupid actions, resign before he goes to jail, and let the country sort out the mess that hes created.
Innocent, my ass!

(7,813 posts)that it makes me wonder what pathway they see out of this. Makes me worried...as they have the biggest megaphone in the world in the WH, the willingness to lie/cheat/frame, the motive to fabricate because of criminal exposure, and the cult-like-ends-justify-the-means rabid co-conspirators at the WH and congress....in order to hide inculpatory evidence and fabricate new fake planted evidence that leads elsewhere.
They must have a plan...not one that leads to justice.

(22,124 posts)at him...there must be something else going on here (under the table) that Sessions is aware of that rump is dreading...
Otherwise, why doesn't Donnie boy play nice w/ Sessions? After all, Sessions was a US Senator and from what I've seen over the years, senators tend to clump together in defending themselves.
Sessions is either holding some additional cards very close to his chest and won't play them unless rump does something ignorant and stupid (which won't take very long w/ rump)...
Additional note: I thought that rump will always pick the very best people, eh? Looks like so far, w/ all of the people leaving under adverse conditions, that he's done a fine, outstanding job, eh?
