In a recent interview, Donald Trump made some remarks about his Attorney General Jeff Sessions who has obviously been a miserable failure. He basically said that his performance has been so bad that he doesn’t really have an Attorney General.
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.
He further expressed his disappointment towards Sessions when speaking to reporters before he traveled to see the damage caused by Hurricane Florence.
Sessions has easily been the worst cabinet pick of them all. It’s as if he’s being blackmailed or something. The Department of Justice is operating no different than if Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch were running it. That’s how bad it is.
He didn’t have to recuse himself on the Russia hoax but did so any way. And on top of that, he’s done nothing to fix all of the corruption that’s going on in the agency that he’s supposed to run. Plus, he’s afraid to go after anyone related to Hillary Clinton while this insane witch hunt is being run against his boss.
It looks like Trump is going to fire him after the midterms. Someone like Rudy Giuliani needs to be put in this position. Even if it isn’t Rudy, it needs to be someone tough. It needs to be someone who will take command of the organization and begin cleaning house.
