Still fuming over Sessions
by digby
He can’t get past it:
President Donald Trump again indicated he was dissatisfied with his attorney general, following comments over the summer in which he criticized Jeff Sessions and suggested he might fire him.
The president also said at a White House dinner Monday that he had the upper hand in his dispute with the National Football League, according to guests at the gathering.
Mr. Trump expressed frustration with Mr. Sessions’ March decision to recuse himself from the Justice Department’s probe of Russian election meddling, according to three people at the dinner for conservative leaders.
“You could feel it dripping with venom,” one dinner guest said of Mr. Trump’s comment. “It was something else.”

Mr. Trump was answering a guest’s question on a policy technicality when his mood appeared to shift, the people said. He advised the guest to reach out to the attorney general on the issue, then said of Mr. Sessions: “He recused himself on Russia, which he should never have done.”
Mr. Trump also suggested Mr. Sessions was ineffective at his job. “He basically told everyone in the room to go tell Sessions to get moving” on various policy fronts, one person said.
In Alabama the other night he said people should convince Sessions to indict Hillary Clinton.
He’s got a screw loose, particularly when it comes to Sessions who is his most loyal soldier. I’m not sure we really know this is all about.
