In an interview with the NYTs Trump said he would not have hired Sessions if he knew that Sessions would recuse himself from the Russian Investigation.

Talk about getting kicked in the gonads! Ouch for poor Mr. Sessions.

In other parts of the interview Trump mused about a military parade in Washington DC and Mueller would cross "a red line" if he delved too closely into his finances. Gee, I wonder why.

Like....If that guy actually finds all the dirt on me its a red line.
.........Military parades are awesome, I can look cool like all the other dictators!
.........I should have never hired someone who had the slimmest amount of ethics in him like Sessions.

What a mess of an interview.

Quote:
President Trump said on Wednesday that he never would have appointed Attorney General Jeff Sessions had he known Mr. Sessions would recuse himself from overseeing the Russia investigation that has dogged his presidency, calling the decision “very unfair to the president.”

In a remarkable public break with one of his earliest political supporters, Mr. Trump complained that Mr. Sessions’s decision ultimately led to the appointment of a special counsel that should not have happened. “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,” Mr. Trump said.

In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, the president also accused James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director he fired in May, of trying to leverage a dossier of compromising material to keep his job. Mr. Trump criticized both the acting F.B.I. director who has been filling in since Mr. Comey’s dismissal and the deputy attorney general who recommended it. And he took on Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel now leading the investigation into Russian meddling in last year’s election.
Quote:
“Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself, which frankly I think is very unfair to the president,” he added. “How do you take a job and then recuse yourself? If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said, ‘Thanks, Jeff, but I’m not going to take you.’ It’s extremely unfair — and that’s a mild word — to the president.”

Mr. Trump also faulted Mr. Sessions for his testimony during Senate confirmation hearings when Mr. Sessions said he had not met with any Russians even though he had met at least twice with Ambassador Sergey I. Kislyak. “Jeff Sessions gave some bad answers,” the president said. “He gave some answers that were simple questions and should have been simple answers, but they weren’t.”

Default Trump now says he wouldn't have appointed Sessions as AG if he knew Sessions would recuse himself...

On matters regarding the 2016 election.

More whining from the Donald? Or does he have a valid point?

"Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself, which frankly I think is very unfair to the President," Trump said, referring to himself. "How do you take a job and then recuse yourself? If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said, 'Thanks, Jeff, but I'm not going to take you.' It's extremely unfair -- and that's a mild word -- to the President."

I bet Trump is going to give back Russia their NY and Maryland compounds tomorrow(Thu, 7/20/17). He did the NYT interview to 'wag the dog'. Putin's been threatening for the past week or two about wanting those compounds back. Putin likely was the leaker of the Donald Jr emails. Trump wants to give those compounds back before Putin does more damage to Trump.

Watch and see tomorrow's news that Trump decided to give the Russian compounds back. Trump would never give a news story without an ulterior motive.

Aww, poor baby.

You know it's bad when even Jeff Sessions has too much integrity for Trump.
