Free Agent Jeff Sessions Might Resign Amid Tensions With Trump

[Minstrel]

As the White House braces for former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony Thursday, sources tell ABC News the relationship between President Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions has become so tense that Sessions at one point recently even suggested he could resign.

The friction between the two men stems from the attorney general's abrupt decision in March to recuse himself from anything related to the Russia investigation -- a decision the president only learned about minutes before Sessions announced it publicly. Multiple sources say the recusal is one of the top disappointments of his presidency so far and one the president has remained fixated on.

Trump’s anger over the recusal has not diminished with time. Two sources close to the president say he has lashed out repeatedly at the attorney general in private meetings, blaming the recusal for the expansion of the Russia investigation, now overseen by Special Counsel and former FBI Director Robert Mueller.

But sources say the frustration runs both ways, prompting the resignation offer from Sessions.

Why is Sessions fucking with Trump?

Sessions was easily Trump's worst pick. His mind stopped evolving sometime shortly after I was born, and he has difficulty recognizing the difference between real threats (meth, heroin, human trafficking, terrorism...) and faux threats (marijuana, bathroom entry rules...).

Sessions was easily Trump's worst pick. H

I don't necessarily disagree, but the competition is pretty stiff.

I disagree with most of Trump's picks, but I completely agree With you on Sessions and all of the issues that you mentioned. He has a brain like a stone that can no longer change or absorb anything new. The stone can only erode further from here on out.

Sessions intel: He would resign if Trump wants him to. In fact, he should resign to preserve his integrity and join Comey . BTW: Comey testifies to the investigative committee Thursday.

I'm not a Doctor but I can assume that Mr. Trump can't let events go. His little weapon is the Twitter. You can't play any sport or move forward when your fixated on a sour moment. The mayor of London can affirm this.

Actually, he can't accept anyone who is stoned.

Comey released a statement absolving Trump of applying any political pressure on him or interfering with any investigation, as expected from his previous testimony.
