Donald Trump lost all confidence in Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Pundits speculated for months that Trump would fire him.
Trump put that to rest when he dropped this big hint about firing Sessions.
Donald Trump Grows Angry With Sessions
Rumors swirled around Washington about Jeff Sessions future.
Trump raged about his job performance on social media.
The President noted that Deep State agent Bruce Ohr was still working at the Justice Department.
Trump tweeted:
Wow, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr’s wife, is a Russia expert who is fluent in Russian. She worked for Fusion GPS where she was paid a lot. Collusion! Bruce was a boss at the Department of Justice and is, unbelievably, still there!

Ohr attracted Trump’s ire because he worked with the FBI on spreading the fake news Russia dossier.
Sessions demoted Ohr last year, but did not fire him.
Trump tweeted:
“Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.” Jeff, this is GREAT, what everyone wants, so look into all of the corruption on the “other side” including deleted Emails, Comey lies & leaks, Mueller conflicts, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr……
….FISA abuse, Christopher Steele & his phony and corrupt Dossier, the Clinton Foundation, illegal surveillance of Trump Campaign, Russian collusion by Dems – and so much more. Open up the papers & documents without redaction? Come on Jeff, you can do it, the country is waiting!

Trump also raged because Sessions did not prosecute Hillary Clinton or other rogue Deep State agents.
Hillary, James Comey, and Andrew McCabe all committed crimes.
But Sessions has not moved against them.
Instead, Sessions sat back and watched as Mueller jailed Trump’s associates.
Jeff Sessions said he wouldn’t allow politics to influence him only because he doesn’t understand what is happening underneath his command position. Highly conflicted Bob Mueller and his gang of 17 Angry Dems are having a field day as real corruption goes untouched. No Collusion!

Reporters wondered if Trump did not fire Sessions because of the Mueller investigation.
They thought Trump would not fire Sessions because Congress would not confirm a successor.
Donald Trump Drops Hint About Firing Sessions
Trump put the Sessions story to bed in an Oval Office interview.
Trump told Bloomberg News that Sessions job was safe through November.
“I just would love to have him do a great job,” Trump said.
But Trump did not say whether he would keep Sessions after the election.
That led reporters to assume he plans to fire him after the midterms.
They also reported that Trump’s lawyers believe Mueller is out to get Trump.
However, Mueller will write a negative report no matter what Trump does.
Therefore, if Trump wants to fire Sessions, he should go ahead and do so.
But Trump is wisely holding off until after the election.
Trump needs to keep voters attention on the strong economy and Trump’s many victories as President.
If Trump fired Sessions before November, it would only create a distraction.
We will keep you up to date on any new developments in this ongoing story.
