AG Jeff Sessions offered to quit during exchange with Trump

[question everything]

Source: CNN

Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have had a series of heated exchanges in the last several weeks after Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe, a source close to Sessions told CNN Tuesday. A senior administration official said that at one point, Sessions expressed he would be willing to resign if Trump no longer wanted him there.

Tuesday afternoon, White House press secretary Sean Spicer declined to say whether Trump has confidence in Sessions.
"I have not had a discussion with him about that," Spicer said.

As of 9 p.m. ET Tuesday, the White House still was unable to say whether or not the President backs his attorney general, a White House official said. The official said they wanted to avoid a repeat of what happened when Kellyanne Conway said Trump had confidence in Flynn only to find out hours later that the national security adviser had been pushed out.
Sessions remains at the Justice Department, where a spokeswoman told CNN that he is not stepping down.

6. :D

[question everything]

11. There were reports yesterday, on Rachel, I think

abut how he did not pay many contractors for his edifice complexes. And how even his lawyers sued him because he would not pay. So now he is having hard time finding personal lawyer - or whatever the term is - because, 1) his history of refusing to pay and 2) lawyers will know that he may or may not follow their advises.

16. His own attorneys would only meet with him in pairs, to have a witness who was also

an officer of the court, so he could be held to account for what he said.

[question everything]

17. Groan! And this is what the deplorables chose and are proud off? (nt)

4. I Wanna Hear It From Sessions

5. Yeah, I'll bet he did.

Keep dreaming Jeff.

7. Sessions is sick of putting up with the antics of a Yankee/ fake Christian.

He probably believes he's responsible for Trump being in the White House and should receive proper respect.

12. Where will Sessions

go if he quits?

[oasis]

15. Back to 'Bama......and obscurity.
