President Donald Trump on Monday publicly criticized his own attorney general, Jeff Sessions, for allowing Republican congressmen to be indicted for alleged criminal behavior.

“Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff…” Trump tweeted.

The president was apparently referring to Congressmen Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Chris Collins (R-NY). Hunter was charged with illegally using campaign funds to pay personal expenses while Collins was charged with taking part in an insider trading scheme.

“….The Democrats, none of whom voted for Jeff Sessions, must love him now. Same thing with Lyin’ James Comey. The Dems all hated him, wanted him out, thought he was disgusting – UNTIL I FIRED HIM! Immediately he became a wonderful man, a saint like figure in fact. Really sick!” Trump added in another tweet.

1. raw story IS NOT a news source nt

[pnwmom]

4. Sometimes it is. It also aggregates news, but some of its stories are written in-house.

This one appears to be one of its own.

6. Wrong...

The Administrators, Skinner specifically, ruled RawStory a reputable mainstream media news site/blog for LBN purposes over two years ago.

RawStory currently owns The New Civil Rights Movement and Salon, as well.

3. It doesn't matter how popular they are

you ignoramus, what they did was illegal and there should be some sort of penalty for it. Those 2 don't belong in congress

[truthisfreedom]

5. It's not Sessions' fault that repukes are all criminals!

If anything, 45 is encouraging repuke crime.

10. If Trump subverts the DOJ, nothing is safe. Not your money, your house, your job, your blood

They can steal anything. See what Trump's up to?

13. Collins and Hunter were the first two Republicans to endorse tRump's candidacy. . . . nt

[SWBTATTReg]

14. So basically ignore the rule of law because they are republicans? Haven't rump heard, ...

that Justice is blind so how does she know they are republicans? Has nothing to do w/ what they are, but what they did, illegally.

15. He can't even spell "midterms" and he's trying to win them.

And "saint like" used before the noun should be "saint-like" as with "Mid-Term" abortion.

17. drumpf is a total lying russian tool and fool.

Dems will never like Sessions, He's the 2nd figurehead for hate and racial prejudice and jailing everyone except repugs for little or not reason. Dems never loved Comey, he's just better than drumpf any day of any year. What he did to Hillary is inexcusable and I hope he rots in hell for it and doesn't get a good nights' sleep the rest of his life knowing he handed America over to Russian influence. We did like that he belatedly got it and stood up to drumpf, but he never would have had to do that if he hadn't deliberately and flouting Justice Dept. protocols torpedoed her.
