Regarding Sessions, Trump said he would've picked somebody else for Attorney General if Sessions was going to recuse himself with the Russia investigation:
“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.”
Trump also said this:
“Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself, which frankly I think is very unfair to the president. 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.”
Unfair to the president? The Attorney General is supposed to work for the American people, not for the president. Specially if the president colluded with Russia.
As per Robert Mueller, Trump issued a threat. Here's what the NYT article published:
Mr. Trump said Mr. Mueller was running an office rife with conflicts of interest and warned that investigators would cross a red line if they delve into Trump family finances unrelated to Russia. Mr. Trump never said he would order the Justice Department to fire Mr. Mueller, nor would he outline circumstances under which he might do so. But he left open the possibility as he expressed deep grievance over an investigation that has taken a political toll in the six months since he took office.
Oh really? And why would Trump do that if he says he's innocent?
By the way; Trump claims during his secret meeting with Vladimir Putin they talked about "adoptions."
Hmmm.... adoptions? Well, according to The Washington Post, Trump is ADOPTING a new policy in Syria by not supporting rebels against Assad, something Putin wanted.
I suppose that's an "adption." More like Trump doing Putin's bidding, but an adoption of policy nonetheless.
