Judicial Watch president: AG Jeff Sessions should un-recuse himself and fire Mueller
“Sessions should un-recuse himself and get rid of [special counsel Robert] Mueller,” Fitton told The Daily Signal. “This is a political effort to jail the president and his family because people don’t like him.”
“To be fair to Sessions, I think he believed he was recusing himself from a very limited set of circumstances,” Fitton said. “He was a bit naïve because that is not the way to approach it. You can’t have an attorney general that is unable to manage the largest case known to the public that is going on in the Justice Department. Now they have moved beyond Russia and are investigating everything.”
Trump, in an interview with the Times, said:
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.
During a press conference Thursday where Sessions wanted to talk cybersecurity, the only questions were about Trump’s comment. The attorney general responded, “I plan to continue to do so as long as that is appropriate.” White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Thursday the president doesn’t plan on pushing Sessions out.
“As the president said yesterday, he was disappointed in Attorney General Sessions’ decision to recuse himself. But clearly he has confidence in him or he would not be attorney general.”

Sessions Advances Trump’s Agenda Despite President’s Criticism
Gun prosecutions are up, sanctuary city funds have been restricted, and MS-13 has been put on notice. You wouldn’t know it if you read President Donald Trump’s tweets, but it’s been a productive week for Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The president sent out various tweets this week targeting Sessions, labeling him “beleaguered” and “very weak.” These insults came days after Trump told The New York Times that he regretted nominating Sessions due to his recusal from the investigation into Russian election interference.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, however, continued to insist thatTrump didn’t want Sessions to step down. “You can be disappointed in someone but still want them to continue to do their job,” she said.
Sources close to Sessions insisted to The Daily Caller that Sessions isn’t the kind of man to resign and will instead focus on his agenda.
