Washington,DC – In new early morning tweets on Friday, Donald Trump again targeted Attorney- General Jeff Sessions for saying he’ll not be influenced by political concerns.
Sessions had for the first time fired back at Trump on Thursday saying in a statement that department of Justice decisions will not be influenced by political considerations.
“While I am attorney general, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations,” Sessions had declared.
Trump had earlier expressed dissatisfaction with his AG, saying on Fox TV that Sessions had failed to take control of the DOJ.
As well Trump wondered about Sessions manhood and why he had recused himself from the Russia probe.
Trump fired two Twitter missiles at Sessions.
“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!

It’s not clear why Trump is engaging in a public war with his own appointee.
But most people believe Trump is unnerved by the conviction of his former campaign manager Paul Manafort.
And his own lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen’s said in testimony that he paid off two women prior to the 2016 election after being directed by Trump to do so.
One was a one-night stand with porn actress Stormy Daniels and the other was a longer affair with playboy model Karen McDougal. Both were paid hush money in the tens of thousands.
Cohen told the judge during his guilty plea that he made the payments at the direction of Trump.
That statement in front of a judge effectively identified Trump as a conspirator in an election finance crime.
