President Donald Trump, citing remarks made by Rep. Trey Gowdy on Fox News, expressed frustration with his attorney general and tweeted out a wish that he could have chosen someone other than Jeff Sessions for the job.
Funny. That’s what a lot of conservatives have been saying and thinking for some time.
Trump’s tweet came after Gowdy said on Fox that he understood why the president was a bit frustrated with Sessions, because Sessions could have given a heads-up he was going to recuse himself from the Russia investigation before he was tapped for the attorney general position.

Rep.Trey Gowdy, “I don’t think so, I think what the President is doing is expressing frustration that Attorney General Sessions should have shared these reasons for recusal before he took the job, not afterward. If I were the President and I picked someone to be the country’s….

And this:
….chief law enforcement officer, and they told me later, ‘oh by the way I’m not going to be able to participate in the most important case in the office, I would be frustrated too…and that’s how I read that – Senator Sessions, why didn’t you tell me before I picked you…..

From Breitbart:
President Donald Trump again expressed his frustration with Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Twitter Wednesday, citing remarks from Rep. Trey Gowdy on Fox News.
Gowdy said that he understood why Trump was frustrated with Sessions, because the Alabama Senator should have explained to the president that he would recuse himself from the Russia investigation before taking the job.
“There are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else,” Gowdy concluded.
“And I wish I did!” Trump added on Twitter.
Trump frustration with Sessions has mounted in recent days, particularly after learning that Sessions was a key witness for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of charges against the president for obstruction.
The New York Times reported that Trump asked Sessions in March 2017 to un-recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
