President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign manager Brad Parscale is calling for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to be removed and special counsel Robert Mueller to end the Russia probe.
“Time to fire Sessions,” Parscale tweeted as Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified before both the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees on the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email probe. “End the Mueller investigation. You can’t obstruct something that was phony against you.”
Time to fire Sessions
End the Mueller investigation
You can’t obstruct something that was phony against you
The IG report gives @realDonaldTrump the truth to end it all.

“The IG report gives @realDonaldTrump the truth to end it all,” he concluded.
The Reagan Battalion, a conservative group frequently critical of President Trump, jabbed Parscale for demanding Sessions be fired.
“Jeff Sessions was the first and only GOP Senator to endorse Donald Trump for President during the GOP primaries, fair to assume that Trump wouldn’t have won the primaries without Session’s support,” the group tweeted to Trump’s reelection manager.

“Total crap,” Parscale shot back, suggesting Donald Trump only needed social media and Trump Force One, his Boeing 757, to win the Republican primary.
Total crap. @realDonaldTrump could have won the entire thing with his cell phone and airplane. He didn’t need anyone to win the primary. Sessions was a great supporter, but made critical mistakes once confirmed. https://t.co/hnwz7iORRp

On May 30, President Donald Trump tweeted his regret of nominating Sessions to head up the Justice Department.
Responding to Rep. Trey Gowdy’s interview with the Fox News Channel in which the outgoing Congressman said he understood why the President regrets not putting forth another pick for Attorney General, Trump tweeted, “I wish I did!”
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….

….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…..

….There are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else!” And I wish I did!

Sessions announced his recusal from all “matters that deal with the Trump campaign,” in March of 2017.
