NYT: Trump Blasts Sessions for Charging G.O.P. Members Before Midterms (Paywall)
Sept. 3, 2018
In a pair of tweets sent midafternoon, Mr. Trump suggested that the Justice Department should not have brought charges against two “very popular” Republican lawmakers running for re-election so close to November because it could jeopardize the party’s control of the House.
Jefferson Sessions
has a serious flaw.
Though he's my AG,
he follows the law!
The facts are so simple.
Obviously,
no one is guilty
if they support me.
And whether they
are guilty or not —
I am THE PRESIDENT
and I say so what?
Protect your friends,
punish your foes.
Someone gets in your way,
they get punched in the nose.
If Jeff's unwilling
to abuse his powers,
I gotta tell 'im,
bye-bye, hit the showers.
