President Trump reignited his feud with Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
But no one was prepared for Trump to go nuclear.
That’s what happened when Trump called out Jeff Sessions with two jaw-dropping tweets.
Trump blasted Sessions for overseeing two Justice Department prosecutions of two Republican Congressman on the eve of the midterm elections.
The DOJ indicted New York Congressman Chris Collins on insider trading charges and California Congressman Duncan Hunter on allegations of using campaign funds for personal use.
Trump ripped both indictments as politically motivated and timed so the Republicans could not replace either candidate on the ballot.
Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff……

….The Democrats, none of whom voted for Jeff Sessions, must love him now. Same thing with Lyin’ James Comey. The Dems all hated him, wanted him out, thought he was disgusting – UNTIL I FIRED HIM! Immediately he became a wonderful man, a saint like figure in fact. Really sick!

Trump’s social media digs at Sessions have ramped up in recent weeks.
Republican Senators – who had previously stood behind Sessions – now say Trump has the right to have an Attorney General he trusts.
They also believe Trump will fire Sessions after the midterm elections.
Trump was enraged by Sessions’ recusal in the Russia investigation.
That move allowed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to appoint Robert Mueller as special counsel.
Mueller threatens to frame Trump for colluding with Russia and obstructing justice so Congress can impeach the President.
