As the White House braces for former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony Thursday, sources tell ABC News the relationship between President Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions has become so tense that Sessions at one point recently even suggested he could resign.
The friction between the two men stems from the attorney general's abrupt decision in March to recuse himself from anything related to the Russia investigation -- a decision the president only learned about minutes before Sessions announced it publicly. Multiple sources say the recusal is one of the top disappointments of his presidency so far and one the president has remained fixated on.
Trump’s anger over the recusal has not diminished with time. Two sources close to the president say he has lashed out repeatedly at the attorney general in private meetings, blaming the recusal for the expansion of the Russia investigation, now overseen by Special Counsel and former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
But sources say the frustration runs both ways, prompting the resignation offer from Sessions.

because if the President is convinced the investigation is bs to delegitimize his term, why would he want to expand it?
I'd try to squash it too, I'd have work to do and don't need the distractions.

Hope he does resign.
His efforts for mandatory minimums and a renewed war on drugs will cost the Repubicans votes in the future.
Legalizing pot would be a popular decision, fighting against it will do nothing but create animosity with anyone that partakes of the herb.
Don't hate those who enforce the law, hate those who legislate it?

he spent most of his election time distracting everybody else, and got away with blue murder, it's his time to get distracted, the bigger the better.

that's not how it works, if you want to distract him on his personal time then I don't care; but what you're trying to do is use a conspiracy theory to deligitimize and overthrow the results of an election.
You're not just messing with President Trump, you're messing with the voters who elected him to fulfill his goals.
