In another tweet, Trump stated that Democrats probably “love” Sessions in the wake of the charges against Collins and Hunter. He also compared the attorney general’s popularity to former FBI Director James Comey, whom he fired last year.
….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!

Last month, Trump brought up the idea of firing Sessions during private conversations with his aides and personal lawyers, according to reports.
