It's Donald Trump Who Has Taken a Very Weak Position on Hillary Clinton's Crimes

When Jeff Sessions became the first U.S. Senator to endorse Donald Trump, I'm sure he thought he would be immune from his Twitter tirades. Sessions is now paying the price for supporting Trump. President Trump's campaign against his own Attorney General continued today with this ditty:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!

But if anyone has taken a very weak position on Hillary Clinton's crimes, it is Trump. After all, it was Trump who told the world two weeks after he had been elected President that Hillary "had been through enough" and that his administration would not be pursuing any action against her. 

If Trump truly believes Hillary has committed crimes then what is to stop him from directing Sessions to open up an investigation against her?

But this isn't about Hillary. At least not this time. This is about Sessions and his apparently unpardonable sin of recusing himself from the Russia investigation. Sessions is going to be in Trump's cross hairs until he resigns or if someone else causes the President greater offense. This is no way to govern.
