Trump blasts Sessions over GOP congressmen indictments (Sept 3rd)

I bet Flake, Collins and Corker are "concerned" by that tweet.
Heck, they might even be "troubled".

If they get up to "viewing with alarm", it's serious.

This alone is obstruction of justice, right?

I doubt it.  Technically all Trump is doing here is complaining, not trying to impede the investigations.

Can anyone find any instance in history when a President attacks his own Cabinet member? I don't even know what to say about this.

I think the Saturday Night Massacre would qualify as an attack.

Sasse and Collins have already warned that a Sessions replacement wouldn't get confirmed.

Have they? I've seen them say it was a bad idea, there wasn't time, it would be hard to get another AG confirmed, etc. But I haven't seen any of them say they'd refuse to vote for a replacement on principle.

I read that as Sasse drawing the line, but Collins not.
