Trump continues to attack his own AG, Sessions, this time via Twitter

Trump has absolutely no comprehension of the concept of conflict of interest.

Sure he does, but it's not the one most people use.  For Trump, something is either in his interest or else it's a conflict.

Nice!

Bilbo says he's a non-resignator... at the moment.

Is that a reference to Mississippi segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo? If so, well played sir!

Well, on second thought, it's not entirely fair to sessions. For all his region racism Bilbo actually enacted some Progressive measures as Governor like compulsory school education. No one would ever accuse sections of having done anything remotely Progressive throughout his career.

I assumed it was a reference to Bilbo Baggins (hobbit) given Sessions's height.

I never knew sessions was a bit of a runt. Though at five foot seven and a fraction I consider that term relative.
