Donald Trump actually said...

"Sessions gets the job. Right after he gets the job, he recuse himself. Was that a mistake?"

"He believes that Mueller has a number of conflicts of interest."

"He very bluntly said that he would not have appointed him if he had known he would recuse himself from anything Russia related, he would have appointed somebody else."

"He believed that Comey was trying to essentially get leverage over him with that dossier."
