President Trump tweeted tweeted Wednesday morning that he wished he picked someone other than Jeff Sessions to be attorney general, after Rep. Trey Gowdy, S.C., said “there are lots of really good lawyers in the country.”
“I wish I did,” Trump tweeted, after quoting Gowdy’s appearance on “CBS This Morning” saying Trump “could have picked someone else.”
In the interview, Gowdy was asked whether Trump was obstructing justice by asking Sessions to reverse his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
"I think what the president is doing is expressing frustration that Attorney General Sessions should have shared these reasons for recusal before he took the job. Not afterward." — @TGowdySC pic.twitter.com/6E5Nvotcix

“If I were the President and I picked someone to be the country’s chief law enforcement officer, and they told me later ‘oh by the way I’m not going to be able to participate in the most important case in the office, I would be frustrated too,” Trump quoted Gowdy as saying in a string of tweets.
“‘Senator Sessions, why didn’t you tell me before I picked you, there are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else!’ And I wish I did!” Trump tweeted.

And some of us voters wish other voters had not voted for Trump.
Yes, he’s not the only one with regrets.
