Well Gingrich is being critical:

"Newt Gingrich, a frequent Trump adviser, said that the president, with his criticisms of Sessions, was simply venting and being "honest about his feelings. But that doesn't mean he's going to do anything," Gingrich said. Still, he said the president's comments would have repercussions when it comes to staff morale.
"Anybody who is good at team building would suggest to the president that attacking members of your team rattles the whole team," Gingrich said."

I think it's rather bad form and somewhat bafoonish. The worst thing a business leader can do for employee morale is to publicly rake a subordinate over the coals IMO.

Then, problem solved.

Excellent point and one we discussed at the cigar shop - where we solve the worlds problems - today. Two lawyers whose opinions I value highly think recusal was the ethical thing for Sessions to do but that his Deputy AG should be made to do the same. With the current situation I think maybe he shouldn't have.

Cigar smoke makes me want to puke.
