Sessions hearing watch party (2 Viewers)

[Koya]

he's not gonna give it away, give it away, give it away now

 

[need2know]

Heinrich bringing the pain

 

[McGarnicle]

There's no bucket. NO BUCKET!!!!

 

[Sinn Fein]

He doesn't seem to be taking the female Senators very seriously.

Well he would if they were at home cooking dinner like they are supposed to do...

 

[Koya]

Is it written or not seshy?

 

[SameSongNDance]

"You're just making #### up." - Heinrich

Heinrich: You are impeding this investigation #SessionsHearing

 

[mr roboto]

NO ####### 4th BUCKET!!!!!

That guy is dreamy...

 

[need2know]

It's my  judgement Heinrich take that!

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

"Are these rules written down somewhere?" is my favorite question of this hearing so far.

 

[Koya]

You are obstructing... dayum.  Laying another layer of gauntlet?

 

[Henry Ford]

"I have consulted with senior career attorneys..."

"I suspect you have."

Ouch.

 

[Koya]

Heinrich is killing it... best line of clear and direct questioning

 

[McGarnicle]

Wow yeah that's woman's leg does look weird. I hope she'll agree to answer just a few questions about that.

 

[mr roboto]

This Heinrich dude is good.

Heinrich now on to Sessions and Rosenstein never bringing up performance issues re Comey.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Just started watching video. They should have given hom a booster seat.

 

[thayman]

I'd vote for Heinrich.  Hope the DNC is paying attention.

 

[cosjobs]

Somebody should yield him their five minutes

 

[3C's]

From that to some kissy assy it appears.

 

[Koya]

I'd vote for Heinrich.  Hope the DNC is paying attention.

I'm confident they are not.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

I wish Heinrich was allowed to bring his posse to this hearing so they could give him proper hype after he dropped bombs like "the silence is deafening".

Heinrich hits hard on Sessions obstructing the Congressional investigation.

There is no "appropriateness" privilege. #SessionsHearing

 

[Adam West]

This is an embarrassing, sad, pathetic performance. But I fully expect that Trump supporters will call it a victory for Donald Trump, in which Sessions forcefully exonerated the President and exposed Comey as a liar. 

 

[cosjobs]

interesting Blunt question, "so you had no room for private meetings that night?" Right after a series of Yelsnick questions. If he were a dem, I'd smell a trap

 

[Ned]

I'm new to watching this stuff, but it's interesting to watch how much more comfortable he is responding to the R's, but not so with the D's.

 

[thayman]

A Blunt is trying to help Sessions out.....hmm there's a joke there someplace........

 

[TobiasFunke]

I'd vote for Heinrich.  Hope the DNC is paying attention.

I was gonna point out that he's a first term senator who only served a couple Congresses in the House before that. But then I remembered that we elected a inept reality TV show clown with no public service experience as president so I suppose that don't really matter.

Seriously, it's an interesting idea.

 

[Koya]

Dont.   go...  in a.... wrong........ di.....rection

 

[The Indestructible]

Looking forward to Kamala Harris.  Unlike most of the others asking questions, she knows how to ask direct questions and won't let Sessions maneuver much.  

 

[Koya]

KING!

 

[Koya]

I'm sorta maybe possibly proactively asserting for the Pres just in case ya know I dont want to, um, answer

 

[roadkill1292]

Feinstein back in the day  

"Hey, doll, I bet you were something before electricity."

It's Angus King time, y'all. #SessionsHearing

 

[cosjobs]

hell the president can assert any privilege he dreams up and in anticipation of that I cannot anwer

 

[Henry Ford]

hell the president can assert any privilege he dreams up and in anticipation of that I cannot anwer

"And if not executive privilege, some other privilege can be... I mean, might be..."

 

[AAABatteries]

I cannot answer because it will make me and POTUS look guilty but I swear we aren't!

 

[Ned]

Wait.....so Sessions is basing his opinion on the Russian hacking based only on the news?

 

[thayman]

WATER!!!!!!

 

[squistion]

Matt House‏ @mattwhouse 3m3 minutes ago

Sen. King has it exactly right: POTUS hasn't invoked executive privilege so

the Attorney General has to answer Congress's questions, period.

 

[AAABatteries]

by throwing the "I don't believe I ever did" he basically gives himself an out for any answer he gives.

 

[3C's]

From now on when someone asks me a question I'm going to refuse to answer because the prez might not want me to.

 

[Ned]

I gotta say - the way these guys don't pass out is amazing to me.  The pressure must be so intense.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

I'm just assuming at some point in the Civil War there was a battle where the Union soldiers were led by a guy named Angus King and the Confederate soldiers were led by a guy named Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III.  And it went pretty much like this line of questioning is going.

The attorney general of the United States just admitted he has never asked

for a briefing on Russia's attack on our election.

Colonel Angus?

ETA - @Bruce Dickinson - kind of disappointed in you not making the Colonel Angus joke considering how big a SNL fan you are (and how much smarter you are than me)

That he does not read.... carefully

 

[Sinn Fein]

#### i am in car.  But did this guy just acknowledge that the courts said Ag has to answer these type on questions?

 

[TobiasFunke]

Lankford Defending Sessions' refusal to answer by citing Holder's refusals that were eventually overturned in court might be peak bothsidesism.

"Remember when that other AG tried this and got smacked the hell down?  That means you get to do it too and I am shocked that anyone would suggest otherwise!"
