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

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

Again, Sessions is recused on the subject of potential Trump campaign collusion,

not on Russia's cyberwar against the U.S. more generally.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Hey Lankford - why the long face?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Interesting that Lankford mentions Holder. When Holder held back documents to allow Obama to determine whether to invoke privilege, the House Oversight Committee voted to hold him in contempt.

Peeps can rip on suishy, but I like the tweets... and very interesting take. WTF then?

 

[TobiasFunke]

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

You heard right. He said that in defense of Sessions, somehow.

It was something else.

All of the Republican committee members should be replaced by garden gnomes with "we love you" T-shirts on.

Would yield the same results.

These people and those that support them are too stupid to realize how stupid they are.

God we are so ####ed as a nation.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

IMO Manchin always looks like a college basketball coach who just got whistled for a technical.

 

[Don't Noonan]

Wyden has no problems getting re-elected here; he serves his constituency extremely well.  Noonan has lived in this state in years.  

Agreed.  One of the reasons I moved to Arizona.

 

[mr. furley]

dammit, missed it until now. 

Sessions sure sounds like he's scrambling

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

I'm faxing his office that Buchwald list with a few numbers circled on it.

Layout out some webbing...

Lankford: unnamed source said Trump was going to fire Mueller. unnamed source

 

[ren hoek]

Russia!

What a ####show.  

 

[Ned]

"I don't have any information" vs. "I don't recall"

   

 

[Don't Noonan]

This is hilarious, let me name 20 people and let me know if you know if they met with Russian officials before the election. 

 

[3C's]

Sessions memory is terrible. He can't recall anything. Seems like that would make it difficult to do his job.

Wow incredible joy reid tweet squistion you are on fire today man 

 

[Evilgrin 72]

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. 

 

[3C's]

Tom Cottonballs to the rescue!

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Book club!

 

[AcerFC]

I feel like ive seen a movie like that

 

[Koya]

Wow incredible joy reid tweet squistion you are on fire today man 

I agree. Keep it up squishter

 

[KCitons]

it's a circle jerk.

 

[ren hoek]

Just to be clear here

we've now moved the goalposts from collusion/conspiracy to obstructing an investigation into the thing that never happened?

Wow incredible joy reid tweet squistion you are on fire today man 

Thanks. Here's another for you:

Tom Cotton is off on a completely irrelevant tangent, trying to dismiss Russiagate

through the use of spy movies. #SessionsHearing

 

[Henry Ford]

"I don't have any information" vs. "I don't recall"

   

Very different answers.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Does this really have to preemept my local news?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Just to be clear here

we've now moved the goalposts from collusion/conspiracy to obstructing an investigation into the thing that never happened?  

We don't know if it happened. But it is not unusual for the coverup to be easier to prove than the crime. 

 

[squistion]

Joy Reid‏Verified account @JoyAnnReid 2m2 minutes ago

Cotton and Jefferson Beauregard should take their buddy act on the road.

 

[3C's]

Gotta point there

OMG tom cotton saying this sounds ridiculous so it can't be true. DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT OF THE USA

 

[Henry Ford]

Just to be clear here

we've now moved the goalposts from collusion/conspiracy to obstructing an investigation into the thing that never happened?  

No, either would be illegal.  But I think people are most concerned with obstructing an investigation into the thing that happened rather than a thing that didn't.

 

[TobiasFunke]

Just to be clear here

we've now moved the goalposts from collusion/conspiracy to obstructing an investigation into the thing that never happened?  

No.  We've added obstruction of justice to allegations of collusion/conspiracy with respect to a known criminal act, an investigation into which is ongoing.

You know, like with that Nixon guy.

Clear?

It's Kamala time. #SessionsHearing

 

[3C's]

Sessions gonna try to filibuster Harris' 5 minutes.

 

[AcerFC]

Kamala the sessions headhunter

 

[Henry Ford]

"I did not take notes of the conversation I had with the Russian Ambassador at the convention"

Wait, are we sure there was one now?

 

[squistion]

Joy Reid‏Verified account @JoyAnnReid 1m1 minute ago

Kamala Harris asks if Sessions at any time refreshed his recollection of events with written notes.

 

[metoo]

IMO Manchin always looks like a college basketball coach who just got whistled for a technical.

You win.

 

[need2know]

"I'm just an unfrozen relic of the Confederacy.  I wouldn't know how to collude with the Russians."

He's an expert with canon alignment on the battlefield and cotton distribution though.  Waiting for questions on that

"I don't want to be rushed this fast, it makes me nervous."

Kamala wants all the calendars, notes and documents Sessions used to prepare for the hearing. She ain't playing.

Kamala keeps coming: asks if Sessions reviewed with his staff the parameters of what he can share with the committee.
