Is Sessions saying he's never talked with the president about the Russian hacking attempts of the election while being the Attorney General? That seems troubling given that there seems to be at least a credible prospect of such a thing occurring, if the National Security Council isn't talking about that then... like what the hell?

Yeah it's complete and total bullshit to say you cant answer because of the POTUS constitutional right to executive privilege when the POTUS himself has NOT invoked this privilege. How he is getting away with this tactic is pretty gross.

This surprises you? The head of the government actively denied it happening, ofc they are doing nothing about it.

The committee has no actual power to make him answer questions right? He can bullshit all he wants, they cant stop him from getting away from it.

lol at senator cotton pretending either one of them can recognize trade craft well enough to say it didn't happen at a reception.

to be arrogantly dramatic in the question only makes it worse.

Yep. The year after an election season with more twists and turns than House of Cards while we have a President who signs fake executive orders.

He's on the National Security Council. This would strongly imply that council has not discussed the matter since Sessions joined it.

he recused himself from an investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia, not from the report on how Russia interfered that was compiled under Obama.

But remember there is a secret link between Sessions and Russia as per Comey's testimony. Who knows, maybe the intelligence community cut him from access for a reason?

He might as well say: I’m a senator and I don’t think anyone in the CIA could take advantage of me.

I don't think the Rosenstein memo can hold up as the actual reason for Comey's firing. Rosenstein himself disputes that, and Trump was recorded disputing that, and there are mountains of evidence suggesting the administration praised how Comey handled the emails.

That said, it's not a matter of whether it's true, it's whether Republicans can spin it to their base. Which is sadly not a problem.

For Session's part, he simply says his opinion was requested, he gave it, then asked for in writing, he provided it. The rest is on Trump.

I've caught most of it, and what I've heard has been good. Oh man that Wyden exchange was hilarious.

She sounds like a prosecutor.
You can obviously tell who has a legal background.

Edit: still can't believe their argument to fire Comey is that he was unfair to Hillary. Bold doesn't even begin to describe that claim.

Her question was important, because Sessions seems to be leaning on the argument that working for the president prevents him from answering any question he feels the president would disapprove of. But he is leaning on some “long standing” justice department policy he can’t cite or name and has not read to back that up.

I like how we're supposed to believe what Comey did was "Stunning" nearly a year after he did it when these same people were not vocal about it at the time.
