So Clinton gets impeached for lying in a civil suit about a consensual affair, but Sesssions lying to Congress about meetings with hostile foreign powers is somehow OK?
I’m hoping Franken can compel AG Shitstain to appear so he can question him and, for the coup de grâce, say: “One last question, Mr. Attorney General: When can we expect to see your resignation?”
Always liked Franken (as Stuart Smalley, as an author of Lying Liars, as a strong, liberal midwestern Senator) but I’m just loving him in this role. Plain spoken, reasonable, intelligent. Don’t know if he wants it but I’d love to see him in the Oval office, or as Veep.
Dear Sen. Franken:
NO MERCY. NO QUARTER.
Thank you,
Sane Americans Everywhere
Perp walk needed to resolve issue.
Call media first set date and time.
Use shiny gold plated handcuffs.
Boy that would make my day.
I am concerned that, except for this from Franken, this story appears to have died.
Please tell me I am wrong.
Hard Not To Conclude That Sessions 'Perjured Himself
I say it’s impossible to come to any other conclusion unless you’re a hyper-partisan, unethical, unAmerican republican congresscritter. And I do mean the lowest form of critter.
The beauty of it is that Sessions could have answered Franken’s question properly without referring to himself at all. Instead, Sessions took it upon himself to volunteer false information, under oath. Freud would have had a field day with this.
Every time we think that, something else comes along in the #Russia debacle.
I hope he comes back to the committee too but I think Grandpa Grassley will be the first to offer him a warm glass of milk and some gingersnaps when he gets there.
Everything these Republicans are doing in running Congress right now is one big sham, just so they can pass legislation to feed the rich, and engineer corporate welfare for their donors. Their main objective is to reverse the gains we’ve made in clean energy and revert back to a fossil fuel economy too. Its one big con game. These are the most corrupt assholes ever to plague the Congress.
It really hasn’t died
Its getting swamped
But dead?
Nope
It’s actually quite easy if you are a Republican apologist desperately trying to cover up Trump’s crimes.
In other news, water is wet. Film at 11.
Trust me, I want this story to burn with the fire of a thousand whatever’s- nuns, suns, you name it. Who is going to finally blow this wide open with irrefutable evidence that cannot be spun?
“I did not mention communications I had had with the Russian Ambassador over the years because the question did not ask about them,” Sessions wrote.
Pat Leahy would disagree with that
A lawyer who doesn’t understand that lying under oath – before Congress no less-- constitutes perjury probably isn’t qualified to serve as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.
I just found out that my niece used to clerk for a RWNJ judge who went to baby judge school with Beauregard.
She left the job earlier this year, because she couldn’t take his abuse and his mood change and his evangelical nonsense. He was one effed-up, unpleasant old man.
Those guys sure don’t seem to be happy.
So would I. Listen to the entire statement and in the middle of it he says a flat No. It keeps getting swallowed up by the shit around it but it’s there. I’ve listened to it a number of times.
