It is clearly time for these oversight committees to start invoking Contempt of Congress citations.
How?
Step 1: Sessions says “Fuck you, make me quit.”
Step 2: Durbin Apologizes.
Step 3: MSNBC Apologizes.
That was a long term syndrome, but they solved it (if I may be redundant) by hiring all the Fox rejects.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) on Tuesday said it is “hard to see” how Attorney General Jeff Sessions can remain in his position after refusing to answer questions during an open session of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Durbin is a little slow on the uptake. To me it was obvious during his confirmation hearing that Sessions shouldn’t be allowed to serve as Attorney General. Elizabeth Warren tried to tell them that, but she was handed a big bowl of STFU and told to sit down.
Coretta Scott King is up in heaven, shaking her head and muttering, “I told you so”.
“I’m protecting the right of the President to assert it if he chooses,” Sessions replied.
“I’m protecting the right of the President to travel back in time, chair the Constitutional Convention, include an explicit exemption in the Treason Clause for Republican commanders-in-chief who collude with hostile nuclear powers to subvert our elections, and guarantee immunity for members of his administration who either perjure themselves or refuse to testify while admitting no legal basis for stonewalling a Congressional investigation…”
“If he chooses.”
Yeah well better late than never.
Sessions is basically the defacto head of the DEA. He has reduced his own powers and abilities as the nation’s attorney and all that he really gives two flying figs about is rescinding medical marijuana laws and imprisoning pot smokers for extended sentences while ignoring the real drug epidemic in America.
Maybe, ya think, its because the potheads are Democrats and the opioid freaks overwhelmingly are Trounce supporters, ya think.
Good statement by Durbin. Keep the drumbeat going.
Sadly,
Until republicans start losing seats and Trump becomes politically toxic… Sessions is going to keep on lying to your faces.
Thank you Senator Durbin , for saying what needs to be said.
I don’t know, unwritten long term policy, and “I don’t recall” just doomed Dixie Pixie.
Yeah I would like to know how many times he said I don’t recall.
My shot glass has a counter on it, let me get back to you when my hangover subsides…
Yeah and I’m thinking you probably lost count in there somewhere. hahahahahaha
by not giving it away
But, I don’t recall…
I would think you would need medical attention.
