That was an enjoyable exchangeā¦
Partisan Hackery always results in bald faced hypocrisy,
On a more positive note, I just hooked up my Atari 400 and my kid is playing PAC Man. Defender, Centipede, or Star Rangers next!
Senator Reed was polite and deferential as he drove the dagger in. It was a joy to observeā¦
shorter Sessions = good when it helped me then, bad when itās convenient now
Sessions was for it, before he was against it.
Yea, but do you have the cassette back-up interface?
Thought Reed had the most effective set of questions. Trapped Sessions into saying that Trump didnāt share his reasons for firing Comey because if Russia came up, further discussions wouldāve violated his recusal and implied OOJ.
Heinrich delivered the body blow, and King/Harris decimated his defense. We knew Sessions was going to lie and stonewall. The key was to be able to demonstrate that to the public. Dems did their job today. The GOP was pathetically bad. Cotton was probably the worst and I wonder if the medicaid expansion cuts have been stretched out or may be off the table in the health care bill. Canāt imagine Cotton didnāt extract a price for prostituting himself like that.
CSPAN showed Sessionsā reaction in split screen. He did the gaping fish out of water thing.
Itās quite apparent from this and other testimony today that Sessions is lying about the firing. What else is he lying about?
As much as I enjoy Kamala Harris hammering of hypocritical witnesses, Sen. Reed quietly and incisively pointed out AG Sessions sanctimonious hypocrisy very clearly. It was a knife in the ribs just as useful as a hammer over the head.
The 80s games are find the fashion and hairdos are not. Donāt let him go native!!
Anything that crossed his lips was a lie, regardless of subject.
Reed had the most effective set of questions
Reed has been consistently stellar. Heās not even a regular member of this committee.
In defense of Attorney Generalā¦It may just be me, but his reading glasses on left side (right in tv land) looked broken (glass looked spider humping). If so, his inability to remember/read/recollect could be due to inability to read prepared notes and respondā¦well, that or poor decision making and friendship 
Everything that didnāt entail the invocation of the new executive potential future executive executive privilege invocation protection privilege. (Or āstonewallingā as we called it back when I was a kid.)
damn dude, now Iām gonna hafta go on disability, my eyes are ruined, and some PTSD is creeping in, had hard washed that shit from my brain 30 years ago
Yes. It needs repair though.
This is a transcript Iād like to read again because Sessions kept doing this bobbing and weaving where he answered some things and not others, claiming some form of privilege when it suited him and when it didnāt, except that heās not that skilled a liar. He seemed to admit to Wyden that his 3rd meeting w/Kislyak was in fact the reason why Comey thought Sessions was going to recuse. That would completely contradict all that huff and puff of his opening statement.
He also admitted to Reed that he did talk to Trump about the Comey firing, but had to say āI donāt recallā to whether Russia came up. His flimsy reliance on Rosensteinās b.s. cover story memo was exposed, and so it clearly looks like he was hiding and lying there. If Trump told Lester Holt, why wouldnāt he have said the same thing to Sessions in private? Wouldnāt Sessions have suggested the Rosenstein memo to keep Trump out of an OOJ trap, and wouldnāt Rosenstein do it as a way of currying favor with his new bosses?
It would be worth buying a Mac Plus, just to play Lode Runner again, in TechnoB&W
