Willful ignorance? He’d have had to run away from the Senate to not have known.
He wouldn’t/didn’t take intel meetings on Russian meddling but was satisfied to just read about it in newspapers? JHC!
Wait, they told you the Russians had subverted our electoral process and you’re response as a sitting Senator and incoming AG was “meh”? You should be shot, sir.
Awesome exchange with King…
US Attorney Generals do not slip up so badly, Sessions is clearly guilty of something…
Absolutely!
To be fair, Mr. Sessions has other worries. There are states out there (like mine) that have legalized marijuana. He wants to prosecute 'em. (I know, collective gasp) Then there are those ‘uppity’ people… those people. You know the ones. They need to be put in their place. You can see having Russians interfering in our elections and Russian agents in the White House, just doesn’t rise to a high enough level of concern.
You received no briefing on the Russian active measures in connection with the 2016 election?”
“No, I don’t believe I ever did,” Sessions said.
This has nothing to do with his stated recusal re: his involvement in the Trump campaign and Trump-Russian collusion.
It is all about the Russian hacking of the election. He is the AG… sputter…sputter… WTF?
This guy should be fired for stupidity, willful ignorance, and avoiding his job.
Yet Republicans always have a “welfare queen” with no job and a princess phone to trot out.
Same difference.
Does Jeffie mean he believes all the "fake news?"
Well, this is as good an excuse as any to post this…
Fortunately or not I couldn’t watch much of Forrest Sessions today. In the bit I did see he made an aside comment that the Soviet Union had fallen in 1989 and expressed hope for closer relations. It seemed like a strange thing to say in the heart of an investigation that has shown overwhelming evidence that Russia was successfully engaged in cyber warfare during our elections specifically to sew the seeds of internal strife here in America.
What f-ing planet is this guy from? Partisan difference are one thing but how have we gotten to the point where the nations chief law enforcement official is willfully ignorant, (and ignorantly willful), of crimes being committed by a foreign adversary and the congress is ok with that.
We’re a nation in crisis.
You mean Pravda?!?
