How Sessions always answers tough questions:
…at least until someone has concrete evidence he knew about them, in which case his memory will be “refreshed”.
Lying little shit.
“I’ve read that in the paper recently, but I don’t recall ever being made aware of that before this recent release in the paper,”
Depending what he means by “the paper” and “recently,” this could be a denial, a confession, or anything in between.
Well, that’s always good to know in an AG. Kidnapping = bad.
That is, as far as he can recall.
Isn’t that his wife behind him?
And that sign in front of him. “Hon. Sessions”?
Not really.
NBC has reported that Trump administration officials asked the FBI to conduct a new review of the Gulen situation after inauguration, but that the FBI denied it because Turkey provided no new evidence to bolster its case.
As soon as Turkey meets Trump's ransom demands they'll get Gulen. I'd say an order for about $50 billion in military hardware that Trump can brag about in a critical moment would do nicely.Every time Beauregard says, "I can’t recall,” a Watergate burglar gets his wings.
Good to get him on the record, even though his answers were very guarded. The way this movie is playing out, only a matter of time before we find out he knew.
These allegations that he knew of Flynn’s Turkey dealings and alleged kidnapping plot are scurrilous politically motivated falsehoods! He should appoint a special prosecutor to investigate everyone who’s suggesting that he knew of Flynn’s Turkey dealings and alleged kidnapping plot.
That’s my drinking game. I take a swig every time he says that…excuse me while I go sleep this off…
“I’m aware that the Turkish government continued to press the federal government with regard to seeking the return of Mr. Gulen to Turkey… And our department had a role to play in that though I’m not at liberty to discuss the details of that.”
FFS.
How long is Jubilation T. Conepone going to claim he doesn’t remember shit? Christ, he acts like everyone’s Old Man when he lost his car keys.
Bilbo Bigot doesn’t remember much, does he?
Translation: We’ve been waiting until the heat is off.
“I’ve read that in the paper recently, but I don’t recall ever being made aware of that before this recent release in the paper,” Sessions said of Flynn’s conversations.
Huh. I’d have thought that a kidnapping plot is one of those things you either do or don’t remember.
Unless he’s saying “Well, I saw an e-m about an effort to kidnap this guy but I had so many things going on I delegated someone to look into it and then forgot about it.”
For someone who was so closely and strategically involved in the campaign and the transition, Sessions sure wasn’t aware of much of what was going on around him (as far as he recalls - until an email or tape is produced). Maybe that MAGA cap covered up his little elfin ears and his beady little eyes.
When Ted Liu was questioning Li’l Jeffy, he kept after Sessions’ lies.
Liu would say that Sessions’ testimony was the opposite of his Senate testimony and ask, “Were you lying to the Senate, or are you lying now?”
This happened more than once—and it was a sight to behold.
Sessions’ theme song seems to be “I Forgot To Remember To Forget.”
I met with Christie.
You met with Russians.
I championed Blacks.
You hung with Klanners.
Ah, yes, I rember it, well.
