For months, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has endured a public thrashing … over nothing.
He broke no laws, breached no ethical rules, and “colluded” with no one. Nonetheless, he was maligned and vilified by those who sought to impugn his honesty and integrity for what now seems, in retrospect, to be nothing more than partisan politics.
Tuesday, it was his turn. Sessions vigorously defended himself at a public hearing and refuted accusations that he had lied before Congress. He acquitted himself nicely.
Confirmation Revisited
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., set the ugly tone for Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee when he began by misrepresenting Sessions’ testimony at his confirmation hearing in January, selectively reading only part of Sessions’ testimony and deliberately omitting the full question and full answer. It was a shameful cheap shot by Warner, driven either by malice or ignorance. Maybe both.
But Attorney General Jeff Sessions would have none of it. In his own determined but reserved way, Sessions expressed his contempt for what he called “scurrilous” accusations against him. Too bad the camera was not focused on Warner’s face. There might have been egg all over it.
It was Sessions’ confirmation testimony, clearly misconstrued, which formed the basis for the persistent canard that he deceived Congress and committed perjury. It was a ludicrous claim when it was first made months ago. But that did not stop partisans from perpetuating it and the media from running wild with it.

Thank you Gregg Appreciate your comments
When America is over run by a racist bigoted leftist media that works against America, the outcome will always be exactly what we see. They own & operate 90% of the media outlets. The media is a political corruption machine working for insiders.
Perfect.
I despise all those demonic-rat senators.
Thank God for Senator Cotton!
ALL the other GOP Senators ought to take a cue from Cotton and start mocking the proceedings which are nothing but a hoax, just like President Trump has stated from the very beginning.
Show us the crime and we’ll go from there.
WHAT? No crime?
Then stop the hoax of this political witch hunt!
Stop this hoax immediately!
Bump!
I couldn’t agree more, my FRiend!
Republicans are allowing this though. They have Congress and the WH and the Dems are still running the show. I’m done with politics folks if no progress is made on Trump’s agenda.
....For months, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has endured a public thrashing … over nothing...
Part of the Democrat “Resist and obstruct” long range plans.
This will not stop. When this is over, Democrat lies, misrepresentations, innuendo, and schemes to destroy the President will continue with something else new.
A guest on Dobbs tonight reminded him the republicans are in charge of these hoax investigations and have the power to shut them down any time they like.
So what does that tell you about their loyalty to the president.
“This will not stop. When this is over, Democrat lies, misrepresentations, innuendo, and schemes to destroy the President will continue with something else new.”
This is correct. Mueller hasn’t even warned up yet. I listened to Sessions explaining his recusal and under the exact same circumstances there’s 0
chance a Rat would have recused..0.
Our Country can never be the same after what is happening now. I am very worried. All the institutions are being torn apart. And only one side can be victorious and our side doesn’t even seem to care.
Fear not, people are tuning out both the media and the Dems...
I agree...Thinking back over the years to President Eisenhower and Presidents that followed him there have been scandals, partisanship and some that went over the line.
Nothing that I can remember is more over the line than what has taken place in the last 8 1/2 years, not only illegals here but Americans are turning against one another.
We have to come together and restore the rule of law or we lose our country.
Dueling needs to make a comeback in the US.
Jarrett has been doing yeoman work on all of this
“...republicans are in charge of these hoax investigations and have the power to shut them down any time they like...”
The republicans are a disgrace.
We ought to vote them all out except for the very few who have stood up for and supported the President.
It is beyond disgusting that the republican RINOs let this circus go on and on with their tacit “blessing”, even aiding and abetting it all.
Uh ... we don’t have a side Hildy.
Until the GOP starts playing hardball like the Rats do this will always be the story. Nice Guys finish last in politics.
Here’s how he can get his good name back. Prosecute Hillary, Comey, Lynch, Jarret, and the list goes on. Lock them up and make a better name for yourself.
I’m there with you. Ryan encouraging Trump to not fire Mueller, says let him do his job. Yeah, we know what job you want done Ryan.
